She died due to complications of Parkinson's disease at 78.

RIP Janet Reno.

Its called reporting the facts.

The effort is worthy in and of itself. Are you not tired of biased media? Well here is some media that simply is what it is. Makes a nice change, does it not?

My big sister was her head administrator,before sister retired she was an agent handled all cases,but poor Janet Reno didn't age well,my sister is 70 looks 35,must be the genes

Tell your sister I am sorry for her loss.

I can only say: This year. What next? The first woman to serve as attorney general passes on the day before what may be the first woman to serve as president could be elected. I'm skeptical of the importance of synchronicities, but 2016 has just been crazy. Even I have to admit that.

Also, not to moralize, and everyone's words are their prerogative, but I hope people's comments can be restrained and respectful irrespective of political feelings. Call me old fashioned, but I still believe in respect for the dead, even those we disagree with. (Applies to the living as well.)

Peace.

Forgive me for not mourning a woman who most probably was part of those that caused the death of possibly thousands, unbenounced to the many.

She represented a Government that stole and lied and cheated to the entire Country.

That to me is unforgivable.

I have to say I was a bit surprised to hear this on the radio this morning. I had one of those Mandella Effects with this one. Could have swore she passed awhile back. Wondering if anyone else thought so too. Or remembers that?

Did Janet Reno know too much, if a Trump presidency did some investigation into say... Waco, etc?

Or could she have been in the way during a Clinton presidency, so something had to be done before it was too obvious later?

Or (I know - even a bigger stretch) - what if the thought of serving under Hillary Clinton was more than her poor old heart could bear?

I know - she was 78.
Just makes me wonder. Too many strange coincidences.

Oh well. Couldn't stand the woman. Just as corrupt as the rest of them. She was so manly she bled flannel.

She was 78 and battling a disease.

It makes no matter that tomorrow is Election Day as her story was over...

I'm surprised someone hasn't floated a "she knew too much" story yet..oh wait.... 😈

Yeah i know right....

Stupid Crap they shove in our faces just in time for the Elections...

I hope people are awake enough to vote responsibly this time.

Most of the people who Voted for Obama are voting soon,,, this scares the sh't out of me and millions more.

Good... She was another one who does not belong here on Earth. Good riddance and hopefully she is now answering for her crimes.

No loss NOW lets get rid of THIS one too.

I wouldn't wish Parkinsons on my worst enemy.

Tomorrow will be soon enough to vilify, should that be your wish, today how about we wish the family well?

Or is that too much to ask of some of you?

The skits Will Ferrell use to do on her put him on the map. I remember Waco like it was yesterday being a kid. Horrifying those people burning alive. They could have did it more low key and waited for him to leave. Ruined the rest of her life. That's what happens when people are made the authority on something they have little knowledge about. Sure she was not a bad person but that is what she will be remembered for unfortunately. RIP.

Because you like me have a good heart.

You hate injustice but you are forgiving.

You are a good kind soul.

You're right, we should pay our respects.

those who pass over are happier there, we should learn to smile more when someone passes over, it could be me next week.
