When US President George HW Bush a "Smoking Gun ", the kneecap damage in 1992, politically, His White house Challenger, Bill Clinton , The British government has delved into its files, wanted, information. So, have the Bush -camp advertise help foreign interference, to win Him a choice - the accusation has seen The President accused Trump?

"A guy like that does not deserve to be President," said President Bush told His sister about Clinton .

He looked at the young Arkansas Governor who was the same age as Bush 's eldest son, as a rogue and was sure he could roll over Him

But The President painfully Clinton , an adversary of the gifted politically in a way that His ascent to the White house had the foresight to know when he at the age of seven by His teacher. underestimated

Bush 's mystification, His saxophone-tootling challenger popularity in the opinion polls was to avoid defying the gravity of the revelations about His design past.

The Republican, a decorated World War 2 Fighter Pilot , dictated to His diary: "I'm tired of this guy, tugging at the design and does not come Clean . "

Bush had a different Problem - His campaign was so stale as the recession drained the US economy.

So he turned for inspiration across The Atlantic to His friend, The British Prime Minister John Major .

The British Prime Minister -come-from-behind to win the General Election in April 1992, was touted by American conservatives as a blueprint for the US President.

Bush had shown a very special relationship with the Major, His brother-in-arms from the Gulf War in 1990-91, as already, in the transcripts of their private conversations.

He said once send Him a "Love Letter " and assured The British Prime Minister , "obviously, we are there For You to beat rooting" Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock .

Major, critics suspected, returned the favor.

Two British Tory panjandrums - the architect of the PM-surprise-Victory - focus flew to Washington-eight weeks before the U.S. Election , and advised the Bush team's attacks on Clinton 's character.

The President , The Campaign hired an opposition research experts to dig for dirt in the United Kingdom.

What then happened was either a bureaucratic glitch, or an outrageous act of political interference by the UK in the internal politics of a friendly nation.

sometime in the early October 1992, the Home Office inspects His immigration nationality section, to see if Clinton had applied for British citizenship, while at Oxford University from 1968-70 on the run from the Vietnam draft.

Briefing reporters background, the said Department, its "comprehensive" review of "louder helpfulness" to the media, although it is usually not fired journalists answer the warehouse that it is discussing individual cases.

Nothing compromising was discovered in the Democrat, however, remains an open question how such a political bomb that had been dug up, had been dealt with from Whitehall.

in the same month, a frustrated Bush dictate His diary, would not that "we get that Smoking Gun on Clinton ".

More on US presidentsAll Great could Him recovery wishes.

The British Prime Minister called Bush on Air Force One during The Last burst of the Election campaign Two Days before the November Election .

"I wanted to wish you a big Hooray and all my best for the finish line," Major said, according to a transcript of their conversation at the Bush presidential library in Texas.

But support has had a beating on the wrong Horse - Clinton -Bush .

return to the White house A Day after he lost, the humiliated one-term President, grew up emotionally, according to biographer Jon Meacham .

Bush dictated to His diary that he thought: "How in God's name, This Country has a draft selects dodger?"

A month later, when the Home Office confirmed to the public after the implementation of the file check, the victorious Clinton made no secret of His annoyance.

"you have more urgent business should be," he told The British officials that when asked about the controversy during a morning jog in Little Rock, Arkansas.

the same day, the 6. In December 1992, Major wrote a letter of apology to the US President-elect.

According to a copy of The Correspondence , released only last year from the UK National archives, The British premier said he was "troubled by the reports that have appeared on requests from our Home Office connection back to your time in Oxford".

"I'm sorry," the Major, "that it was played until Now , in a roguish kind of way. I hope that the nonsense will be short-lived. "

There is no indication that Clinton responded.

a month Later, Major visit, flew to Washington on an official work. He had hoped to mend fences with The President -elect during the journey.

But Clinton refused to meet Him - the Washington Post described it as a snub.

Through the so-called special relationship on ice, labour MPs jeered the Prime Minister in The House of Commons in February 1993, when he refused to side with in a US Election .

Margaret Beckett , the opposition, the Deputy Chairman, was among the members of the Parliament, shook His head, skeptical of the Big statement.

"no, I don't buy it as a" member of Parliament for Derby South, the BBC is told, remember, That Day in The Chamber 27.

"I thought, at least it must be a nod and a wink [between the US and the UK].

Bush and Clinton in the picture with the Big (L) on the Russian President, Boris Yeltsin , the 2007 Funeral of a friendship, the wink after leaving the office, "And probably a bit More Than a nod and an eye began," if you find something, George [H. W. Bush ] would be more grateful'.

"Because they [the Home Office -search records] seemed to me like the kind of thing most of the officials, would rather do it carefully. "

Whosever idea it was, Beckett said it was "pretty big mistake".

In a statement to the BBC, Great - Now a knight of the Empire, refused the approval of the Home-Office-file-search.

His spokesperson, Mrs Arabella Warburton, says: "Sir John has, in fact, a close and personal relationship with President George HW Bush .

"But, Sir John, neither sanctioned, nor had any prior knowledge, the Home Office , controls on the George Bush Presidential rivals Bill Clinton . "

no one in the Bush camp set UK official digging for those skeletons go in the closet in Clinton , stressed Charles Black, a senior adviser to The President , the re-Election bid.

"I'm pretty sure no one asked in The Campaign about," he tells the BBC.

"you did not come up in the meetings that I have with the [UK] Conservative, so maybe someone in the [U.S.] government. "

The two top Tory apparatchiks, who flew to Washington, Sir John Lacy , Mark full brook. Lacy died in the year 2009 and the full brook declined to comment to the BBC.

James Pinkerton, who is deputy assistant to Bush and had worked in The Campaign , thinks that His former boss' hands were Clean .

"Bush was an ethical, honest guy," he tells the BBC, "and if you said to Him , do we do a dirty trick to help them win, he would have said, no. "

But despite His reputation for courtesy and decency, "The Last Gentleman " - like Bush -admirers call Him - have not always attach to The Ideal of noblesse oblige.

In His political life, he was fully prepared to fight to win dirty, as evidenced by the infamous race-baiting attacks he launched in the year 1988 on tar, then-Democratic Challenger, Massachusetts Governor, Michael Dukakis , as soft on crime.

Bush effectively accused His rival for the torture and rape of a white couple with a black perpetrator, Willie Horton , had failed to return to prison after they were on a weekend release program.

And as Ronald Reagan 's Deputy Bush blatantly lied, than to insist that he was "out of The Loop " to act on the administration of the secret effort arms with Iran for hostages in violation of their own policy.

"I Am one of The Few people who know The Details ," the Vice-President of His diary had been entrusted.

George Herbert Walker Bush - who died a year ago, at the age of 94 - was a competitive man.

In 1980, just as His dream of capturing the Republican presidential nomination began to Slip Away in The Wake of the defeat to Reagan in New Hampshire , Bush penned a revealing note to a flight.

"I'LL NEVER give up. NEVER. NEVER," said scribble into fat. He gave three months later.

Sidney Blumenthal , a historian and former Clinton White House aide, told the BBC that "of course", the Home Office files search was conducted at the behest of The British government, In Cahoots with team Bush .

He noted that former Bush chief of staff James Baker , who declined to speak to the BBC for this article - said in a 1992 memo" - quoted recently by the New York Times that the commander-in-chief would not have recruited the UK with the help of His campaign.
