I understand the necessity for you Liberals to attempt the slander of the finest and most competent President in the last 100 years...so as to mitigate you votes for rapists, and anti-Americans.....
....but what is the 'guilt' you imagine of Ronaldus Maximus?
While not the most corrupt, certainly his administration is near the top in corruption. But he did have a certain truthiness about him didn't he?
This was the exact query....
"...but what is the 'guilt' you imagine of Ronaldus Maximus?"
As you have been unable to answer, one must conclude that there is no such.
With Teflon scrubbers such as yourself it would be an exercise in futility.
But let me ask you this. When he was informed that his trading partner Saddam had launched a Chemical Attack on Kurdish rebels, what action did he take against the regime?
So....when you posted this about the finest and most successful President in a hundred years...
"RayGun is still Teflon. He just didn't know(remember?) what his men were doing."
...we are in agreement that it was simply the usual low-life attempt at a smear by an inveterate Leftist?
Excellent.
He didn't know or didn't remember them telling him.
Care to answer what the Teflon Don did after learning his partner Saddam had just Gassed a Kurdish Village?
I fear that the following elucidation may be well beyond your comprehension, or your willingness to accept....being the Leftist toady that you are....but here are the facts:
- The Iran-Contra scandal involved the sale of arms to Iran, basically to ransom American hostages that Islamic extremists held, and diverting proceeds from the sale to the Contras in Nicaragua. Neither the sale nor the diversions of funds were clear violations of existing laws: subsequent independent counsel investigations directly charged noone with crimes for either the arms sales nor the diversions.
- "... reversal of NSC staff member Oliver North and National Security Adviser John Poindexter’s convictions. The Court of Appeals reversed their convictions because they successfully argued that witnesses in their trials might have been affected by publicized immunized congressional testimony, even though the prosecutors themselves had taken painstaking efforts to avoid encountering information about the hearings."
[The parallel investigation by Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh secured criminal convictions of nearly a dozen senior administration officials and private citizens for acts such as perjury, conspiracy, fraud, and the destruction of evidence.

- Two points should be made clear. The Democrat Congress was strongly in favor of the communists of Nicaragua, and the scandal was an attempt to tie the hands of the President, who was strongly anti-communist. And, two, congressional attempts to conduct foreign policy were, at the very least, constitutionally dubious. Reagan often complained that it was not possible to carry out foreign policy with 535 secretaries of state in Congress.
- See Locke’s “Second Treatise of Government,” the primary inspiration for the Declaration of Independence, for the nature of the prerogative in the executive branch. He defined it as “nothing but the power of doing public good without a rule.” John Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government: Chapter 11 and “ Indeed, it is appropriate that the laws themselves should in some cases give way to the executive power,…” http://www.thevrwc.org/Locke/chapter14.html

Your post was simply the usual low-life attempt at a smear by an inveterate Leftist, the usual smear tactic of the Left.
True?
