I wouldn't be so sure. Republicans have an uncanny way of "falling in line" no matter how contentious or repulsive the issue.

See my post on 'coordination.' Republican coordination appears to have been immediate and nearly absolute.

BS. It ties to footnote 83.

BS. The answer to the question "What did Don find that the Tower Commission invsetigation didn't?" is "More of nothing."

BTW, why does your machine let you post BS, all caps, at the beginning of a sentence, while mine doesn't?

Reagan maintained plausible deniability with regard to Iran-Contra despite the fact that 14 people around him were charged with crimes for implementing his directive to his NSA, Robert McFarlane, to "to do whatever you have to do to help these people (the Contras) keep body and soul together," despite the Boland Amendment specifically prohibiting it.
Your choice to deny Reagan's complicity (either by directing action or by deliberately maintaining plausible deniability of the illegal activities of large numbers of his close staff) can only be attributed to a desire to maintain the conservative hagiography surrounding Reagan. When fourteen people around the President are charged with crimes in this affair, I prefer to go with the notion that the buck stops with the President. YMMV.

Do you have auto-correct on? Mine always gives me issues when I try to type "cc" at the end of a letter. It wants "Cc"
