That's not why he was in the 92 election.

He was in the 92 election to stop Bush from releasing info that would have not only taken out Bill Clinton, but pretty much have wiped out the dem party.

Reno fired the Us Attorneys to cover up that info.

Perot was in the 96 election because Clinton had threatened to release the same info on the dems if they did not support him.

Clinton then threatened to release the info again during his impeachment if the dems did not support him. it was refereed to as The Scorched Earth Policy.

The Bush family was convinced it was pure revenge. Afterward, W. concluded that the third-party bid cost his father the presidency. (Perot took nineteen percent of the vote.)
