brian: but you were right, a lot about spiro agnew in the book.hat impact did it have on you when you found out that he was taking cache money in envelopes in the old executive office building? patrick: you know, i went up to the eob, he had a press conference at room 450, in the eob, and there were these reports and rumors that he was being investigated by george bell over to baltimore, the us attorney. and i went up and watched agnew defy -- make a defiance statement and have the press at 450 and then ron ziegler the press secretary seemed to undercut agnew. so i called out, i said, "al, what is going on? why are we not standing by the vice president? " he said, "come on over pat", and i went in to his office, the chief of staff, the corner office that haldeman had. and he said, "we've got him taking envelopes in the basement." and i was shattered by this. agnew was a good friend of mine. i travel with him in 1970s. i liked him. we were buddies. he had real courage and he was just a terrific fellow. i had a lot of fun with him and bryce harlow,

. >> i did a podcast last year about spiro agnew. it struck me that one of the sign that is the end was nye is when in speeches he named individual justice department officials and prosecutors who he believed should not just be blamed for what he was going through, but he wanted his supporters to go after them. he wanted to train national ire on people who individually and by name and title he would call out. it sort of seemed like the point at which people realized he would be over and he is forced to plead in court. he has to resign and the whole thing. it's now common not only from the president himself, but from the president's supporters and the conservative media and republicans in congress to not just name people like you individually and take you on by title and as a person, but to pursue you. to say that you are the scandal and you and the other colleagues involved in this investigation, you are the problem in the country. i feel like this is unprecedented. the only thing i have ever seen like this before is agnew. do you fe

for example, spiro agnew was -- left his position for bribery that was engaged in while he was in maryland before he was vice president. what is your view on that? >> i think -- >> your microphone is not on. >> i say quick two things in the professor gerhardt probably is a more thorough answer. i'd say one thing is that i think the vice president is not covered. >> i understand that. -- but i think that is one of the weaknesses of the olc opinion. >> it does seem to indicate, insulate a president from the judicial process in a way that i think is not consistent and a rule of law as understood by the founders. >> one of the questions i've had is, in addition, professor gerhardt, is is there any limit to this? let's say someday in the future, president a is annoyed with the vice president, pulled out a gun, shoot the vice president in the head in the oval office . that would be a federal crime. with that president capital a in the future be immune from prosecution? >> i hope -- i hope not, and i respectfully disagree with the olc opinion. obviously olc does fantastic work , but they're not r

and in that newspaper that evening there was an article about spy spiro -- about spiroing a knew, our former vice president. he was convicted of taking $100,000 in bribes. what was his penalty? his penalty was a $10,000 fine. and i was enraged. what? people get sent to prison for stealing a loaf of bread and the president -- or vice president in this case -- he took $100,000 illegally and he gets to keep 90% of it. what kind of story is that to america? that if you're wealthy and powerful that you can commit crimes and keep the vast share of what you've taken in that crime. and so i wrote an outraged letter to the newspaper and the newspaper published it. equal justice under law. it is very important -- it is a very important principle to our nation much but today we face a political crisis, a crisis about whether we have a president who is above the law. that somehow this phrase, this principle, the foundation of our country doesn't apply to this particular president. if that stands, then we will have lost a core principle of our democratic republic. tomorrow we're going to have test
