Sad and infuriating truth. We learned from Clinton (in my adult history) nothing goes anywhere from our mouse maze of DC. The criminals du jour just move on and get richer. Ah for the courage of politicians, journalists etc who stuck Senator McCarthy to the wall. But perhaps that was a rare occurrence also. I was just a kid.

Yes, the Venona papers proved McCarthy was correct. But he is still being scape-goated, even from the right wing.

McCarthy forgot the bankers and the Nazis. Nazis and bankers came out of Germany like the Marxists/communists.
