Wow, what a shameful and deceptive abuse of a terrible event.

They tried to just list bad things, talk about Trump menacingly, then talk about bad things again. Yet, it made no sense how those different topics were connected.

Is Salon really continuing a 40 year old dog whistle, pretending Regan gave a speech there because of the racial attack nearly 20 years before that?

The FBI made the child molestation accusations, having been watching them, about it and guns before the newspaper article. They then infiltrated with undercover officers and really were there to stop assault riffles as they thought they were converting AR-15's to. The FBI ignored that they had a legal gun business and previous cooperation with law enforcement.

It all happened under Bill Clinton and Republicans used that against him, although the public probably didn't need much push. There was quite a political flip to Republican afterwards. The whole disaster was lead by Democrats, newbie Janet Reno gave the go command and many hard to ignore accusations later suggested the first lady pressured US AG Webb Hubbell to push Janet into doing so. The Democrats lambasted any criticism as GOP extremists conspiracy theories for a decade afterwards, "Wakophiles", or something.
