## Resource

Last week we rereleased our Oregon Land Fraud episode with Allison Gill (The Daily Beans) — your deep dive into how the land scam worked. This week, we follow up by zooming in on the scandal magnet at the center of it all: Senator John H. Mitchell. Four terms. Endless controversy. Bribery accusations. Political sabotage. And proof that corruption doesn’t go away — it just changes costumes.
