Reyna fires assistant who gave FBI information on DA

WacoTrib by Tommy Witherspoon 6/19/2018

McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna on Tuesday fired prosecutor Amanda Dillon, the last of Reyna’s remaining employees who provided information to the FBI during its investigation of Reyna.

Dillon, who worked as an assistant district attorney for almost eight years, confirmed that Reyna and First Assistant District Attorney Robert Moody called her into Reyna’s office Tuesday afternoon and fired her.

When she asked for grounds for the dismissal, Dillon said Reyna only responded, “It’s all documented.” Reyna then had Dillon escorted from the DA’s office by one of his investigators, she said. Reyna did not return the Tribune-Herald’s calls seeking comment.

Dillon said she will meet soon with civil attorneys to discuss a possible whistleblower lawsuit against Reyna. Former Reyna assistants Greg Davis and Michael Jarrett and longtime office manager Julissa Contreras met with an FBI agent in August 2014 to discuss what they alleged was Reyna’s penchant for giving favorable treatment to his friends and financial supporters. Davis described the result as a two-tiered justice system.

I have long wondered how the Mt. Carmel thing could have gone as bad as it did.  With people who think and act like Reyna, I can see how it did.

Reyna wasn't but Swanton was:

The Aging Rebel

Waco Prosecutor Fires Last Friend

Yesterday afternoon, McLennan County, Texas District Attorney Abelino Reyna fired Assistant District Attorney Amanda Lee Dillon.

Over the last three years, Reyna has been repeatedly portrayed in public documents and reports as a corrupt, self-absorbed, bully and demagogue who was being investigated for corruption by the Federal Bureau of Investigation at the time of the Twin Peaks Mass Murder on May 17, 2015. Yesterday’s firing hardly rehabilitated his reputation. It didn’t seem to serve any purpose other than to demonstrate Reyna’s reflexive cruelty.

Dillon, a 38-year-old mother married to a United States Marshal, always seemed like an unlikely co-conspirator for a corrupt politician. She came from a sheltered and pious background. She attended the pricey and provincial Lake Country Christian School in Fort Worth which requires its students to perform public service. She graduated from Abilene Christian University where she attended chapel daily and took several courses about the Bible. She went to law school at Baylor and worked as a prosecutor in Smith County, Texas before moving back to Waco.

Amanda Dillon as far as Harry is concerned is     more of a man than Abel Reyna will ever be and   more of a woman than he will ever have.
