Agnew and Nixon should have gone to prison. We would not be in the position we are in today.
The weakness of our justice system is clear. A despot who can run for office is not going to save American democracy.
Agree with you 💯. It's far too late to be concerned about how it appears to the world. Trump severely crossed those lines already with all his rhetoric, antics and mishandling of foreign affairs. Trump has committed serious crimes and need to be held fully accountable. No more slaps on the wrist. We have seen that it only allows it to happen again getting worse with each time.
I think it's not a weakness of our justice system it's a weakness of the qualifications of who is allowed to run for office!
That's why this has to be different.
Well said 🩵🦋🇺🇲
I wouldn't bet on 'if they'd gone to prison it wouldn't be happening now'.
I think it's a very different world in terms of SM, manipulatable algorithms, post-truth, alternative facts etc.
Unfortunately human beings, we rarely learn from our mistakes - whatever 'positive thinking bloggers' tell us... 😒
I think one important difference in this comparison is that Agnew was ethically corrupt but mentally and emotionally stable whereas Trump is ethically corrupt, and emotionally and mentally UNstable. Agnew may have been trusted to fulfil his deal with the courts but Trump has proven he cannot be trusted with anything.
He even cheats against himself at Golf.
Excellent point.👍
@@ArtyFactual_Intelligence ....he golfed 260 times costing taxpayers millions after saying he'd work too hard to golf at all!
I honestly wouldn't trust him to sit the right way on a toilet seat.
Biden, DoJ, FBI, MSNBC are far lest trust worthy that Trump
Interesting that it was the Republican Party then and it’s the Republican Part now!
Republican Party is a home for criminals.
Yes interesting you listen to this all day n think you know something. 😂.
Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon and Donald Trump = Republican Traitors in our Federal Government.
Which party formed the KKK?
@@swooopg It was the Southern Democrats, sure. But whatta you know? When the civil rights bill was signed into law, they all fled to the Republican party and there, they remain. You and @opressedspeakeroftruth are many decades too late for that argument.
I lived the Nixon/Agnew debacle. I remember sitting in the barracks watching their resignation speech's and thinking that we will pay a price for not prosecuting them. Now here we are.
So true. And unfortunately this time the crimes are 100X worse.
I made the same prediction. Sadly, it was correct. If the justice department let's this go, it can only get worse.
I remember I was quite young when Nixon ran, and I said if he ran, he would be impeached. I predicted same with trump.
Chuck, that must have been Viet Nam. I had a draft card.
@@dab808
We must have a similar 6th sense, I remember seeing a bit of the Kennedy/Nixon debate, and thinking, that guy (Nixon) shouldn’t ever be President.
And when Trump entered the primary, I thought, then said out loud, then posted to Facebook, holy crap, Trump is going to become president, this could mean the end to Western Civilization! I was called an alarmist, but Trump’s continued antics, and mounting indictments, and glow in the dark followers, suggest the final chapter hasn’t been written, and I want to be proved wrong.
Yeah just let Trump get away with this next time we will have a dictator
And a vengeful one!
Emperor for the next 20 years, get his Golf course built in Moscow, Trump plaza in China and Condos in North Korea
@@BillyBob-fd5ht Don’t forget Saudi Arabia- so much winning.
@@cdubya3071 buying the PGA what a joke
THIS TIME we'll have a dictator. He has already promised fascism.
"No one is above the law.. We have one system of law for everyone"
No, that is simply not true and it is time we stop pretending it is and make it so. This is a good opportunity to start.
Agree with you. Not delivering justice due to any kind of calculation or consideration is a bad decission in the long run. Lady of Justice is supposed to wear a blindfold.
No one is above the law, EXCEPT TRUMP! He's like the road runner, beep beep.
@@marieglatt6656 Guess he learned from Hilary and Pelosi...beep beep.
The ignorance in the comments are astounding
@nix4644 but there is evidence with Trump lol. Lots of it.
