Perhaps the truth may "out": newsmax.com Specter Is Considering LaBella For Job in Probe of Justice Dept. Associated Press Thursday, September 23, 1999; Page A16 Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), whom Republican senators have proposed as head of a task force to be charged with investigating the Justice Department's actions in controversies ranging from the Branch Davidian siege to alleged espionage at nuclear weapons labs, is considering hiring Charles LaBella as his chief investigator. LaBella had quit the department after conducting its probe of campaign fund-raising abuses--disagreeing with Attorney General Janet Reno's decision not to seek an independent counsel for the 1996 campaign finance investigation. Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), who said Specter mentioned the possibility of hiring LaBella, added: "On the positive side, he knows where all the skeletons are. On the negative side, it could send a signal that there is a preconceived notion about the FBI and the Justice Department." In the Waco aspect of the potential probe, Specter already has run into trouble. Former senator John C. Danforth (R-Mo.), the special counsel appointed by Reno to investigate a possible government coverup, complained Tuesday that investigators for Specter had traveled to Waco, Tex., earlier this month "without even troubling to give me a call."
