that's vice president agnew did.d have a better outcome, then if he had gone to trial on the bribery charges that he was facing. nixon avoided a trial by having himself be pardoned, but as you noted, ayman, as a result of that, gerald ford did not win reelection. he lost. and one of the largest reasons was because he did not serve the american public's interest, by giving a pardon. so all of the republican candidates who are now saying, i would pardon him, watch out. that's how you lose an election, and it's not going to help the american people. it's the wrong thing to do. we went to trial much quicker now, there were classified documents. we indicted in march, we had a verdict on january 1st. and in between, we went to the supreme court in the watergate case. so, it can be done much faster. but, i actually do think that mr. ehrenberg is absolutely correct and that this will be delayed, and will certainly not happen before the primaries, and before that decision is made. probably not even before the election. >> jen

now, the reason the whole business with agnew and the potential vice presidential vacancy matters is because it coincided this was two months after the election. ford's ford he's never going to be speaker. but all of a sudden there's a possibility that he could end his career in a very honorable and not particularly demanding position as vice president, which would also the added advantage of providing a platform, a springboard, if you will, for a post congressional career as a lawyer and lobbyist. and so the plan was mrs. ford would finally get her husband back. in 1977 and he would split his time between washington and grand rapids. it didn't work out that way. and so i want to leave some time for questions. well, but skipping so he becomes president. there is there is a speech we all remember. he talked about hour long national nightmare is over. and one of the little asides that you've touched on is that speechwriter for that may not have properly. well, this is one of those factoids. and i'm glad bob a lot around bob hartman as fascinating character frankly someone should write
