Oliver North marries Fawn Hall, his document-shredding secretary at the center of Iran-Contra scandal

.... North, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, was a National Security Council staffer when he gained attention for his role in the Iran-Contra scandal. North was part of the twin schemes to sell weapons to Iran and then use proceeds to fund anti-communist rebels, known as the Contras, in Nicaragua.

Hall, North’s secretary, admitted to shredding damning documents related to the controversy. She snuck documents that possibly implicated North’s involvement out of the White House by stuffing them in her clothing and shoes, and the two later overfed a paper shredder to the point of it jamming. ....

But the sales ran afoul of legislation that limited US government assistance to the Contras, an arms embargo against Iran, and Reagan’s previous assurances that the US would not negotiate with terrorists.

North was convicted in 1989 on three felony charges, but the convictions were vacated shortly after. Hall was granted immunity from prosecution. ....

2. ugh....Oh well....

[Submariner]

3. This is the original disgrace to the uniform of the United States Marines

in the post-WWII era. Raygun's crack whore gun shipper.

[Tanuki]

4. Well now she won't have to testify against him

if anything else emerges from the crypt at this late date and for which the statute of limitations hasn't expired.

[BoRaGard]

6. But she may have to go shopping for lingerie again

[Paladin]

7. Hope they're wretchedly unhappy with one another. (nt)

[Jacson6]

8. The funny thing is that all of the documents that were shredded were electronically backed up.

So it did them no good.

[UTUSN]

9. Well, she got immunity and his convictions were vacated, so they got their crooked good out of it.

10. Good for them!

Imagine carrying a torch that long! My arm would get tired! I'm exclaiming!

Seriously though... two old codgers tying the knot is always nice to see. Don't care who they are. Means you can still find love, even if it is one you might've already lost once, maybe that makes it sweeter.

11. Why would she take up with an old fart like that?

I can't think of anything worse than being a caregiver to an old man in my own old age.

Ollie is 81, and Fawn is 65. Both were previously widowed.
