It is election Night 1992. We will be using the coverage I collected that night , mainly, from ABC News, but it will also feature segments from CNN, NBC, and CBS News.

We saved some interesting interviews with political figures like South Carolina Governor Carroll Campbell, and Texas Governor Ann Richards, you will get insights from the leading reporters of the age such as David Brinkley, Peter Jennings, Jeff Greenfield, Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson, Lyn Sherr, Brit Hume, Chris Bury, Bernard Shaw, Judy Woodward, and countless other journalist who made up the best era in the news business.

Finally, we will also see the results come in from the other race, our Host Randal Wallace, was involved with as Ernest Hollings defeats former Congressman Tommy Hartnett to return to Washington in the United States Senate for South Carolina. This is part A in our look at this historic election night and its coverage in 1992.

(In an aside, this episode marks our 356th storyline episode of our podcast, this ties our show with the exact number of original episodes of our childhood favorite show "DALLAS" We are enormously proud of that and to celebrate this milestone we have special hat tip for our favorite all time t.v.

We have finally arrived to the final day on the trail for George H. W. Bush , Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot. It had been an election for the history books, as hard a fought battle as I had ever witnessed in my then short lifetime. You could not have asked for more formidable candidates to face each other than the three men who had shared the national stage together over the past year. Each with enormous strengths and each with well thought out strategies for victory on that first November tuesday.

In this episode we will visit in on the final two rallies of the 1992 election for Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush. We could not find a final rally for Ross Perot as we combed our videos and the internet, so for that we apologize.

What will stand out to our audience we think is the final Bush rally because it will feature for the final time , the old guard of politics and entertainment standing on stage with President Bush in Houston. For many of them this was their final Presidential campaign as the leadership of the nation. The President will be joined by Charlton Heston, Ted Williams, The Gatlin Brothers, Naomi Judd, and the legendary entertainer Bob Hope. The last hoorah for a generation of American leadership in both politics and entertainment.

The next day George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot would face the voters from sea to shining sea.

Few offices in the history of our government have produced more harm, to more people, more often, and more efficiently that the office created in 1973 to investigate the Watergate Scandal. The Special Prosecutor's statute stayed on the books the rest of the 20th century and was used to wound the reelection campaign of George H. W. Bush, and then cripple the final years of the Presidency of Bill Clinton. It has horribly damaged the historical legacies of four United States Presidents: Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.

Ironically, the very party who dreamed this evil institution up, the Democratic Party, was the same one to end it when the statue expired in 1999, but only after it had been effectively used to demolish a President of their own party, even as the Impeachment attempt failed to remove Bill Clinton from office. Then congress invented its bastardized cousin, the Special Counsel statue. While it does have some modest restraints compared to the absolute total powers of the Special Prosecutor's statute, the record of abuse there may not be fully known until our current era, centered around Donald Trump, is over.

As we look back at the 1992 Presidential Election and its controversial end. We thought this the perfect opportunity to show to our listeners the full impact of the 30 years of dishonesty that has been used to devastatingly wound four American Presidencies. But even worse than the damage done to the institution of the Presidency is the personal destruction it has wrought on the innocent aids to these Presidents. Often young men and women, whose only real crime was earnestly wanting to play role in the history of the nation and seize the opportunity so few people get in life, the chance to work for the President of the United States.

Instead, many faced prison time, and were financially wiped out, while the most dastardly, horrible , unethical people you could have ever dreamed up paraded themselves on television and in books as lawyers who champion justice while playing on the trusting nature of a naive public that still believes that our Justice System is the one uncorrupted branch of government left in the land. Here we lay everything out, the abuses of power, and the intentionally corrupt birth of the most evil office our government has ever created. We hope it will serve as a warning for what we have seen in our more modern times, so that perhaps wise heads will see to it that this institution dies, with a stake through its heart. Like this bloodsucking vampire of an institution of division and destruction truly deserves.
