A lot is being made of the Comey announcement and the left says it is
unprecedented but that is just not true. In 1992, when Bill was
running against HW, they dropped a bomb about Iran Contra (an
additional indictment on Weinberger) right before the election and
Bill pounced on it.
The ironic thing is shortly after the election, the indictment was
tossed because the statute of limitations had run out.
This may have just been a democrat 102d congress (both houses) running
amok.
