In 1893 a sensational trial in the District of Columbia pitted a young woman against a powerful US Congressman. The salacious allegations captivated the nation, and went to the very heart of the power structure of the Gilded age. The Breckinridge-Pollard affair is nearly forgotten today, but at the time it was, as a contemporary account of the trial explained, “The Most Noted Breach of Promise suit in the history of court records.”

My Dad's grandmother went through this in 1900. She had a child and took the father to Federal court for breach of promise. It was a bench trial (no jury) and the case was called three times, and when the defendant never showed, the judge ruled in her favor. The child involved was my grandmother, who died in 1938 so I never knew her. My great-grandmother however, actually lived with us for a time. I never discovered all this until long after she was gone, and read about it in the copies of the local paper at the time. The name of the defendant was never mentioned, only my great-grandmother's name. I had to go to the courthouse and dig out the account of the trial from 1900! It made for fascinating reading, and made history come alive, much as The History Guy does!

I could tell from the outset that Breckinridge was a POS.

The charges levied by the "progressive" party are clearly timed to obstruct his re-election. The "crimes" were dug up and sat on until his re-election was announced. What we are witnessing is an attempted legal assassination of a presidential candidate. I'm not claiming the things he's being charged with didn't happen. However, the rule of law is being applied unequally, and the justice department is being wielded as a political tool. All politicians are liars seeking power and money.
