About

When Harry Daugherty secured a federal court injunction against a burgeoning nationwide railroad strike in September of 1922, little did the sitting attorney general realize the series of events he set into motion. In Montana, the state's soon-to-be-elected populist senator Burton Wheeler set his sights on Daugherty -- first using him as a whipping post for his election to the Senate, then later seeking to impeach the attorney general setting up a showdown that "profoundly reshape[d] the Justice Department, Bureau of Investigation, and even the Senate, and forever change[d] the way political scandals played out across America," writes Nathan Masters in his new book, "Crooked: The Roaring Twenties Tales of a Corrupt Attorney General, a Crusading Senator, and the Birth of the American Political Scandal."
