Saint Ronnie got caught red-handed fighting an illegal war in Central America specifically forbidden by Congress, and trying to pay off his nun-raping Contra goons with money raised by selling weapons to terrorists who were torturing and killing Americans in the Middle East.

Not only was he not impeached for the first, he wasn't even tried and executed as a traitor for the second.

Any man of any politics may later be found to be an evil cynical opportunist, but in this case, the entire Republican establishment got to fully participate in his crimes, share his guilt, and earn our contempt by making excuses and covering for this foul criminal. and recasting his outrages as patriotic statesmanship.

I don't have to wait for history to be rewritten, I've watched the conservatives working on this script continuously for the last three decades.
