yes the swamp did exist and I believe Oliver north was part of the swamp back in the 1980s ….either we are country of laws that are obeyed by our bureaucrats or we are not....just because I liked one or two aspect of what the guy was up to does not mean that he was not dirty... Oliver North is just part of the Swamp that was in republican hands when he was in Washington. the swamp is a bi-Partison problem. I don’t believe the republicans have as many Swamp creatures as the demacrat have but they are there and are a problem.
According to the logic that you are using if I agree with what they are doing they are patriots if I don’t agree with what they are doing they are swamp creatures.
according to me a swamp creature is a bureaucrat that oversteps his mandate of action within the buracracy and starts enacting policy that has no legitimacy. legitimacy is given for actions by either executive direction from the president or by laws passed by the legislature.
the destruction of records by Oliver north are only legitimate if he was directed to do so by congressional law or if directed by the executive branch....according to the law those records were destroyed ilegally

Wrong. He was fighting the Swamp, he was targeted by those in Congress who were on the side of Daniel Ortega.
North shredded documents to protect others that had joined him in fighting the Sandinistas, covering for them from being railroaded by enemies holding office in Congress.
Hillary Clinton shredded documents and deleted files to protect all those in her circle of corruption who like her hated the United States.
Big difference in motives.
I don’t judge but you do. I never said North didn’t deserve prison, I said people that don’t know the facts in a war situation should stand on the sidelines and STFU.
That goes for you.
I notice you had nothing to say about the Clintons in the subject of this thread who were up to their eyeballs in Mena corruption but you had plenty to say about Oliver North who had nothing to do with Mena.
Nice try trolling. You flamed out.
