-Caveat Lector- http://www.reagan.com/HotTopics.main/HotMike/document-8.6.1997.3.html ATF Agents Accused of Threatening Witness to Suppress Evidence of Davidians Legal Gun Business JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATING KORESH'S GUN DEALER'S CHARGES AGAINST ATF AGENTS From: Carol Moore - Waco Justice Committee After ATF's brutal February 28, 1993 attack on the Davidians, Henry McMahon, David Koresh's gun dealer, would have happily told the FBI and the press that the Davidians' large purchases were for legitimate business purposes and not part of some nefarious cultist gun plot. That is why on March 1, 1993 ATF agents spirited him and his girlfriend Karen Kilpatrick away from their new home in Florida, claiming Davidians were coming to kill them. Once ATF got them to McMahon's father's in Oregon, ATF agents threatened to destroy McMahon's gun business if he spoke out. McMahon recorded the calls. ATF brought them back to Texas a few weeks later and ATF agents Davy Aguilera and Dale Littleton threatened to have them prosecuted for conspiracy if they did not waive their rights and speak to agents. Littleton pushed Kilpatrick up against a wall. This is certainly worse than what the FBI did to Richard Jewell! McMahon and Kilpatrick originally spoke with the NRA, which later lost interest in their case, and they could not raise enough money to file a civil suit against ATF and its agents within the statute of limitations. They contacted Senator Spector who was going to call them for hearings last fall against ATF. He then canceled the hearings because ATF was doing such a "good job" investigating church burnings. However, Spector did support McMahon and Kilpatrick when they filed a complaint with the Department of Justice (through their local prosecutors) against the ATF agents. They recently were interviewed by the FBI and have been told by Justice Department attorneys they have a very prosecutable case against the ATF agents. In fact, the case may go before a grand jury. Unfortunately, the Washington and major press have not yet picked up on this story, something sure to make the always-reluctant Justice Department find some excuse for not bring this abuse of citizens' rights to a grand jury. So feel free to get this story out to whatever press you know. Have them contact me for the McMahon's phone number. They are happy to tell their story. (Note: McMahon and Kirkpatrick have a web page ( www.dmi.net/waco/) but no e-mail address. Also note: McMahon likes to correct the oft-made assertion he was a Class III gun dealer in the state of Texas, which he was not. He was previously a Class Dealer in another state.) -- ----------------------- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.