My dad was a news hound. He read up to 11 newspapers a day and watched news every evening. I was 16 and had major spine surgery in 1973. When they were trying to get me to wake up from anesthesia my dad helped out by leaning over me and saying, "Spiro Agnew Resigned!!!!"
Wonderful!
😊😊😊
that's hilarious!
You're Dads head would be spinning today. News, lies and speculation hitting him 24/7.
Sweet story!
If Trump makes a promise as part of a plea deal, *he will break that promise*, guaranteed.
Agree 100% That is why there will be no deal.
🤡did you know the Demokkkrats are the founder's of the kkk?
Are you Demokkkrats still mad Lincoln freed and armed the slaves?
Trump couldn't spell Guarantee with his oversized Sharpie.
Make a promise to Trump that if he breaks that agreement they will prosecute.
No, just treat him like any other person who is charged with crimes. No politician should be able to agree to never run for office again as a plea deal to have charges dropped. This is nonsense.
I was just a kid then, but I remember my bio father bitterly sharing the assertion that Nixon hadn't done anything any other politician was doing. Hearing the people talk about Agnew the way people talk about the former occupier of the White House (albeit with more polite language) reminds me that cult figures have always loomed large in US politics.
America has always had fascist tendencies - from the workplace to politics, to churches.
Wow!
Yeah, I remember a lot of people swearing that the only difference between Nixon and any other President is that he got caught.
Even Agnew was a political hit job. He had used some money to refurbish a boat that he entertained on with money for an expense claim. At least that was one of the charges. He did entertain foreign dignitaries on it. It may have been a stretch, but one could argue that. Most every other charge was arguable as well. Verdicts are not all black and white. Rachel is a political left-wing hack as it is. The fact is all the charges brought against Trump are mostly a stretch and many exaggerated false charges. He did have documents that needed to be returned. That much is true. Joe Biden had documents for decades in 5 different locations and none of them secure. Hillary Clinton had an illegal server and had top secret stuff that was hacked by foreign governments. So, let's get real.
but i bet your dad never bitterly complained that, say, arrested black youth were not doing anything that white youth were not also doing. see how that tends to work with fascists? there is no such thing as a criminal defense of 'but everyone is doing it'.
This is another example of a double standard of law enforcement: wealthy, well-connected politicians, don’t face the same legal consequences as the average man in spite of their numerous crimes.
That's the US justice system for you. Better have a few million on hand if you want to commit a crime.
No double standard. The more money you have, the stronger defense you can buy, and the better results you'll get.
@Raul Escandon still a double standard since such defense is not available to everyone
Well educated?????
@@raulescandon4485 You or I would get raided and thrown in the back of a van. Rich folks get asked politely to show up.
That's not a result of affording a better attorney, that's just a result of the privilege of wealth.
It's just awsome that you bring this up considering that the parallels are stunning. The saying that history will repeat itself if it is ignored, never has had more meaning.
I hope that doesn't happen here. Trump needs prison. He needs to be banned from politics forever. He needs to be fined until he's penniless.
And people like Biden and hilary who blantanly break laws and launder money for themselves
He will never see a day in prison, unfortunately. He is #45 like him or not and America still has to protect the presidents office and the weight of it on the international stage especially with the world watching has to still prove we're a nation of laws and no one is above the law so he would face some type of consequence if convicted like maybe being confined to his retirement mansion with a golf course to pass his time but will never see a day in prison.
The way to get to a rich man is to take their money..
Everything is probably in his wife’s name. If it’s even real.
After the Fulton County & J6 CRIMES indictments ... the 45th CRIMINAL in Chief can book his fitting room date for a CONVICT ORANGE JUMPSUIT!
No Person should ever be able to hold Any Position in Federal, State, or Local Government, if indicted, and especially if Convict - PERIOD!!!! PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE THIS A LAW NOW!!!!
Agree with you 💯. The majority of the people are mature enough to accept Trump being sent to prison. Vote Blue 💙💙💙 up and down the ballot everywhere.
