Wow...that is pretty unreal. The Medal of Freedom to a man who was compromised in so many ethical investigations and implicated in scandals and corruption, and forced to resign under a cloud.



Trump To Honor Former Reagan Attorney General, Who Left Government Under Ethics Cloud

Meese was on hand for the successes of Reagan's first term, then prepared to leave the White House in 1984 to be attorney general. But it took a year, and Reagan's landslide re-election, before the Senate finally confirmed his appointment. Meese was accused of unethical conduct in office at the time, and a report by the onetime Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox cited him for "blindness to the abuse of position."

Further allegations followed. He was investigated for his role in helping the Bechtel Corp. build a pipeline from Iraq to Jordan. His actions on behalf of the Wedtech Corp. were also the subject of an independent counsel's probe. Although never indicted for anything, Meese resigned as attorney general when the independent counsel's critical report was filed in 1988.

He also was in the middle of the Iran-Contra affair, a scandal involving weapons sales to Iran and then the money from those sales was used to fund anti-communist Contra rebels in Nicaragua.

As Brown University noted, "Meese was investigated for his involvement in the cover-up of the scandals, namely for allegedly focusing more on limiting the damage to President Reagan than on his ostensible purpose of trying to investigate what had transpired."
 
Everything Trump does eats you people alive, doesn't it?

Trump To Honor Former Reagan Attorney General, Who Left Government Under Ethics Cloud

How ironic and tragic for you that many of the greatest men in history were great only because they bucked the system, went against the rules, and did "unethical" things:

Martin Luther King: killed for his beliefs that all men are equal.
Peter Higgs: scorned and laughed at for his theories until years later when the Large Hadron Collider proved him right.
Albert Einstein: worked as a clerk in a patent office because no one would even give this guy the time of day because he dared to question Newton's Laws.
Nikola Tesla: gave up one of the greatest fortunes in history to be poor so that Westinghouse could bring his alternating current to the world making the modern age possible.
Nicolaus Copernicus: risked burning at the stake by the Church in order to realize his belief that the Sun rather than the Earth was the center of the universe.

Charles Manson "bucked the rules" too. I dont think he should be honored.

To put Meese in tbe same category as King, Einstein etc is a joke.

We should honor the real peace president - Donald J. Trump. Obama should ship his peace prize to Trump. The only thing he did for peace is get Trump elected.

YES, your point is valid, but also MAKES MY POINT that you cannot judge a person solely on the basis of the fact that he might have had a history of violating the ethics of those in power.

If we were to use your criteria then, that would make George Washington a scoundrel and a rogue to be shackled, outcast and jailed too, because he offended the ethics of the Queen of England.

Admit it, Coyote, your main beef with this isn't Meese, a great man, it is the fact that it is TRUMP honoring him. If Obama or Hildegarde were doing it, you'd have no issue. There ain't NOTHING in this world Trump could ever do you'd approve of other than to resign because you are totally TDSed by him.

Admit that, heal your soul, you'll be able to live with yourself better in the morning for once being honest with yourself.

Irony so thick one needs a chainsaw to cut through it. My guess is you'll need someone to explain it to you.
