Does anyone know the number of people convicted from presidential administrations, starting with Nixon?
Is this limited to White House staff? Do you mean before, during or after their time in the White House?
And what about a guy like John Mitchell, Nixon’s attorney General, convicted for activities related to running CREEP. Not convidted for any acts explicitly related to his performance as AG. Also, not on the White house staff, but definitely a White house crony.
Another issue is overturned convictions. A bunch of the Iran Contra guys including, North and Poindexter, were convicted. IIRC the Supremes overturned them because of immunity issues related to their Congressional testimony.
I guess I’m looking for gross convictions, before being overturned. Also, under Nixon, I would want to include CREEP. I got an interest in this when a friend mentioned 200 people from the Reagan WH were convicted. Is this a true figure and how does it compare to other administrations? I asked since the Nixon administration because I didn’t want someone to go all the way back to the Teapot Dome scandal. Asking for the Nixon administration on would be like saying “the modern era.”
