Memo from FBI Assistant Deputy Director Danny Coulson regarding the assault plan (Page 56):

Something to Consider
1. Charge against Weaver is Bull S___.
2. No one saw Weaver do any shooting.
3. Vicki has no charges against her.
4. Weaver's defense. He ran down the hill to see what dog was barking at. Some guys in camys [camouflage] shot his dog. Started shooting at him. Killed his son. Harris did the shooting. He is in pretty strong legal position.

I'm like, so you know you're doing something wrong!

This is the official reports of the hearings into an episode in American History, not far past, that our government should be ashamed of.
