    Here is a prosecution summary page of the Iran-Contra scandal: https://www.brown.edu/Research/Understanding_the_Iran_Contra_Affair/prosecutions.php

    Despite all the clearly illegal activity, only one guy got 16 months prison for lying on his tax returns. Everybody else got probation or pardoned.

    So I don’t think a well connected poultry CEO would ever actually do time for such a thing. It’s a nice thought tho.

    I agree there needs to be better pathways to legal immigration. The US population growth is slowing and is projected to decline. Need more Americans.
