It was indeed successful.

Ended up with Bush I pardoning the bunch, wiping out all pending criminal prosecutions in the Iran-Contra case, and effectively completing the cover up.

"It" isn't all made up. There is no "it". There is still no allegation of wrongdoing by Trump.

At least you are willing to concede that the Trump campaign and Trump officials colluded with the Russians. That's a step.

I don't think Mueller would offer Flynn immunity unless he was willing to get him some info on people higher up than Don, Junior.

But ~ I'm content to wait and see.

It was the Trump Administration's job to vet everyone they hired.
Team Trump did a dreadful job of vetting all the way around.
