and then, bam, right before the holiday weekend, jesse benton quit. down as mitch mcconnell's campaign manager after close of business on the friday before a holiday weekend. and incidentally, two months before election day. that, in itself, is big political news, but there's also a criminal investigation here that's still under way. the "washington post" reporting late last week that the federal investigation into that ron paul campaign bribery scheme is ongoing and that the focus of federal prosecutors at this point is on the people who were running the ron paul call pain back then. the criminal part of it may not be over yet. stick a pin in that for now. right? in terms of the political part of this scandal, though, there is also this. this is jesse benton standing alongside kentucky's other republican senator, rand paul. the thing that jesse benton did right before running the ron paul presidential campaign in 2012, bribery and all, was that he ran the 2010 campaign that got rand paul elected to the united states senate. so he did son rand's senat

benton actually interpreted it as a plot to reduce americans. if you get to the treaty afterwards, the british have given up, america finally becomes not only free, but independent. there is the assumption that the war of 1812 was necessary to complete the independence that was supposedly won between 1776 and 1783. it's going to take another war to consolidate that independence. and that's the myth that's run through american history for much of the 19th century. i'm still aware in the 20th century accounts that have added additional causation and complication as professional historians add to the record.

one of the key players in what was going to happen for the next 48 hours was benton becker. becker did some work for ford when he was majority leader, was close to fill buchen. buchen says, "you have to look to see if it is legal for president of the united states to pardon before indictment." becker did not need to be told what this was all about. he goes home for the weekend, and then he writes the thickest memo i have ever read in a presidential library. he gets to the end and essentially says, "you can do it. there is no limit to the presidential pardoning power. you can wait until they are convicted, you can do it in mid-trial, you can do it before indictment, you can do it whenever you want." but there is a small matter that needed to be negotiated with richard nixon before nixon would accept a pardon, because that is the next stage of this. ford has now been told he can pardon him. his aides are saying, "yes, ok. but will nixon accept it?" nixon would not accept a pardon from gerald ford without a deal that took care of his papers and tapes. now, i have heard stories

jesse benton, political advisor to rand paul.'s a loud minority of supporters. nothing is ever going to be right unless rand is on a regular basis standing on the floor of the senate smashing the the establishment. they want ted cruz on steroids, and that's not going to work in the long term. >> he's describing ted cruz too far to the right and trying to separate rand from that wing of the party in a certain way. it's also interesting because they realize that ron paul for excitement he generated, he never won a state and could never generate more than five to 15% of the republican base. so it's just not enough to win the republican nomination. so they have this very tricky project of keeping the tea party in the libertarian base with rand paul. at the same time trying to woo these establishment gop donors and activists and to convince them he's not his dad. >> but you say he's got the energy this time around with the republicans like another senator who was talked about and able to raise money, president obama was, not long ago.
