>...In the U.S., I can't think of even a member of the cabinet being tried;
It will be hard to beat the Nixon administration for convictions: 2 attorney generals, chief of staff, 2 white house counsels, undersecretary of transportation, secretary to the president, special counsel to the president, secretary of commerce and the vice president!

- hackuser 10y agoHey, that's a great page that I never imagined existed. I stand corrected; plenty of Cabinet secretaries were convicted, as well as 8 federal judges in 30 years (and therefore I assume many more in history). Still, only one VP (Agnew, which I should have remembered) and of course no Presidents. Thanks.
- shshhdhs 10y agoThe undersecretary that you mentioned is now The "Senior Fellow on Ethics and Leadership at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress and Counselor to the Director at the School for Ethics and Global Leadership." [1] Receiving a senior fellowship in Ethics is quite the turnaround from six months in prison. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egil_Krogh https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egil_Krogh
