Norman’s post is spot on. Let us recall that Hillary Clinton pushed for Janet Reno to become U.S. Attorney General in 1993 because Reno was “good on children’s issues.” Why did Hillary consider her to be “good”? It seems that Reno as state’s attorney in Dade County, Florida, was at the forefront of the child molestation witch hunts during the 1980s. That mean malicious prosecutions against day care owners based upon “testimony” from very young children that was extracted from them by government social workers.

Those of you not familiar with what happened was that social workers would take children one by one, and browbeat them until the kids came up with fantastic stories of all sorts of things (which I will not mention here, except to say that the stories seemed to be the same across the country) that were supposed to have happened that, when one applies simple logic, were impossible.

In one case, Reno accused a couple of molestation and had the wife, an 18-year-old Honduran immigrant, held without bond, naked in a jail cell (in full view of male guards) for a year. Finally, after Reno told her that she would remain in this situation until she was willing to testify as to what Reno wanted to hear, the woman broke and “testified” against her husband. (She since has recanted.) This was not the only lying and malicious prosecution on Reno’s watch, but one of the most notorious.

Of course, after taking office, one of the first things she did was to massacre dozens of children at Waco, and then lied about the whole thing. Jim Bovard and Judge Andrew Napolitano have documented many of Reno’s crimes in their various books.

So, at least we have an idea of what Hillary means by “protecting the children”: falsely accuse people, commit murder, massacre children — and watch the adoring media swoon.
