Shortly thereafter, Prozac cheap, Cheap Prozac overnight delivery, Johnston was pulled from the case and a few months later, in January 2000, purchase Prozac online, Ordering Prozac online, he quit the Justice Department. At the time, buy Prozac without prescription, Køb billige Prozac, the Dallas Morning News reported that “the strain of the last six months, a period in which he has been ostracized by federal colleagues outside Waco, buy Prozac online cheap, Illinois IL Ill., was a major reason for his decision to leave the office he opened for the Justice Department in 1987.”

Incidentally, the full details of the mess are available at the Web site of the Dallas Morning News, comprar en línea Prozac, Prozac price, which has been the single mainstream news site to thoroughly and fairly cover the unpleasant revelations about government misconduct at Waco, the related litigation, buy Prozac online without prescription, Ordering Prozac online cheap, and former Sen. Danforth’s whitewashing report on the fiasco, ordering Prozac without prescription. Osta Prozac online, Well, now it’s the fall of 2000, U.S. District Judge Walter Smith and former Sen, order Prozac no prescription. John Danforth have officially opined that federal agents committed no important transgression at Waco in 1993 or in the subsequent handling of evidence, and the matter is off the news radar across the country. It’s payback time.

At the instigation of John Danforth, now acting more like a hit man than an investigator, the one government whistleblower in the Waco case, Bill Johnston, has been indicted on federal charges of obstructing the special counsel’s investigation. That’s right, the man who revealed the coverup is accused of impeding justice, with the threat of prison time as the special booby prize for revealing his colleagues’ shenanigans. Order Prozac no prescription, Mr. Johnston’s great crime appears to have been to withhold several pages of notes that show that he was long aware of some of the information that he revealed in 1999. He acknowledges his error, but argues that he was afraid that his colleagues, who had clearly taken umbrage at his revelatory ways, would use the information to crucify him. What he did was illegal, no doubt, but would seem to pale in comparison to the conduct of ATF and FBI agents at Waco in 1993, and Justice Department officials at the subsequent trial and in the years after.

For example, quoting the Danforth report on the conduct of Ray and LeRoy Jahn, the husband-wife federal team that directed the prosecution of surviving Branch Davidians:

What penalty did the Danforth report recommend, order Prozac no prescription.

So, let’s get this straight. The penalty for arguably fixing a criminal trial is to be fired, but the penalty for covering your ass is criminal prosecution.

This looks an awful lot like crude official revenge against a whistleblower, and a shot across the bow to any other government officials with loose lips. Order Prozac no prescription, Make no mistake, Bill Johnston is no pristine hero. He was a “good soldier” for the government for many years, and participated in the prosecution of the Branch Davidians. In that case, he was part of the team that turned convictions on minor counts into sentences that were denounced by the jury forewoman and were finally ruled illegal by the Supreme Court just this year.

But everybody has an opportunity to do both good and ill in life, and Johnston did the right thing when he helped a documentary maker gain access to key evidence, and then when he blew the whistle on a coverup by his Justice Department colleagues.

We should give Johnston a pat on the back – and offer him the chance to prosecute some of the folks still warming seats at the Justice Department.
