I'm having a hard time finding anything specific about his role in Iran-Contra. ANybody got an ideas where to look? Even WIkipedia is vague at best here. Lord of the Goons The official spikey-haired skeptical punk 03:50, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Lesson learned?[edit]

To me it looks like the lesson from Poindexter's overturned conviction is this: If you find yourself in hot water, get a package deal of a highly televised congressional hearing in which you get immunity from anything you testify about. Chances are that any witnesses in a future trial will likely be held to have been influenced by the congressional hearings. ScepticWombat (talk) 07:15, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
