Justdrew, sorry, but you have zero credibility re: this.
Actually, regarding anything that might make Democrats look bad.
It's one thing to loathe Republicans more. Quite another to play defense for the Dems.
Let me ask you: Bill Clinton, was he an overseer of drug trafficking? Or, uh, not?
If you begin to explain that away then you'll be the first person I ever ignore.

Almost immediately, it became apparent that Mena enjoyed a special status. Every attempt to investigate met with interference. Investigator Russel Welch of the Arkansas Police was ordered to stay away from drug activity at the Mena Airport. Despite a public statement by then-Governor Bill Clinton that he was doing all he could to investigate allegations of CIA drug running at Mena, citizen's groups charged that funding was cut for any investigations that pointed at Mena, and petitioned the Iran-Contra Special Prosecutor to investigate drug running at Mena.
