Was Ronald Reagan's administration the most corrupt in history?

Don't get me wrong, i used to love Ronald Reagan when i was little.
i thought he was awesome.
He is still one of the top presidents of the United states in my mind.
However, some people in his administration were among the shadiest people in politics.
138 administration officials were either indicted, convicted or investigated, that is the largest number of any U.S. president.

The Iran Contra Affair came to light in November 1986. when Ronald Reagan conceded that the United States had sold weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It was part of a largely successful effort to secure the release of six U.S. citizens being held hostage in Lebanon.
Some of the money from the arms deal had been covertly and illegally funneled into a fund to aid the right wing Contras counter revolutionary groups seeking to overthrow the socialist Sandinista government of Nicaragua.
Out of the 14 people indicted, 7 were pardoned.
The investigations were halted when President George H. W. Bush pardoned the secretary of defense Casper Weinberger before his trial.
George was previously Reagan's vice president.
George also pardoned Elliot Abrams, Robbert C. Mc Farlane, Alan D. Fiers, Clair George and Duane R Clarridge.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development grant rigging.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development secretary Samuel Pierce and his associates rigged low income housing bids to favor Republican contributors to Reagan's campaign.
They also rewarded lobbyists such as James G. Watt secretary of the interior.
16 convictions were handed down.
One of them, Phillip D. Winn, was pardoned by president Bill Clinton.

EPA scandals
Over twenty high level EPA employees were removed from office and several agency officials resigned.
There were a wide range of charges, ranging from being unduly influenced by industry groups to rewarding or punishing employees based on their political beliefs.
Sewergates was and EPA scandal that involved the targeted release of Superfund grants to enhance the election prospects of local officials aligned with the Republican Party.

Saving & Loan crisis
747 institutions failed and had to be rescued with $160 billion in taxpayer dollars.
Ronald Reagan eliminated loopholes in the tax code which led to bankrupting 747 Savings and Loans, many whom were operating more or less as banks, thus requiring the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to cover the debts and losses with tax payer money.

Operation Ill Wind
A three year in launched in 1986 by the FBI into the United States government officials and private defense contractors.
42 government officials, 7 military contractors as well as executives at GE, Boeing and the United States Technologies were convicted of various crimes.

Wedtech Scandal
Wedtech Corporation convicted of bribery for Defense Department contracts.

Debategate
Was a political scandal that took place in the final days of the 1980 presidential election. Reagan's team had somehow acquired President Jimmy Carter's top secret briefing papers that Carter used in the preparation for the October 28, 1980, debate with Reagan.

MH370 Wreckage Found?

Ian Wilson, a British tech sleuth, claims he has spotted the doomed jet, which vanished in 2014 with 239 people on board.
Google Maps show the outline of a large plane lying in a high altitude area of the Cambodian jungle. 
Ian intends to visit the sight to solve one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.

If this is not the missing flight, where is it and what really happened?

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was a scheduled international passenger flight operated by Malaysia Airlines.
It disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia.
All 227 passengers and 12 crew on board presumed dead.

Before the fateful flight, the Malaysian captain rehearsed a route deep into the Southern ocean.
He tried to hide the evidence of this by wiping his hard drive.
His flight plan is similar to the one that investigators think the plane actually took.

Was it a hijacked flight?
Will we ever know?

Planet Nine?

Planet Nine is a hypothetical world about 10 times more massive than Earth.
The planet might be hiding behind Neptune.
It might be another 1,000 years before we can see it.
In October 2017, NASA released a statement saying that Planet Nine may be 20 times further from the Sun than Neptune is.
In the hunt for Planet Nine, scientists have found 12 new moons around Jupiter.
In the Oct. 2017 statement, Caltech planetary astrophysicist Konstantin Batygin, said that there 
"five different lines of observational evidence" 
that point to the existence of the planet.
Six known objects in the Kuiper Belt, all of which have elliptical orbits that point in the same direction.
The orbits of the objects are all tilted the same way.
Computer simulations that show there are more objects "tilted with respect to the solar plane."
Planet Nine could be responsible for the tilt of the planets in our solar system.
Some objects from the Kuiper Belt orbit in the opposite direction from everything else in the solar system.

Model and Law Student Shot and Killed in Her Boyfriend's Bathroom.

Reeva Steenkamp was born August 19, 1983 to Barry Steenkamp and June Marshall, previously Cowburn.
She was a South African model who had always dreamed about becoming a lawyer.
At the University of Port Elizabeth she studied Law, graduating in 2005 later working as a paralegal before applying to the bar.
She used her platform to speak out on violence against women.
She had broken her back while horseback riding as a youngster and went through rehabilitation to walk again.

Reeva and Pistorius met over a lunch at a car racing track in November 2012.

On February 13, 2013, 20 year old Reeva, talked to her mom on the phone as she drove to Pistorius' place.
In the next morning, on Valentines Day, Pistorius says he panicked and he was terrified when he heard a noise coming from his bathroom.
He says it was too dark to see anything and he assumed that there was an intruder in his place.

He said that he grabbed his gun from under his bed and the rushed on his stumps to the bathroom.

So, the room was so dark he couldn't see if his girlfriend was in bed or not, but he could find his gun under the bed?

He doesn't attempt to warn her, wake her up or say anything to her about there being an intruder?He was so terrified that he ran towards the danger without a second thought?

Supposedly he shouted for Reeva to call the police.
He then fired four times through the bathroom door.

If he thought it was an intruder.. what made him stop?
What made him only fire 4 shots?

It was Reeva in the bathroom.

What was Reeva doing up at that time?

She had her cellphone in the bathroom with her.

Was she afraid and trying to call someone?

She was shot through her right hip, elbow, the little finger of her left hand was grazed by a bullet.
Finally she was hit in the right temple.

