<<<< And the rule for Republicans seems to be that lying under oath about things other than adultery is not actionable. Hyde explained this standard best when excusing lies in the Iran-contra affair. It did not make sense, he said, to "label every untruth and every deception an outrage...in the murkier grayness of the real world, choices must often be made." Ronald Reagan could remember very little about his efforts to arm the contras, but when confronted with facts indicating that he'd been told about it, he insisted his "heart and [his] best intentions" proved otherwise. After Ollie North bragged about his own lying and got off on a legal technicality, the G.O.P. wanted him to be the Senator from Virginia. cnn.com;

Yeah, the home of Peter Arnett has a backlog of credibility to go on too!

And after David DuKKKe bragged about his own racist and white supremacist views, the G.O.P. wanted him to be the Governor of Louisiana!

Fun fact to know and tell,

Q: Who helped North beat the rap?:

A: The ACLU

The legal technicality was none other than the 5th amendment.
