6. And again in 82, in 83, and in 84 - but who is counting?
Congress allows money to be spent on a given item. Reagan stole the money and lied to Congress.

Add in a wag-the dog war that folks died for so that Reagan could kill the bad PR from the 300 dead in Lebanon, and you have quite a case - if the media was not controlled by the GOP

Indeed impeachment articles were part of the Iran-Contra committee's game plan - until the media made clear that they would protect Reagan (now we are told the Congress liked Reagan so much that they dropped the articles of impeachment - only a few weeks after they agreed it was to be part of the investigation - want to buy a bridge?)
