Oliver North had famously poor memory during the Iran-contra hearings. But it was amazingly effective at deflecting accountability, he still appears as a 'expert' on fox news to this day.

Which is a joke, since there had to be a paper trail so his very unreliable memory wasn't the main evidence.

calling out lies only matters if there is accountability and punishment.

ollie north was also lying on behalf of the establishment who wanted to fund anti-communist partisans (the contras, a term only known to most millennials as a nintendo game)