Dump breaks all the norms. Jerks require rules and law changes.
No, that would not be a good thing. An indictment is not an automatic guilty. Think about how a Fascist president DeSantist would use that law.
@@stopthecrazyguy9948Absolutely! There must be a conviction first.
It's already the law. No one convicted of a crime can hold public office. Unfortunately, that won't stop Trumputin even when he IS convicted! He believes, down to his lack of soul, that NO rules apply to HIM.
I find it actually crazy that someone in public office would not be automatically removed from holding any public office if found guilty of a crime. Surely these people should be held to the highest standards
Check list of laws and loop holes and cracks in our laws. Once it's all Democrat. We can fix the holes. That's an absolute need. Including laws holding politicians accountable to their oath. To the country. Not to the gerrymandering districts they have fixed for themselves. It's we the people. Not we the 1%. Lobbyists need to be out. Don't get me started. The laws need to protect the citizens making us and our needs over and above any corporate entity, pact or special interest. If they do not abide by these laws. They can immediately be removed from office. Everything, from the way we citizens are funneled for corporate money making..lol. seriously I could explain. But the laws should be written backing the citizenry... not in favor of money makers. They will still make their money. But only in consideration of and devotion to the citizens who have made them wealthy. Meaning ie : pensions for everyone again. If they want to go back in time. Let's do that by the laws that use to protect the citizens. If they want to make money in America off the American people they will secure futures and retirement for all. Not disgustingly over paid exec who basically are there right now to take from Americans.. their hands have been in OUR PIE. These corps are the ones who "buy" politicians votes and have removed over time even that had shored up us citizens. The chipping away is now to the point the wealthy who buy votes are trying to take military pensions, social security, Medicare. Why do you think? Because then you will have to pay for all that yourself. It's not enough that they have cut out every last benefit of being American and working for them. Now they are trying to take away every entitlement.. why? Well so they can write off their Lear jets. We the 98%.. should tell them NO MORE. sorry. On a rant... just stepped off my soap box.
I don't know, why don't you ask Lula da Silva, president of Brazil, jailed in mid-term by his fascist opponent Bolsonaro,
@glynisbuie4234, It is beyond crazy, sick, terrifying, demented, and most of all WILL spell the end for America itself. How in God's Name this country 'allowed' two of the most foul men, to ever get this far is frightening and I personally believe it WILL be catastrophic in ways we'll never come back from. We're beyond playing with fire when it comes to trump and his ilk, it's like you can see the sun setting on what was America, which is moving towards the direction of becoming an ash heap. We are living with the enemy and unfortunately that enemy IS America's very own so called 'patriotic citizens'. 🤢😮😢
All right somebody go get Biden. Bribery payments fromm China.
@burkegerald1645 I don't like Trump any more that you do . Both parties are a disgrace and using a political solution that has the potential of backfiring.
The word "shame" is unfamiliar to Trump and his supporters.
One hallmark sign of a sociopath is that they have no sense of right and wrong and cannot feel shame.
As is the word "honor".
You could be talking about your liar in chief Joe Biden who has no shame
That's actually incorrect. Maladaptive Narcissists are driven _purely_ by shame and its avoidance at all costs. Shame and fear of exposure is the very core of who they are.
It's the strongest human emotion any of us have, and it's driving every step he takes... ⚖🍊
[Source: I'm a Clin. Psych.]
What shame remember stick to the fact's
This was back when people actually had a concept of shame.
Trump's father was a high functioning sociopath. Too bad Donald never inherited the high functioning part.
THEY CANNOT BE EMBARRASSED- THEY'RE INVINCIBLE IN A FASHION
Some people. Agnew did not.
Only a concept...
Trump vouchsafed the Deplorables moniker every time he opened his mouth and spewed.
The lowest of the low is celebrated.
It’s disorienting.
How about a law that states one cannot hold office while in jail end of story, kind of a head scratcher as to why this has not already happened
That would have to be a constitutional amendment to be unchallenged.
