scandal worthy of FBI, DOJ, and Congressional investigations. Yep, Bill Clinton fired the White House Travel office. The office that arranges travel for the media.

There were accusations of wrong doing in the Bush travel office. Those accusations were not made by either Clinton. The Clinton administration referred the matter to the justice department.

Many years later Ken Starr the OIC cleared the Clintons of any wrong doing in the "travelgate" bullshit. They were also cleared in all the other bullshit faux scandals of the time.
