Description

America from 1921-1929 was, in some ways, a nation defined by crime. From greasing the wheels of business with bribes to making a fortune selling illegal liquor during Prohibition, everyone was wetting their beak - and that's just the politicians. In their Season 4 premiere, Ryan Rasmussen and Tony Rydberg jump 100 years back in time to examine America during the presidencies of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge to answer the question: What separates the politicians from the criminals?
