WASHINGTON (AP) -- The "vast, right-wing conspiracy" is back, presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is warning, using a phrase she once coined to describe partisan plotting.
Once derided for her use of the phrase, Clinton is now trying to turn the imagery to her advantage.
Speaking Tuesday to Democratic municipal officials, the New York senator used the term to hammer Republicans on election irregularities.
She also used the phrase similarly during a campaign appearance over the weekend in New Hampshire.
Clinton was first lady when she famously charged allegations of an affair between her then-president husband Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky were the result of a conservative conspiracy.
As evidence of the affair eventually came to light, the comment was ridiculed.But many Democrats have since insisted that Clinton was correct, pointing to the well-documented efforts by conservative financier Richard Mellon Scaife to fund a network of anti-Clinton investigations.
On Tuesday, she asserted the conspiracy is alive and well, and cited as proof the Election Day 2002 case of phone jamming in New Hampshire, a case in which two Republican operatives pleaded guilty to criminal charges, and a third was convicted.

What is VRWC?
Sure, Hillary. ~The VRWC and alien autopsies right along with Bigfoot and certain solitary vices cause blindness.
All we need is President Paranoia in control of the Justice Department.
It seems to me that this is a big mistake on her part. It's living in the past, and it reminds everyone of bill and monica. Hardly anyone is going to remember the designated villain of that time, Richard Mellon Scaife, who seems in any case to have repented of his conservative days.
CNN tries to make the best of it, but it's pretty tough sledding for them.
Thanks for the links. It can be frustrating when every news outlet uses a different title for AP stories.
If the VRWC goes "Booga Booga" and she gets ticked, how will she deal with all the real bad guys around the world? Guys like the nutcase in Iran, Putin, Chavez, et al.
Stupid twit! Didn't she get the Dem memo?
Democrats WON, and according to them, WON BIG!!!!!
Who forgot to tell Saint Hillary?
Go Away Hillary!
BOO!
LMAO!
They are a bunch of very scared people, mostly scared that others think other thoughts, hold different ideas, and this country's largest flaw is that it ALLOWS people to hold these "different/wrong" ideas.
So Hillary and her crew, whose party emblem should be Munch's The Scream, promote fear to gain power to conquer the source of their fear--the very individuality we all prize.
She must be stopped, and I will vote for whoever opposes her.
Ah, the VRWC... Doncha y'all wish there REALLY was one ? ;-)
Yes, she's getting horrible advice, or worse, coming up with this herself! I just saw the clip, and she sounds stupid......and I'm trying to be objective.
So how does she characterize the RAT politician relatives in Milwakke convited to REPUB Bus etc. tire slashing so they could not help get people to the polls. Those thugs were convicted as I recall in a state where the vote was exceptionally close.
This woman is seriously unstable.