@@thomaslarson459 Whatever it takes, the procedure to get it passed should be under way.
And must be legally clean to run, be nominated, elected and /or served ANY public elected office federal, state, and local.

So many states won't allow felons to vote ever again, even after serving their debt to society. That the same standards don't apply to running for office is ludicrous.
Thank you for having Me. Liebman on; he is a gem and someone this nation must make use of at this crucial time in history! As usual, Rachel, you're the best.

Exactly! Criminals with FELONIES MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HOLD THE POSITION OF PRESIDENT
Yes we learned it was a set up and the Jan 6 comittee doctored footage.
Agree 💯 with you. Trump must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. The law is the law. If not this type of thing is undoubtedly happen again, getting worse each time. Not holding Nixon and Agnew to that fullest extent was a mistake, that set no serious deterrence. No more slaps on the wrist.
Absolutely. If we don't change it next guy will do it smarter. Whether Trump ends up in jail or not, this is a dress rehearsal.
Trump was 100% ready in 2016 to go nuts over "the big steal" if he lost.
He had it all in place and ready to go. Sadly for us he "won".
He will never take a loss and call it good, he will fight the system all the way.

I voted in my first election in 1973 after turning 18 in October. I remember all of this, Nixon, Agnew.
It seems to me other than Dwight D. Eisenhower, all the republicans that reached the Whitehouse as president did things that made the rank-and-file Americans lives worse, our economy worse, and our standing in the world worse.
Nixon (Watergate), Ford (the pardon), Reagan (Contra, roll back of financial regulations), G.H.W. Bush (more of the same financial rollbacks), G.W. Bush (Iraq lies and unjust war), and the very worst D.J. Trump, (Ukraine and US election interference, and "incitement of insurrection"!
And D.J. Trump (obstruction, espionage, violation of documents act.)
This is the legacy of the republican party. None ever made America Great or even again!
The packed court made the most harmful decision ever (not counting reversal of Roe vs. Wade) in the Citizens United ruling which left the majority of Americans without the means nor any fairness in fighting corporations' ability to outspend them in elections to get representatives in their own interests and not the peoples.
Just look at the congress republican side, deceitful bunch if ever.
Well said and so right! Thank you for stating it clearly. I am 76 and I do not remember a Republican administration or congress that ever did anything but make life worse for the average American. Everyone, back then, knew Agnew was a total crook, as well as Nixon and his staff.
Great post, Rick. I'm a year younger. Was outraged by the Agnew and Nixon corruption. Thought it was the worst presidential scandal I'd see. Then they both skated and I knew that would embolden the next crook.
Three years older with 2 babies at the time, and I remember it all very well, especially my father-in-law referring to Nixon as ‘Tricky Dicky’.
Wow...Agree with everything you said. I studied WWll extensively, and see the same cult worship, etc. with trump. Eisenhower was an exceptional and honorable man. Things were great under Clinton, so they had to focus on his faults. (Still think that was a set up, using his weakness.)
Same age, watched the Nixon hearings on tv, wondering how we would survive it. Now here we go again, with a crook who will never admit to what he did and never stop riling up his backers hoping to get money for his defense and maybe some violence to make us afraid to take him to task. Once again I despair for the future...
I don't think the DOJ should offer the same deal to 45 because this gabone may come back to haunt us again. So I think we should not go down that road since he does not hold public office and chances are he will not hold office again. 45 does not have that "get out of jail card"
Any deal would be a huge mistake!
Did you see paul Ryan on cbs this morning? They WILL vote for him as a GOP block because winning is the only thing that matters
So, you think the GOP WILL win if Trump is their candidate? Trump may be an arrogant narcissist, but Biden looks like he's much worse than Agnew ever was and Agnew was as bad or worse, historically,than any in the Executive Branch.
Joe Biden doesn't look like a Patriot. Joe Biden looks like the most self serving politician in U.S. history and that's saying a lot. We have yet to see things play out.
