Politics are heavily loaded in today’s America; we seem to be so angry at one another. Jeffrey Toobin’s newest, The Pardon: The Politics of Presidential Mercy, is a fascinating and oblique way of examining politics, studying the history and use of the Presidential pardon. Both Democrats and Republicans have made huge partisan mistakes with pardons, contributing to the cynical way that pardons are viewed today. Want to know some of the mistakes that led us to such an angry election? Tune in and hear why one of the best political journalists in the country thinks it might have all started with Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.
