Who is the highest official ever to serve time in jail in the U.S.? I’m guessing a governor (Blago of Illinois for one. A democrat governor or two from Maryland).
There were the various Nixon administration officials. The Atty General (John Mitchell) served 19 months.
Since Watergate, who was the highest official to serve time in jail for corruption?
I could be mistaken but I thought is was Attorney General, John Mitchell, under President Nixon.
