Not as good as Gonzales, who did more to undermine the Rule of Law than anyone else.

Or what>>In Miami, where Janet Reno served as the state attorney for Dade County, she had a reputation of losing the big ones. If the truth be known, she lost the small ones as well. Her department brought just 2% of all felony defendants to trial, which was the worst record in Florida. Furthermore, she lost 40% of those cases that did go to trial. Her ratio of arrests to actual incarceration in Dade County was 30:1. The state attorney for neighboring Broward County, during that same time period, had a record of 10:1. However, it may have been Reno's reluctance to indict or prosecute corrupt public officials that may have made this woman irresistible to Bill Clinton.

She provided some great comedy skits for SNL and Will Ferrel.
She proved to be a pretty stand-up person by doing a cameo during one of the "Janet Reno Dance Party" skits.

Janet Reno was a good Attorney General but I am not sure if I consider her as a great Attorney General.

Great Attorney General or what? I'll take the "What" She had innocent children killed at Waco and Ruby Ridge. No she wasn't a great attorney general. She sucked!

Janet Reno fits in the 'or what' category.

Waco was a complete success. Got the Davidians. Right? The word "Incompetent" springs from my lips.

Great? Does anyone remember the Waco Incident? The Randy Weaver Incident? The abuses of the BATF?

No, she believed the line of BS the ATF was handing her and ordered the massacre at Waco. On her head FOREVER.

She was a horrible AG and not because she was a democrat but because she was incompetent and unethical.Alberto may have been in over his head but anyone who supported her has no room to talk about him.
