Yes McCain got off with a slap on the wrist in the era in which Reagan solidified corruption in the Congress. Remember this was the period when the GOP and fundies were working with drug dealers, international arms traders, right-wing assassins, .... to kill 300,000 christians in central america.

If we had cleaned out this bunch of crooks then, we wouldn't have had them back committing more crimes against humanity and robbing us blind then.
Bush, McCain and the Old Iran-Contra Team
T he vetting of Sarah Palin for the McCain campaign by an Iran-Contra alumnus brought an epiphany. (See “ The Man Who Vetted Palin,” CounterPunch, September 8, 2008.) The American people’ s inability to control this crime spree we call the Bush administration is not because we’ re lazy, narcissistic or willfully blind to human rights violations, as much of the world now views us. It’ s because we’ ve been misidentifying this crime spree as “ the Bush administration.” What we’ re clearly confronting is the Iran-Contra Alumni Association masquerading as the Executive Branch, replete with domestic spying, dark ops, fake journalists, fake news reels, press intimidation, protester arrests, infiltration and torture. Their latest maneuver is the woman with zero foreign policy experience a heart beat from taking that 3 a.m. call. A call which, of course, they’ ll answer for her as they have done for Bush II.
