    The Determinants and Outcomes of Political Scandal in Post-Watergate America

    Politicians Behaving Badly: The Determinants and Outcomes of Political Scandal in Post-Watergate America Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Sarah McKinnon Bryner, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Kathleen McGraw, Advisor Thomas Nelson Nathaniel Swigger Copyright by Sarah McKinnon Bryner 2014 Abstract Scandals occur frequently in American politics. In this dissertation, I attempt to explore the concept of scandal in the post-Watergate era, by both creating a large database of political scandals and by exploring individual reactions to constructed scandals. I find that scandals tend to occur in bodies where politicians have greater access to power, that incumbency generally tends to protect politicians from electoral defeat, and that shared partisanship between individuals and the politicians involved in scandal protects the politician, but that this relationship is mediated by the role of emotions. Throughout, I discuss the potential role the media may play in the creation and mediation of scandal. ii Dedication For Austin iii Acknowledgements I would first like to acknowledge the tirelessness of the political science graduate student community at the Ohio State University. You are my comrades in arms. I entered with one of the largest cohorts in the history of our program, and am continually honored to count myself as one of that cohort’s members. The world-class Ohio State faculty, particularly Kathleen McGraw, Tom Nelson, and Nathanial Swigger are really the reason this document exists. Kathleen helped me take what felt like a jumble of thoughts and form them into a serviceable document, and Tom asked critical questions and has always encouraged me to think outside of the box.

    “Larceny In My Heart”: The Abscam Political Scandal, 1978-1983 by Jessica Carolyn Hills A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University In partial fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts Auburn, Alabama December 8, 2012 Keywords: Abscam, scandal, FBI, Congress, Weinberg, entrapment Copyright 2012 By Jessica Hills Approved by David Carter, Chair, Associate Professor of History Reagan Grimsley, Assistant Professor of History Joseph Kicklighter, Professor of History Abstract After the Watergate scandal, the FBI underwent major internal changes. As a result of some of those changes, the organization shifted its focus towards white-collar crime. As Operation Abscam progressed, it seemed as though it would be the perfect example of the FBI’s new direction. Initially begun to recover stolen art, Operation Abscam transformed into a sting operation to catch lesser public officials who accepted bribes, mostly in Atlantic City. In the last year of the investigation, Operation Abscam targeted members of the United States Congress. On February 2, 1980, the FBI arrested all Abscam targets, including seven Congressmen. The same day, the media broke the story and the operation became a nationwide scandal. Initially, the public supported the actions of the FBI, but, as details emerged about the conduct of the FBI during the sting, it became clear that the sting did not restore public faith in the FBI. ii Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………ii List of Major Players……………………………………………………………………..iv Introduction………………………………………………………………………………..1 Facts and Players………………………………………………………………………....10 Laws and Issues………………………………………………………………………….37 Reaction and Response…………………………………………………………………..66 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………….89 References………………………………………………………………………………..94 iii Major Players Melvin Weinberg: Conman turned FBI informant.
