Oh yeah, the justice department was told not to pursue a contempt charge by President Reagan, their boss.
>>...under President Reagan the justice department declined to pursue a contempt of congress prosecution. If the article were correct and President Bush was ordering the Justice department not to pursue a contempt of congress referral against him that would be different.
Obviously i have no idea what President Reagan told the JP in private but at least he had the good sense not to announce he was ordering them kill the investigation of himself.
