WSJ Notable and Quotable

Theodore B. Olson, former counsel to President Reagan, writing in The Washington Times, Oct. 12, on comparisons between Whitewater and Iran-contra:

For the record, the Iran-Contra comparison is a fraud. Within weeks after the Iran-Contra controversy emerged, President Reagan created a bipartisan commission (including a former Democratic candidate for president) to investigate; called for the immediate appointment of an independent counsel; waived executive privilege; and instructed his aides, including White House lawyers, to cooperate fully with all investigations including the joint congressional investigation. He answered written questions under oath, he made portions of his diaries available to the independent counsel, and he gave direct testimony under oath on two separate occasions.

After his two-day videotaped deposition, he joined in the application to make the videotape available in full to the American people. And two federal judges and the independent counsel went out of their way to praise the "extraordinary" level of President Reagan's cooperation with the various investigations. After a seven-year investigation, the independent counsel found no crimes by President Reagan. Zero.
