Book
Bag man : the wild crimes, audacious cover-up & spectacular downfall of a brazen crook in the White House / Rachel Maddow & Michael Yarvitz.
"The year was 1973, and Spiro T. Agnew, the former governor of Maryland, was Richard Nixon's second-in-command. Long on firebrand rhetoric and short on political experience, Agnew had carried out a bribery and extortion ring in office for years, when--at the height of Watergate--three young federal prosecutors discovered his crimes and launched a mission to take him down before it was too late, before Nixon's impending downfall elevated Agnew to the presidency ... In this ... account, Rachel Maddow and Michael Yarvitz detail the investigation that exposed Agnew's crimes, the attempts at a cover-up, ... and the backroom bargain that forced Agnew's resignation but also spared him years in federal prison." --Provided by publisher.
