I do recall the Weinberger thing just before the election, and I also recall the “investigation” into whether Bush 41 was involved in the October Surprise—shockingly, Tom Foley announced the investigation closed just after the election Bush lost.
The program closed with: “George Bush is guilty of treason.” I told my boss, “There was no war so no treason. This is ludicrous. You can be sued for running this.” It was 1988. It didn't run.