A lot depends on a determination of motives with Trump. Biden may be found to be guilty of selling out his country. Trump may only be guilty of egoism.

I love how RM does her own fact checking with her guests by asking them if she "got that right" while live! TY!
...and she's always right 👍
She’s been doing that from second one on her show and often would get a clarification …endearing quality in any human to me…;
Almost to say she makes 💩 outta thin air
And you definitely get the feeling that she truly is asking for any revision or change so that she is as close to the truth ( what a concept - TRUTH!) as possible!
Yes, I noticed her skills a long time ago because she knows how to connect the Dots too the Facts.
According to some people, I did nothing wrong. According to other people, I am perfect. Wow. How delightful. I was 22 years old when this went down. And I’ve never forgotten. Was quite an eye-opener. Now I’m 73 and like Rachel said, holy crap. In her own way, of course.
Here we go again, it seems some people never learn. Most people that voted for tRump old enough to have lived through Nixon and should know better. I was going to vote for Robert Kennedy in my first election. My first heartbreak dealing with politics. Not my last.
@@gl15colI'm 73, and would have voted for RFK too. Had Bobby won who knows. IMO all the POTUS in my lifetime have been faulty in some way... Both Dems and GOP.
Carter was a Patriot and is a fine human being. Carter was also a terrible POTUS. Slick Willie from Arkansas was as good a POTUS as any Democrat ever was...p he was the moral opposite of Carter. Trump was often irritating, but he had good policys and was a Patriot who only wanted to "drain the swamp". He was widely loved until he declared to run for POTUS. No man has ever faced such unfair treatment before, during, and after being President. Trump won because HRC was a total NO. Republicans only won because they put up candidates like Al Gore and John Kerry...omg what total asshats.

Thank you, Rachel. History is a teacher. 👍🔥🇨🇦
And for those that don't remember, your podcast entitled "Bagman" is a masterpiece on the Agnew story. Masterpiece! 🙌

The so-called principle that nobody is above the law doesn't hold as true. If I had been caught with that many documents--even far lower-level sensitivity--I'd be in jail until trial, in part because the bail amount would be far more than I could raise. The former guy is not likely to even see the inside of a jail cell. Tell me he isn't above the law without saying he's above the law.
Like Hillary and her deleted emails and classified things she had or joe having dociments. Why is trunp facing charges when others have done the same or similar? Nice that you pointed that out.
The republicans have already said he’s above the law. “You can’t indict a sitting president”, “you can’t impeach a former president”, and “you can’t prosecute a presidential candidate”.
As long as trump holds any of those positions, according to them, he is above the law.
Hillary Clinton would disagree she destroyed thousands of classified documents i did not see her endictment.
This broadcast, with the interview with Ron Liebman, is a great example of why what Rachel does is different from others and is SO impactful. She routinely tells the stories of the news from a broad perspective, in this case featuring the parallels with Trump's issues and those faced by Spiro Agnew. And I think it is her interest in deeply understanding things that leads her to such great choices as drawing from history and featuring in this broadcast an important person from it. I found Mr. Liebman's thinking so important to hear when he said that a deal that would keep Trump from running would not be the move for the DoJ to make because of the perception there might be that the prosecution was politicized; thus, undermining that Trump is simply facing the consequences of any citizen where there is evidence of a crime. I was not expecting that response and it has broadened the lens from which I am thinking about the situation with Trump.
I typically experience Ms. Maddow's choice of lens to be impactful in my understanding current (and past) event more broadly/deeply, and that is a huge service to me as a consumer of news and as a citizen of this great experiment in democracy.
Much gratitude to the network for being willing to have Rachel as a host and allowing her free eign to tells the news from the broad/deep perspective she can. And I appreciate the network's willingness to support her in engaging in other endeavors (e.g., the Deja News podcast) while still remaining on air.
