...some of his testimony against the 60-year-old Los Alamos engineer. But there was rubble everywhere you looked. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, whose department had ignored security lapses at Los Alamos for years, was walking around in a daze. Rescue workers were still searching for Attorney General Janet Reno and her deputy, Eric Holder, who were trying to explain why they had suddenly agreed to drop 58 of 59 charges against a man once accused of stealing the "crown jewels" of America's nuclear arsenal. When master survivalist Bill Clinton came out of hiding, it was to confide...
Bush campaign officials are accusing the Reno Justice Department of blatant partisanship by leaking a story that FBI investigators have focused on someone inside the Bush camp as a likely suspect in the case of who mailed a sensitive Bush debate preparation videotape and documents to the Gore campaign. Reacting furiously to an Associated Press story that moved very early Saturday morning, Bush communications director Karen Hughes told reporters that campaign manager Joe Allbaugh has called FBI director Louis Freeh to complain that "it is completely inappropriate and wrong for the Justice Department to play politics by leaking information...
Harvey, a San Francisco bohemian, started the tradition 14 years ago as a punk-pagan celebration on a San Francisco beach and moved it to a lifeless desert northeast of Reno in 1990 when the S.F. beach patrol kicked him off.

But the House GOP was in no mood to show any quarter to Reno or other officials on the case. That spring, several senators tagged Reno in public for denying the FBI its warrant to inspect Lee's computer in 1997. By the fall, Reno and the rest of the administration were under intense pressure - and not just from Republicans - to move against Lee. Energy Secretary Richardson was pushing...
...true to form, in July 1997, Reno's staff turned down the FBI's request for permission to search Lee's computer because the agents lacked the "probable cause" evidence required by law. The agency appealed to Reno, who refused to budge. Her decision was correct, but FBI grumbling about it made its way, as many FBI complaints do, to Capitol Hill. There, congressional Republicans who were already angry at Reno for dragging her feet on another probe involving China - the 1997 investigation into the highly creative Clinton-Gore fund-raising practices during the 1996 campaign - began to keep...
