Another highlight of the Chernow biography

biblioteknician:

While Hamilton was creating his financial system, the Republicans in Congress were convinced he was doing something illegal. Convinced.

So they brought forth a resolution demanding that he provide them ridiculously in-depth accounts of every fucking thing his department had done. They were determined to find evidence that could be used against him.

And, just to be spiteful, they purposefully gave him a deadline that was so absurd that they knew it would be impossible to meet. 

Which would, of course, provide evidence of his guilt.

And Alexander

Fucking

Hamilton

Delivered his report
