And he sold those missiles because Congress had made it illegal to fund rape/murder squads in Nicaragua.

The money was off the books and then sent to the death squads killing innocent farmers.

Unlike Nixon, Congress was not willing to impeach, so Regan denied everything and only a few staffers were prosecuted.

Bush Sr pardoned them.

Republicans: not even once.

The contras were elected to government so...

They were elected after they murdered the opposition.

Would you vote against the guys that would rape your wife and kids while you watch and then lock you all in a burning building?

The guys that have the support of the US government and the CIA?

Ah, I am not educated on their current status. Only their actions in the 1980's.
