That's not suggesting Regan was involved in anything so sordid and sickening, but should we turn a blind eye if he was? Should we forget the truth in order to preserve the legacy and remove any form of guilt for previously liking someone so vile?
Was Ronald Reagan part of the paedophile ring?

Well he was pretty much guilty of treason .
Him and his cronies should have died behind bars for the Iran-contra affair
At the end of the day I would not be surprised he was involved in this.
If you can be involved in one massive crime then its not beyond reason you could be involved in a second one too.

Since he didn't do anything that violated the actual definition of treason, no he was not "pretty much guilty" of it. Laws were broken, either by him or in his name, but the act of treason wasn't one of them.
And really, saying that since somebody is willing to break one kind of law, then they're probably willing to break an entirely different kind of law is silly.
There are plenty of murderers in prison who wouldn't bat an eyelash at killing somebody, to include a chomo because they find the crime reprehensible.

Bush Jr comes across as stupid as it suits him to do so. He's not stupid in the slightest. We have a politican in the UK called Boris Johnson (the Mayor of London, actually) who does a similar act, albeit with buffoonishness rather than stupidity.
I think if everything in the world was entirely transparent, you'd find that sexual abuse was fairly commonplace in politics worldwide throughout all of history. The vast majority of sexual abusers get off on the power aspect of it, so any job type that attracts those with an interest in power will probably be rife.
That's just my thoughts on it, of course.

No but it does mean he loses credibility.
And bypassing congress to give "comfort and aid to the enemy" last time I checked was treason.
Iran was the USA enemy. Regan allowed the supply of weapons to Iran. That fulfills the definition of providing aid to the enemy.
