Filmmaker: Trail of Waco Documents Leads To First Lady's Office

The Drudge Report
Sunday, August 29, 1999

Hillary Clinton's office was on the receiving end of documents relating to April 1993 siege at Waco!

That was the startling claim made by WACO filmmaker Michael McNulty this weekend.

"Let's look at the chain of command in the series of events [on April 19th]," McNulty said during an interview aired this weekend on FOX NEWS CHANNEL's DRUDGE.

"And the trail goes from Waco to the Justice Department. Well, actually, first to the FBI headquarters, and then from there, across the street, literally across the street to the Justice Department into Mr. Webb Hubbell's ears and out Mr. Hubbell's mouth to Mr. Foster in the White House.

McNulty, whose first film WACO: RULES OF ENGAGEMENT was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, continued: "And then we find the trail of documents that we'll be talking about more later that leads to one place, and that's the first lady's office."

Why would Hillary Rodham Clinton's office have been on the receiving end of documents relating to the Waco siege?

What was First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's role in Waco, if any? McNulty refused to elaborate on his discovery.

[One source close to the situation tells the DRUDGE REPORT that at least 3 documents removed from Vince Foster's office the night he died pertained to Waco.]

For years, McNulty accused the government of lying about its actions during the seven-week confrontation with Branch Davidians that ended in fiery tragedy.

Finally last week, after years of denials, McNulty was vindicated when the government admitted that it did use pyrotechnic devices the day the compound burned down, killing David Koresh and about 80 followers. The Justice Department was forced to modify its claims after McNulty found physical evidence to the contrary. The evidence one pyrotechnic shell and a photograph of another shell that had been misidentified will be featured in the Fort Collins, Colo., resident's second film WACO: A NEW REVELATION, to be released this fall.

"Getting answers is satisfying, but it will be much more satisfying when the people who are responsible are in prison," McNulty told the ASSOCIATED PRESS in an interview. "All of this is not about Mike McNulty, or the films that have been done, or about selling the films. It's about finding the truth."
