How the FBI, CIA, and NYT Collaborated to Sway the 1996 Election
By Jack Cashill

The idea is floated frequently that the still nameless Russian collusion scandal is "worse than Watergate."  It may well be, but that comparison overlooks a more useful parallel.

The gold standard of government conspiracy remains the investigation into the July 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800 off the south coast of Long Island.  The ensuing cover-up involved many of the same players as in the Russia conspiracy and for the same immediate goal: to secure a presidential election for a Clinton.

As with the Russia scandal, not all the collaborators in the TWA 800 case were equally motivated or equally powerful.  The White House drove the conspiracy through its Justice Department.  The CIA executed it without conscience.  The FBI grudgingly yielded to the CIA.  And the New York Times dutifully reported what the FBI whispered in its reporters' ears.

I agree 100% they conspired to cover up the accident.   But how did they conspire to sway the election?

Because, no doubt, the DEMS (Clinton) would not have been reelected, if the public knew that TWA800 was sacrificed in a quid pro quo arrangement with Iran.

hmmm well there is that, guess I hadn't considered it from that angle.
