However, she has other things to worry about. Representative Dan Burton's Committee on Government Reform (which has always favored Freeh over Reno) was sending out subpoenas and watching the new tapes for signs of illegal involvement by "observers" from the Army's supersecret Delta Force. Led by chief investigative counsel Jim Wilson, the committee seems to be on the verge of starting up a fresh probe...
...hadn't she been told that airplane surveillance tapes, which captured the moment when the pyrotechnic rounds were deployed, had been found in a box in the HRT office in Quantico, Va.? Dispatching the marshals would be a sign of her anger and a vote of no confidence in Freeh and the FBI, right? Wrong, she said. "I don't think this is a matter of anger," Reno said stonily. "This is a matter of getting to the truth. And whatever I am, I am as dedicated as I possibly can be to getting to the truth." She added, "Sometimes...

Then there was the question of whether Reno and Freeh were locked in a behind-closed-doors feud...
...Panama for a presidential inauguration when the U.S. marshals marched into FBI headquarters, and instantaneous leaks of the foray were regarded as her camp's first big p.r. move against Freeh since the debacle erupted two weeks ago. He had started his own damage control early, making public the memos that confirmed the use of hot grenades, naming 40 agents to gather the facts and proposing that a reputable outsider head the new investigation.

Some of the FBI's own: What exactly did HRT commander Dick Rogers understand about his latitude to make operational decisions without seeking clearance from FBI headquarters or from Reno? And why didn't FBI lawyers alert Freeh and Reno when, in February 1996, they received a memo from Quantico reporting that HRT operators had sought and received permission to attempt to gas the concrete bunker with military rounds that had "the potential for causing a fire"? And did conflicts within the federal team at Waco play any role in the decision...
