Aug 7 2020 2 mins From the co-creators of Slow Burn comes Fiasco season 3.

Over six episodes, Fiasco uses firsthand accounts and archival recordings to reconstruct the calamitous investigation by Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh. Walsh was appointed to investigate the Iran-Contra affair, a political scandal in the Reagan administration that involved the sale of arms to Iran and the diversion of funds to the Contras in Nicaragua.
Despite Walsh's exhaustive investigation, no one was ever convicted of a felony. In Fiasco, Leon Neyfakh and his team of reporters explore the reasons for Walsh's failure, and the lasting impact of the Iran-Contra affair on American politics.

Fiasco is a gripping and insightful look at one of the most consequential political scandals in American history. It is essential listening for anyone interested in the Iran-Contra affair, the role of the independent counsel, or the challenges of investigating political corruption.
