Lawrence Walsh, the Iran-Contra special prosecutor, died two days ago at the age of 102. American liberals adored Walsh in life and now sing hosannas to him in death.
“Lawrence E.

Me too.
They are scum. Lawrence Walsh included.
You mean the good old 'days' when the Washington establishment set out to use any means necessary - legal or illegal - to destroy any individual that stood between them and the tyranny they have planned for us?
Because justice was the last thing Walsh and the Iran Contra Affair were about.
Well, now the establishment will do anything to circle the wagons.
Remember, when Bush II came in, they got rid of the Special Counsel thing and both sides cheered. I knew that was ominous.
I can’t remember a time when justice was a priority where DC policing itself was concerned. Its alway been politics first.
