Flashback: Clinton cheered 11th hour indictment that doomed Bush re-election

Whispers of "payback" are being directed at Hillary Clinton after she decried as "unprecedented" the surprise FBI revival of its probe of her email scandal.

That's because 24 years ago, as former President George H.W. Bush was surging back against challenger Bill Clinton, a special prosecutor raised new charges against Bush in the Iran-Contra probe, prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a "culture of corruption."

Many Republicans claimed that the indictment made by special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh against former Reagan-era Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger the weekend before the 1992 election cost Bush a second term. The indictment, later thrown out, challenged Bush's claim that he did not know about a controversial arms-for-hostages deal that dogged the Reagan-Bush administration.

When it came, Clinton seized on it, saying for example, "Secretary Weinberger's note clearly shows that President Bush has not been telling the truth when he says he was out of the loop." Clinton added, "It demonstrates that President Bush knew and approved of President Reagan's secret deal to swap arms for hostages."

How curious that Judge Jeannine said last night, that she had an FBI investigation put on her when running for Senate in 2006 vs. Clinton. Jeannine said it hurt her chances. And still JJ did not approve of this incident of the FBI announcing this.

So one abuse of prosecutorial discretion excuses another abuse of prosecutorial discretion?

Judge Jeannine also made it clear and I think many think this, Clinton should have been indicted months ago; that whole thing is unpalatable.

Karma, baby. 

And let us never forget the 700-900 FBI files on Republicans opposed to the Clintons that the Clintons had illegally in their possession during the Clintonista Era.  The list of scandals and unexplained deaths connected to them grows larger, even today.  Which leads one to wonder if we really have already become a banana republic....with Hillary as our Eva Peron.
