Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage.
Scandals have shaped America since its founding. From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen? Where did they trip up? Who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars, and Tides of History comes American Scandal. Hosted by Lindsay Graham, we dive into America's dark side to explore what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they’re caught.

I graduated HS in '75; I remember the kidnapping and the fallout. I trained as a therapist and thanks to the Patty Hearst case; we became aware of the Stockholm Syndrome.
Well done. Attica was a horrifying moment in history. Not just the bodies but the cover up is truly despicable. Again great job. Glad I subscribed to your channel as it has been a wonderful edition to my history listening while I work.
I’m of the belief that no-knock warrants, plainclothes officers, and unmarked vehicles are unconstitutional. Too many innocent people have died because they refuse to identify themselves.
Great series. Really enjoyed the link up and background information regarding Henry Hill, Jimmy Burke, the whole Goodfellas connection tied into the timeline of this story of the points shaving and those involved. Fascinating and well presented 👌
It's Baltimore's culture to cheat and steal and the bad cops thing is hackneyed. I want to hear about how everyone in Baltimore contributes to it being a shit hole. If you got the stones?
I remember the Dragnet episode based on them, it just focused on the Tammy-type character and the lady who played it was outstanding. I just remember her screaming “I’m gonna give you MORE money!”
Elsbergh was CIA, and Dr. Fielding was a CIA shrink. The whole thing was designed by the agency to remove Nixon. They probably thought about a more permenant solution, however due to JFK,RFK,MLK, Watergate was alot safer, from their point of view.
That's a damn lie my friend. Here in South Carolina by way of jim crow....A black didn't depend or starve over work they weren't bound to get in the first place. Hell no. The black man got up and made his own work . RE: Wendell Scott. And many more like him. How well do u think Petty could have done if at Talladega, he was driver, and sole pit crew man. And he run 3 pits that way until his no 34 gave up the ghost. Ur prison boy didn't have to be in Attica. He chose
Such a fascinating story. Out of prison he released his book in which he said that he never read the Bible until prison and then realized he was wrong. Imagine that!!! It’s like a PHD scientist saying he never read any books or articles about science. And yet this minister managed to completely convince thousands of people that he was an expert in God and life.

I can never have positive feelings toward Jim Bakker. That same year a close friend was hospitalized with end stage cancer. During that time her husband learned about their 15 yr old daughter's sexual affair with a married teacher and the family's home was struck by lightning and it was destroyed. The needed financial help quickly, so he went to the hospital to ask his wife where she kept the house insurance policy. Imagine his shock when his wife said she'd cashed the policies and sent the money to Heritage USA and PTL.
