The rebels trying to overthrow the Sandinista government in Nicaragua?
The rebels trying to overthrow the Sandinista government in Nicaragua were primarily known as the Contras, a group formed in the early 1980s. They received support from the United States, particularly during the Reagan administration, which viewed the Sandinista government as a Marxist threat in Central America. The conflict between the Contras and the Sandinista government led to a brutal civil war that lasted throughout the 1980s, resulting in significant loss of life and widespread suffering. Ultimately, the conflict ended with a peace agreement in 1990, leading to democratic elections and a change in government.
Why was Reagan investigated for funding rebels and Obama not?
These are two very different situations, if I understand your question. You may be referring to President Obama agreeing to help the rebels in Syria; but many members of congress, led by Senator McCain, were very insistent that the US government should help, and the president agreed. This is very different from the secret deals which President Reagan made, including trading arms with Iran in order to funnel money to the Contras in Nicaragua: he helped the Contras even after congress said he should not. There is no evidence President Obama has made secret deals with Iran or anyone else, and he has not gone behind the back of congress.
