Show me the time line.What Amendment did Reagan violate? How did he go against Congress on inauguration day. Are you drunk so early in the day?Why would Trump fail when Reagan got them to fold on inauguration day?They think Trump will scare them into doing what he demands........
Because Regan went against Congress and an Amendment he signed himself and disregarded the Constitution you all claim to love so much. So, what is Trump going to do for Iran?
Oh, and the last statement bolded in red....you all have the audacity to be whining about Hillary's e-mails......
Wiki:
The Iran–Contra affair (Persian: ایران-کنترا, Spanish: caso Irán-Contra), also referred to as Irangate,[1] Contragate[2] or the Iran–Contra scandal, was a political scandal in the United States that occurred during the second term of the Reagan Administration. Senior administration officials secretly facilitated the sale of arms to Iran, which was the subject of an arms embargo.[3] They hoped thereby to secure the release of several US hostages, and to fund the Contras in Nicaragua. Under the Boland Amendment, further funding of the Contras by the government had been prohibited by Congress.
The investigation was impeded when large volumes of documents relating to the scandal were destroyed or withheld from investigators by Reagan administration officials.
And, as usual, Republicans continue to against the will of the people of the United States.
Although the President continued to favor support of the contras, opinion polls indicated that a majority of the public was not supportive.

Do you have trouble reading? I posted the Wiki explanation for you. Reagan was wheeling and dealing before election day, and negotiating with terrorists....something the GOP accuses Obama of doing when clearly he's not, but hypocritical because Reagan did negotiate with terrorists and the GOP looked the other way.
Here it is again....have someone explain it to you.
