The central difference is that Iran-contra and Watergate were Republican “scandals”. F&F is a minor Democrat scandal where only one American was murdered with a USG supplied weapon. Nothing to see here.
I was referring to the typical back and forth between the WH and Congress. I guess during Watergate something like a subpoena was a bit unique so it made headlines. Now it is so common that it barely gets a mention- even on the internet.
It doesn’t help that we are dealing with people who have no sense of shame so trying to embarass them is futile.