Since the first shot hit her in the hip, she would've screamed out.
Why didn't Pistorius stop when he heard her scream?

Pistorius called emergency services, but she had already passed away.
Neighbors reported hearing a woman scream, then moments of silence followed by gunshots and the more screaming and then more gunshots.
Oscar had said he fired at the bathroom door and then went back to the bedroom to check on Reeva.
When he saw that she wasn't there, that is when he put on his prosthetic legs, ran back to the bathroom and tried to break down the door, because the door was locked.

Why did she have the bathroom door locked?

Reeva sent a text message to Pistorius, three weeks before her murder.
She stated that she was afraid of him sometimes and how he just snaps at her.

On September 12, 2014 he was found guilty of manslaughter.
He was given five years in jail and served a one-year prison sentence.

On 3 December 2015, the Supreme Court of Appeal of South Africa overturned the conviction for mansaughter and instead convicted Pistorius of murder. 

On July 6, 2016, he was sentenced to 6 years in prison, despite the minimum sentence for murder in South Africa being 15 years. 
On appeal by the state for a longer prison sentence, the Supreme Court of Appeal extended Pistorius's prison term to 13 years and five months.

Law Student Murdered By A Stalker.

Lauren Giddings moved to Macon, Georgia from Maryland after being accepted to law school.
She was 27 years old and about to take the bar exam.
She was a Mercer University Law School student and about to make her dream of becoming a attorney a reality.
Laura regularly met up with a study group at the library.
In June of 2011, no one had seen her for several days. 
She wasn't attending her study group, she wasn't responding to emails and she wasn't answering her phone. 
Her phone eventually went dead.
Laura's sister asked a friend of Lauren's to check her apartment using a spare key. Lauren was not there, but her I.D. and keys were still inside.
A missing person's report was filed and when police arrived they noticed Lauren had also left behind a laptop, a purse and her cell phone.
Several days later, her torso was found in a dumpster outside, at the back of the apartments.
The Dumpster should have been collected that morning, but the truck was running late, leaving Lauren's remains and other DNA evidence to be discovered by police.
Her head, arms and legs were missing.
DNA results confirmed that was Lauren's remains.
Fellow graduate Stephen McDaniel  also attended Mercer and lived across from the law school. 
He was a friend of Laura's and helped in the search for her.
Then he gave a interesting interview.
Investigators start looking a whole lot closer at McDaniel.
He was described by friends as "quirky" but "intelligent." Investigators learn that his friends also considered him a bit creepy, saying he had an obsession with zombies. 
He had often asked others how to commit the perfect murder.
They searched his apartment and in his possession both a master key and key to her apartment and he had a flash drive that belonged to her that contained hundreds of her personal photos.
His computer history showed an interest in her Facebook and LinkedIn pages.
Sometimes he would be searching for images of her around the same time that he was looking up violent pornography.
Her underwear was also found in his apartment.
Police say McDaniel had free access to her apartment for some time and had been stalking her every move.
Police found deleted video he had used to survey her apartment night it appears that she was murdered.
It was found in a camera in his possession.
He had took a wooden pole and had duct-taped or somehow fixed that camera to the end of the pole and then held the pole up really high to peek inside her window.
On the day Lauren's remains were found, McDaniel was arrested on unrelated burglary charges.
Cops used that opportunity to interrogate him for answers.
McDaniel was charged with Lauren Giddings' murder.
He eventually accepted a deal, pleading guilty to murder, and openly confessing the lurid details in court.
He said he had put Lauren's head and limbs in another dumpster.
Sadly, those were never found.
Stephen McDaniel was sent to prison for life.

Frederick Douglass was born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey on February 1818.
He was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman who was born into slavery.
His mother was of Native American ancestry and his father was of African and European descent.
He was separated from his mother as an infant.
He escaped slavery at age 20 and became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York.
Anna Murray, a free black woman from Baltimore he met while in captivity with the Aulds, married him in September 1838.
They had five children together.
He published the first of his five autobiographies, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.
He wrote: 
“From my earliest recollection, I date the entertainment of a deep conviction that slavery would not always be able to hold me within its foul embrace; and in the darkest hours of my career in slavery, this living word of faith and spirit of hope departed not from me, but remained like ministering angels to cheer me through the gloom.”
“Thus is slavery the enemy of both the slave and the slaveholder.”
After the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation of 1862, he continued to push for equality and human rights until his death in 1895.
He died after suffering a heart attack on his way home from a meeting of the National Council of Women, in Washington, D.C.
He was also an advocate for woman rights and specifically the right of women to vote.
His work served as an inspiration to the civil rights movement of the 1960's.

Ronald Reagan helped cover evidence in Natalie Wood's Death?

Hollywood insiders, experts and law-enforcement figures claim that former president and actor Ronald Reagan, helped cover up Robert Wagner's involvement in Natalie Wood's death.
They all were guests on podcast “Fatal Voyage: The Mysterious Death of Natalie Wood.”
It is a 12-part audio documentary sheds new light on her case.
Author Kathleen McKenna stated,
“They were old friends, they’d been in the studio system together. I very much doubt Ronald Reagan thought he had killed Natalie, he just thought he was grieving and wanted to protect him.”
One of the many things done wrong with Natalie Wood's case was the coroner’s failure to scrape Wood’s fingernails for tissue that could have yielded evidence of a struggle.
Retired trial lawyer Sam Perroni came forward with the contents of a secret addendum to the autopsy report that the medical examiner commissioned from colleague Paul Miller  but whose sensational findings were never made public.
Marilyn Wayne came forward saying she received a warning in the days after the actress’ demise to zip her lip  or there would be consequences.
She said she had suspicions that it came from a powerful Hollywood star and her being only 19 at the time, it scared her into being quiet.
