And before you ask, no. It’s not Kamala Harris. (At least not yet.) The media was making a big deal over the past week about how the Secret Service would have to escort Donald Trump to his court appearance in Manhattan and the “unprecedented” nature of the event. But while it’s true that the Secret Service has never had to do this with any previous president, they did have to do it with a Veep. In October of 1973, agents had to escort Spiro Agnew to the federal courthouse in Baltimore, Maryland where he would plead guilty to a single count of tax evasion and resign from office as part of a plea deal that had been worked out. The agents who escorted him were ordered to remain silent about it and not even tell their superiors. Jerry Parr was one of those Secret Service agents and he later told the story many decades later.
