Does Mueller Have an October Surprise?

In the reindictment Walsh included, for the first time, notes from Weinberger's diary that briefly mentioned George Bush's attendance at a meeting that appeared to contradict something Bush had previously said, but not in a way that was meaningful or had any legal significance.

In late October 1992 the polls were tightening dramatically pointing to a Bush victory despite the presence of Ross Perot.

In a suspicious turn of events, on October 28th, Bill Clinton reversed his campaign tactics and began to aggressively accuse George Bush of being an inveterate liar and maliciously untrustworthy.

The Associated Press claimed the indictment "Contradicted President Bush's claim he never knew that arms were being traded for hostages in the Iran-Contra affair or that two Cabinet members were opposed to the deal." In the New York Times, Anthony Lewis pummeled Bush, asking.

"How does George Bush live with the knowledge of his disregard for the truth," The indictment monopolized the news the weekend before Election day, and Bush's upward trend in the polls came to an abrupt end.

Based on his insistence that Trump testify in what is obviously a perjury trap, the innumerable leaks emanating from Mueller's office, the conviction of Paul Manafort on unrelated charges and the coerced guilty plea by Michael Cohen again on unrelated charges, Robert Mueller appears to have a much greater animus toward Donald Trump than Lawrence Walsh toward Ronald Reagan or George Bush.

During the Bush presidency the mainstream media leaned overwhelmingly Democratic 40% of the coverage of George Bush was generally favorable as compared to just 10% with Donald Trump.
