Spiro Agnew was never convicted of PERJURY or even charged. He was convicted of TAX EVASION and ACCEPTING BRIBES. His punishment? $10,000.00 fine.
“After two appeals by Agnew, he finally resigned himself to the matter and a check for $268,482 was turned over to Maryland State Treasurer William S. James in early 1983.”
OK, so it wasn’t a fine.
