These idiots are so desperate to bring down Trump they dig up Reagan and Nixon. Its so pathetic.
This item is factually incorrect.
The Boland Amendment applied to U.S. intelligence agencies that received appropriations through Congress. The Reagan administration set up the Iran-Contra affair as a National Security Council operation specifically because it was NOT covered under the Boland Amendment. In fact, the Boland Amendment was drafted in the first place because Congress would not approve a total, comprehensive ban on funding the Contras in Nicaragua.
Interestingly, there were serious questions about the constitutionality of the Boland Amendment at the time -- but they were never subject to court challenges because nobody was ever prosecuted for violating it. Congress explicitly made violations of this legislation a civil matter, not a criminal one.
The CIA tried to take out Reagan on Iran Contra.
The Deep State has been working against the GOP since before Nixon.
In their reckless haste to out DJT they uncovered corruption all right, it was just their own corruption.
No bias in that article. No siree
Brady Bunch.
I have no doubt Reagan was behind funding the Contras, and I applaud him for doing so. The Democrats at that time were trying to fund and acting as the propaganda machine for the communist Sandinistas.
