What if Ross Perot had not dropped out and gotten back in and instead stayed in the race the whole time and had gotten elected? How would he have handled the 1993 Waco siege? Would it have ended the way it did in OTL?
The ATF and FBI made the key decisions at Waco, not the President.
David Koresh gets taken down in the near future for his....cravings for the underage.
That misfire started the entire shootout with ATF agents thinking they were under fire and shooting at the compound and the Branch Davidians shooting back thinking the ATF was there to murder them and thus unwilling to cooperate further.
If I recall correctly, that whole 'the ATF was there to murder them' was based on a previous lethal shootout with an anti-gov back woods survivor type where one or more people were killed by gov shooters.
Have Pres. Perot issue a executive order and close down the ATF and give the dept's responsibility to the FBI. In OTL there were on going Congressional hearing to do just that. Some think the Waco raid was a publicity stunt by the ATF to forestall their closing down and get more funding.