I wish there were more people in the news who approached telling the news like she does. I am a well-educated person, and I do not find it easy to be sufficiently informed as at citizen in a democracy at this time. I know that she cannot cover as many stories as those who cover the news conventionally, but a different approach would be to have more like Rachel so that more stories of the day might be told in depth. In these times of complex issues and things to consider as a voting citizen in a democratic society, I would welcome this different approach and I would watch/listen to them all!
God bless Rachel Maddow, corporate fascism and the Raytheon dividend, how much do you have invested?
Rachel, you are the absolute best reporting person! I know that when I watch your videos I am going to hear the truth. No matter what political party or non political leanings, you can be assured that Rachel tells it straight and true! Thank you for all of your hard work ❤
I can’t even name anyone at the moment I trust more than Rachel. She should be on the Supreme Court.✊🏾
"plagued with a problem this disgusting", a fitting description of our current situation.

@CathySmithPoet Crazy 🤪 but true. Went from having his son to having a relationship with pornstar to President to prison. All due to an over inflated ego.
Umm, first of all, crime is not high if you follow the facts, but more importantly, people aren't going to think that if Trump doesn't go to prison, that means they can all get away with crimes, especially given how many conservatives are being convicted now.
You did so amazing reports .. continued impressive research and news .. thank you for everything and keep up good work…we Americans need someone like you..I hope our lady of justice speaks today..
Remember folks, When Rachel was sued for lying and saying OAN was "really, literally paid Russian Propaganda" the court found that due to the style of her show a "reasonable viewer would not find her statement factual" so, the question is, are you reasonable?
We have our own orange Bagman!
Your historical perspective is always so important.
Yes! And ALWAYS on point. One of a kind✊🏾
The cult of personality, and lack of education about how legislation works, seems to be the two biggest hurtles that we still need to get over. Just like with most jobs, there are many people available to do it. This weird obsession that only this one individual can do it is mind bogglingly silly to me.

Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it...... how sad that we had forgotten so quickly....you would hope that multiple generations would pass, so that we could claim we actually learned from it.....but to be repeating it within a single lifetime is so pitiful.
We don't need to set the ethics bar for our elected officials on the ground. Congress needs to get moving and bar anyone from serving in any office in our Federal Government if they've been convicted of a crime.
The MAGA Congresspersons are pushing to censure (& possibly also try to force out) Adam Schiff- voting as soon as Wednesday of this week! (This is in retaliation for his leading the impeachment proceedings of their cult leader!)
Btw - true long form of "maga" = *Maniacal Acrimonious Gaslighters Association*
PERIOD 💯
I like how Rachel always asks the guest if she explained the story correctly
Trump and FOX could learn from that move. Just to name a couple.
There is NOT one "justice" system. There's one for poor people and another for the rich. Public defenders (AKA plea dealers) for the poor that have so many cases that they can't spend sufficient time on a case and million dollar lawyers that can often work the system and get their clients treated with kid gloves ...
I always like how Rachel involves history and precedent in her comments about today's news. Very interesting and hugely insightful.
People needed to hear this! Great reporting again as you always do!
Rachel you're doing an awesome job THANKS!!
I do Remember all of this 😮😮 Thank you Rachel ⚖️
Awesome piece Rachel, this is one of the reasons we’re so glad she’s ours. 👊🏼
He needs to go to jail so this never happens again all the politicians need to learn that this Behavior will not be tolerated.
The Watergate affair happened when Americans were still alarmed and appalled by such things, but after a Trump term as president,American sensibilities are dulled. In the ethics of today's atmosphere, Agnew's story would have had a different end.
Yes...lying has been made into an art form with trump.
Thank you for mentioning and proving (like some of your colleagues) that history is vital for all of us to learn from. Three lessons that I was taught when schools did care and teach. 1) do not assume without all the facts 2) history does repeat in similar ways 3)keep an ear and eye on current events Granted I enjoy history!
Very wise analysis. It’s also good that we remember our history at this time that’s repeating itself.
