Day 32 of the Waco Standoff

March 31,1993
Pursuant to the instructions of the Attorney General, Mark Richard of the Criminal Division, accompanied by departmental and FBI supervisors, held several meetings in Waco and San Antonio. The meetings were held with SAC Jamar, AUSA Johnston, Texas Rangers supervisors, and U.S. Attorney Ederer in an attempt to determine the reasons for the coordination problems and to make recommendations to the Attorney General.
A fourth meeting between Koresh and DeGuerin took place from 9:35 a.m. until 12:10 p.m. A fifth meeting took place between 3:07 and 6:05 p.m.
After this last meeting, DeGuerin spoke with SAC Jamar. DeGuerin appeared to be frustrated with the negotiation efforts. He told Jamar that for every issue he resolved, Koresh would bring up a new one. DeGuerin also said that at one point, when
it appeared that Koresh was about to make a serious commitment to surrender, he (Koresh) appeared to "pass out." A few moments later, he regained his composure and diverted the conversation away from surrender. DeGuerin stated that he was unable to get any commitments from Koresh.
It was agreed that DeGuerin would try again the next day.

(The Myth: The Texas Rangers, the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys all disagreed with one another. This proves that Koresh didn’t do anything wrong!)

[The Truth: Yeah, I’ve heard this bullshit before. The Texas Rangers thought it was okay to shoot the police. [Snort.] They ‘disagreed’ on procedural matters. NOT that Vernon and his followers should come out of the compound with their hands up right fucking NOW.]
