What Washington's crooked higher echelon said during the Raygun years when crafty good ol' boy "Devious Deaver" was Prune-Face's Deputy Chief of Staff, anytime they were a subject of investigation by Congress, they would always just trust "The Deav" to fib and waffle on their behalf.
Whenever ol' Ronnie's shifty-eyed administration officials came under scrutiny, they would just tell "The Deav" about the situation, and then assure each other, "No worries now --- we'll just leave it to Deaver to get us out of this mess."