My biggest worry, though, is the wide scope of this “repetition”. The last thing we should want and allow is a world full of authoritarian governments, where racism and discrimination and the loss of freedom and other human rights is the norm, not the exception.
Trump should have done what Biden did and just follow the dang law.
Biden didn't follow the law 😂
@@scabcrawler632 please tell us why and no conspiracies please
@@scabcrawler632 Sure .
@@scabcrawler632 He actually did. The moment he saw he had the documents he called the DOJ and started the process to get them dealt with. Trump hid them, lied, showed them to people, moved them to hide them further, defied a subpoena...and much more. Read the indictments. It would help you sound less ignorant. Biden and Pence did the right thing. Trump broke the law repeatedly.
@@scabcrawler632 Explain, Ivan.
Thanks again for the excellent program Rachel Maddow.
All I want is for trump to not hold public office, what else you want to do with him does not matter. keep him out of the whitehouse
Some of are old enough to remember Agnew. And some even remember how he was elected Governor of Maryland (his opponent was a racist Dixicrat and lots of Dems crossed over).
It's interesting to note that today the KKK and other white supremacists are committed to support Trump and republicans. It's quiet the reversal.
I was a junior in high school and allready had committed on paper to join the Air Force when Agnew resigned. The atmosphere in my social circles was certainly not sadness but rather a satisfaction that at least the DOJ had what they needed to convict and were waiting on Nixon to follow suit. Most of my companions were sons and daughters of parents whom were devastated by the murder of John, then for me, Martin, and Bobby. Even at that period of the late 60s becoming active in politics and at the least forming an opinion about crimnial behavior in high places. So myself and my social circles had made a vow among ourselves to always pay attention, be aware, get involved, and do something about it. And as we all know, life takes over, we go about our seperate ways and as you all can see now, We Failed. At that time was the first time i had penned an opinion about Politicians Desiminating False Information and Lying to the Public, why there should be a law targeting that particular group, penalties for violating such a law, and getting legislators to implement it. I, or we failed in that. And you can see clearly where the absence of such a law has failed the Country and endangered Democracy itself. There needs to be such a law!! It needs to be constructed, voted on, and put into effect. All this we are enduring now is a direct result of all aspect of politics in the absense of such giving that group cart blanche' without consequence
Wesley, you are on the right track. I’m from Canada and like most of my confrères we watch unfolding American developments with dismay. Your politicians lie and lie and lie. There lies are devastating to democratic polity. And, alarmingly, there are no legal mechanisms available in your criminal law to stop them.
Anyone who doesn’t realize this colossal shortcoming just remind yourselves that the only mechanism to shut down Fox was a civil, not a government, mechanism. Resorting to the hope that a law suit by private party (Dominion Voting Machines) to save the decline of democracy caused by calculated misinformation is beyond feeble.
Your notions of free speech are bizarre. These notions allow a malevolent force easy access to fascism.
I’ve yet to hear definitively whether there are any docs that are still unaccounted for. I think this is crucial to any resolution. Kind of like serial killers showing where the bodies are buried.
While I am not the biggest Rachel fan, I do really think she does a great job of going over history and how it's pertinent to what's happening right now. She is pretty enlightening and usually very thoroughly researched. I had no idea about the Agnew case before watching this video.
I love your reporting, You’re the best.
HAPPY INDICTMENT DAY!!!!!🎉🇺🇸🎂🎉🇺🇸🥊
Haha 😂😂😂😂!
Love you Rachael!!!! My mom turned democrate after Agnew, My dad stayed republican but never tried to tell me who I should believe. Even if my parents eliminated each other all my life. Mom worked at the polls until she couldn't any longer.
My dad also told me I could do anything I set my mind to do. He was a great man, old school republican but really good to me.
Thank you SOOO, much Rachel. These examples should make us realize there is life after potential tyranny is possible.
45 will learn not to kick lady liberty wheels - there are twice as many supporters of President Biden and I am one in Iowa making alot of noise.
