Didn't pay much attention to history in those days. :) I'm not surprised at the outcome because Grant era produced several scandals. Too bad Grant couldn't accept the truth and let the justice system do its job. Thanks for an interesting post.Martha W.

It seems that dishonesty and corruption are often found in government offices. <br /><br />texaggs2000 at gmail dot com Britney Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02972950656114757798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-25832985294033049452014-03-26T10:43:50.509-04:002014-03-26T10:43:50.509-04:00I had never heard about President Grant testifying...I had never heard about President Grant testifying by deposition for his friend about the Whiskey Ring.

I often wonder if it's possible to be an honest person when given as much power as the president.
