republicans rank high with criminal indictments on that list.............goes to show you that they are no good.

I don't even want to think about the jerk who thinks he is above all this and can do as he pleases.

Even after election, National Enquirer, Limbaugh etc have continued peddling fake stuff such as alleging Pres. Obama infiltrated CIA with Muslims and communists. Their fake smears deliberately help immunize the true corruption of Trump and Repubs

Interesting that despite all their attempts to smear the Clintons, the 8 year Clinton Admin had only 2 indictments and 1 conviction

The Republicans would have liked nothing better than to find some means of besmirching him, but they couldn't do it because he is squeaky clean, and he made sure that his administration is, too. And yes, we are about to enter a period that will challenge Nixon's for the most corrupt.

What scandal made it near??????????????? I remember none of the sort that made the press-electronic or otherwise. You are right....NONE and when it comes to calmness, class, demeanor and steadiness, none....except Kennedy, but we know he wasn't scandal free....after much reflection President Carter was a good POTUS also. The hero of repubs...reagan's administration...was shameful in its scandals....no, President Obama is the POTUS, in my lifetime, with the most clean record of an administration of this country and has true integrity. And this First Family put many First Families to shame, especially with this one incoming....we go from class to klampetts...and as far as "near" goes...Rev. Wright is what you are referring to, right???:?!!!! Yeah. 'Much Ado About Nothing'.

The presidency of Ronald Reagan in the United States was marked by multiple scandals, resulting in the investigation, indictment, or conviction of over 138 administration officials, the largest number for any U.S. president.
