Some American history. Yes, John Mitchel is "the only US Attorney General ever to be convicted of illegal activities."
Here's something else.. Armand Hammer was convicted just once in his whole life (I believe). That conviction was for contributing money to Nixon during the so-called "Watergate" thing.
It was because it had to do with Nixon, stupid! :)
BTW, Karl Marx did not attend the Russian Revolution.. if I heard right Savage said he was there.
