They got even worse after Watergate, and that’s before W and Taco.
Iran/Contra was way worse than Watergate, and it was soft-pedaled like you would not believe, because “something something the nation has to heal after all the drama of the 60s/70s, we just had Vietnam and race riots and all these assassinations and Watergate and the Church Committee and why can’t we just think about nice things and sweep this under the rug for the sake of moving forward to sunnier days?” or some such bullshit like that.
Ronnie Raygun had the most criminal administration in history, going by the convictions. I don’t know if Donvict has beat that record yet. And yet, the “liberal media” was giving him reach-arounds at every opportunity. The guy wasn’t even nearly as popular as the ensuing hagiographies that emerged soon after his exit would have you believe.
He should have gone right to fucking prison for Iran/Contra. And that’s not even getting into the fact that he worked to keep American hostages from getting released under Carter…I’m sure the likes of Taco watched that and knew he could get away with all kinds of shit.
