Iran Contra, easily the gravest presidential scandal in American history

No, the gravest presidential scandal in American history is the intentional and premeditated delivery of half of Europe to Stalin and all of China to "so-called Communist" and "agrarian reformer" Mao. A scandal that Truman was, thankfully, unable to weather, and for which he rightfully received the lowest approval rating ever recorded for a president.

I do have to hand it to the Left for completely erasing the FDR/Truman administration's intentional delivery of a billion people into the hands of genocidal maniacs from official history (although it all remains in the public record), while directing our attention to the real scandal: as many as several dozen especially enthusiastic members of the Josef Stalin Fan Club, almost all provably (2) NKVD treasonists, suffered temporary minor career setbacks as a result of the overwhelming public outrage.* Tens of millions of corpses - nothing to see here.

*The real scandal is, cleverly, always referenced without mentioning the context. In the early 1950s, America was, for mysterious reasons difficult to divine, overcome with hysteria! Probably because they were so sexist and racist back then.

The CIA funding some rather minor operations against the Nicaraguan branch of the Josef Stalin Fan Club doesn't really compare in terms of being morally outrageous. (What do you think the CIA does, anyway? Get real).
