Wow, that got no press at all. I watched various news feeds, both on-line and on TV and saw nothing about it.

I don't recall where I saw it but there was one little headline about it. I think it reflects the short attention span of the average netizen.

It was the top story on NPR (radio) this morning. Also a medium length story about it covering the various highlights (and low lights) of her tenure as Atty. General.

I suppose we should say something nice about her. "She didn't owe me money when she died".

I thought she was a decent Attorney General. Took way too much heat for Waco and especially Ruby Ridge, which occurred before her watch. Anyone remember the Elian event?

The Cubans in Southern Florida certainly do, If Trump wasn't the idiot he is, they'd continue to vote Republican. Good thing he is an idiot.

That was a very *interesting* case!

She was mislead and probably lied to by the FBI and ATF. She ended up making the decision that led to the Waco Whacko's deaths. And then she owned up to that, explaining it was her decision. I admired her for that. Among many other things.geonuc wrote:I thought she was a decent Attorney General. Took way too much heat for Waco and especially Ruby Ridge, which occurred before her watch.
