Reagan ... illegally violates US policy set in place by Congress and funnels aid to the terrorist state of Iran. That's not bad or anything ... sure. Oh wait, let us not forget Reagan lying to the nation ... claiming he had no knowledge of these dealings, only to have it come out that he DID in fact (that info was acquired from his personal diaries). Reagan went on tv and had to apologize!
Wait a moment, as President could, under the law, make the determination if arms should be sold to Iran. Now, you can disagree with that decision (and I did/do), but there was nothing illegal in it. The problem, and the scandel, came from what happened from the profits of those sales. There is a record, and an admission at the time, that Reagan
did authorize those sales, but that wasn't illegal. Extremely bad, yes, but not illegal.
No entrapment; I would have been supportive of Clinton had he revealed the affair, when asked under
oath.
