Absolute Power: The Legacy of Corruption in the Clinton-Reno Justice Department

The Story

The pictures are a searing part of American history. The Branch Davidian settlement at Waco in flames. The machine-gun wielding, helmeted troopers crashing their way into an unarmed house to steel away Elian Gonzales. Al Gore robotically repeating that there was no controlling legal authority to keep him from raising money in the White House. This comprehensive inquiry into the Clinton-Gore administration and Reno Justice Department finds that federal law was politicized and precedents were set for a legal war against the rule of law and the traditional civil liberties of the United States.
