The Justice Department's Investigation of Vice President Spiro Agnew
Ruben Navarrette: Spiro Agnew said he would not resign if indicted. He says in 1973, the Justice Department was trying to bring charges against him for running a kickback scheme from inside the White House. Prosecutors turned up enough evidence to bring dozens of federal criminal charges; but they struck a deal with Agnew that dropped all other pending charges. Navarrette.: The constitutional problems raised by the Agnew investigation are bewildering. We've never had a problem like this one before."
