Just one of the very odd things one recalls after many years.
Another one about Agnew... can’t recall where I read it, but it snapped me to attention at the time.
One of the men designated as a bagman, made his visit to the Executive Office building where the VP offices are located. His testimony or revelation was that he was sitting in the waiting room of the Vice President of the United States and literally holding a paper A&P bag containing a bribe. Stunned him. He then commented on his surprise that politicians at that level could be bribed so cheaply.
For far too many, politics is simply a road to wealth.