Absolutely!!
Thanks as always, Rachel!!

I appreciate you reminding (and comforting) us with this..I was 10 yrs old, but remember the turbulance well.
Thank you, Rachel Maddow!!!
This is important history. Thank you.
Prison for insurrectionists including those currently in congress.
Excellent piece. Thought provoking.
people have short memories. that's why we need shows like this
They may not wear crowns and may make a big song and dance about not wearing them like the British, but American Presidents are indeed endowed with all the power of the Crown of a King. Time the rules were revised to take this into account.
Love listening and watching Rachel! Would love to see more of her.
Oh no please she talks such rubbish
@@lesleybecker415 why are you listening to her? I know why
@@lesleybecker415But you are here? Why?
It’s actually funny watching her push this trashy propaganda! It’s comical watching the sheep lick up her every word like it’s the truth! This entire piece is a psyop and you fell for it! Stupidity runs deep in dems!
Trash news
Great History! I love the "new" trail that you are blazing! I think it is very important for the time we are living! Thank you!
I remember that day. I had a little league baseball game then came home to the news.
I thank God for journalists like Rachel! Thank you!
Lock him up

When the Agnew debacle occurred, I was not yet a voter at age 19. Now 70, and the same 🤬 federal crimes occurring in our highest office. THE GUILTY need to STEP DOWN, and voters need to WAKE UP.
One of the best things about Rachel is that she is a ravenous student of history.
I doubt Trump's ego will let him plead out but would like to be proven wrong.
Times have changed. Trump will never "fade away" and can't be trusted to keep any promise he makes.
Trump is 77; he will fade away sooner rather than later.
🤡did you know the Demokkkrats are the founder's of the kkk? 🤭
Are you Demokkkrats still mad Lincoln freed and armed the slaves?
What an interview!!!
Spiro Agnew gave a commencement speech at my university, Drexel, in June of 1973..."Honesty and Integrity in Business and Government".....then was out of office four months later.
"Justice is blind " is supposed to mean that justice can't see what rank or title the defendant has or had. Therefore, djt should be treated like any other criminal traitor to The USA.
As long as Aileen Cannon is the trial judge then, even if convicted on every count of every charge, he'll never spend a minute in prison. Home confinement is the worst that she'll sentence him to. While an Appeals Court can reduce a judge's sentence, they can't increase it.
Well, that's horrifying.
I share the same concerns. This judge is clearly in the bag for Trump so this whole trial is probably a joke. My only hope is that the crimes are so crazy that when the public hears about them day in and day out, "he shared nuclear secrets, he shared our county's vulnerabilities,"... the public will be repulsed by it, and some of his supporters will abandon him. Then again, if all they watch is Faux News they may never hear it.
“ A man with a place in history”… I like that. Good interview. Those Spiro T. Supporters kind of remind me of some people.
I'M SICK OF THE DEALS!!!! THAT WHY WE KEEP GETTING CROOKS IN OFFICE !!!!!
I love Rachel
Jim Jones + Tony Clifton = DJT
Why oh why doesn't the public demand that laws be instituted in the U.S..that would clearly spell out the ANSWERS to all of these questions???🤦🤦🏻♀️
Multiple thumbs up. "History is here to help." Well done.
Rachel is so good at narrating history!🤓
Remember folks, When Rachel was sued for lying and saying OAN was "really, literally paid Russian Propaganda" the court found that due to the style of her show a "reasonable viewer would not find her statement factual" so, the question is, are you reasonable?
Spiro looks like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.
Thank you so much for airing this, Rachel. I vaguely remember when Spiro Agnew resigned. I was very young and didn't understand what it was all about. So important to remember that this has all happened before.
Fascinating that Rachel connects these dots. This is what journalism ought to be. Look at facts, reflect on historical precedent and interview experts.
THIS SHOULD BE REQUIRED VIEWING - FOR ALL AMERICANS!... ON ALL MEDIA ! - MAGA.
