Abstract

The article focuses on the historical context of the Secret Service's role in escorting U.S. leaders facing criminal charges, specifically comparing the upcoming arraignment of former President Donald Trump to the 1973 resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew. It recounts how Secret Service agents, particularly Jerry Parr, managed Agnew's final hours in office while grappling with their personal admiration for him, which ultimately led to a breach of protocol. The piece highlights the lessons learned from Agnew's case, including the importance of transparency and the potential consequences of keeping significant events secret, as evidenced by the chaos that ensued after Agnew's resignation was publicly revealed.
