Show Notes Episode 495: The Buck Stops Elsewhere Part 2 of Iran Contra This week Host Dave Bledsoe demands immunity from paying his bartabs only to be found in contempt by the bartender. (Again) On the show this week we take a look at the fallout from the Iran Contra Affair. (Spoiler: No one went to jail.) Along the way we discover that Dave has a dubious idea of what “truth” means. (If you are just now learning this, welcome to the show) Then we dive into why Congress has the ability to investigate things. (Campaign advertisements) Then we talk about how a plane crash in Nicaragua and a magazine in Lebanon caused the whole Iran Contra Affair to come apart at the seams. (The magazine was Highlights for Kids) We take a look at how the Reagan Administration reacted to being accused of doing all the crimes they actually did and how Congress “accidentally” made sure no one would suffer any consequences for breaking the laws.
