Gunther Karl Russbacher
Wilcher was working daily for Russbacher and wanted to ask Janet Reno, the new Attorney General, to grant immunity from prosecution to Russbacher so that he might testify to the government about activities inside the CIA.
Gunther Karl Russbacher was a client of attorney Paul Wilcher. Wilcher believed Russbacher to be a political prisoner, persecuted because he allegedly flew former President George H.W. Bush to Paris to meet with leading Iranians to make a deal to supply Iran with weapons in exchange for that government keeping the 52 American hostages until after the November election, ensuring Ronald Reagan's victory. The deal was that the hostages would be delivered to Ronald Reagan as soon as Reagan was inaugurated in 1981. This came to be known as the October Surprise.1
