congressional republicans for the trip she took to syria and how they make these accusations and jesse jackson getting back at those american and hostages then extended ministration thought about fighting charges and even ross perot coming back from of vietnam war effort. but george logan has nothing but the best of intentions lead is very much in accusation and that was him on the senate floor perpetrating him as the trader. not the only person the other was the man named tressed he did not betray his country under the british and there is no question he betrayed the president but if it was in the best interest of his country, in 1847 at that point when president pulled decided to be extremely generous but he and the of secretary of state wanted to negotiate with of minimum that he would except with the rio grande river and then if you other concessions that was particularly important to pay that mexican and government. now that seems like of very safe choice as a loyal democrat second in command and very strong supporter of the war that was controversial. it turned out not to be quite as saf

for instance i spent a lot of , time covering jesse jackson's campaign. this was the second time he ran for president. he ran the first time in 1984. everywhere he went, even though he was the most disorganized candidate i've ever seen, but everywhere he went, people showed up by the thousands. they would show up in the middle of the night in palm springs, california. the least likely place you would expect to find -- they would show up in stadiums. he would always have young people who were excited. he always gave an amazing and compelling speech. even though we were often overtired because of the disorganization of his campaign, and we often didn't know when we were going to see another meal, when he walked into a room where there were 1000 young people, saying i am somebody that kind , of woke you up. it was an amazing experience. he ended up staying in the race all the way through to the convention. it was the first time i ever covered a national convention even though i grew up watching them on television. it was really exciting. nothing says america

the reagan administration make these accusations against jesse jackson for jam wright from a speaker of the house helped negotiate. some critics accuse ross perot violated when they were missing american vietnam come from any of this. as we see from george logan who had nothing but the best of intentions has no protection from being accused of treason which is very much accusation they denounced on the senate floor as a traitor. he's actually not the only person in who found his way into my book for trying to make peace. the other was a man named nicholas trace. traced did not betray his country or government so much and he betrayed his president which is one of the same. there is no question he betrayed his president. he was quite open about this. whether he was doing this the best interest of this country is another matter. in 1847 we were in the middle of the war with mexico and at that point we had much far south of the country and conquer territory and james k. polk decided it was time to make peace an extremely generous terms for the united states. he and secretary of state jam
