This isn't really a party issue. This is a systemic issue. I agree there is a pattern, but you really didn't try very hard to show both sides. Top of my head

Top of my head was Operation Fast and Furious which was an Obama era scandal.

- kadendogthing 8y ago>This isn't really a party issue. It very obviously is. You'd be insane or willfully ignorant to claim it's not. Your link is just a timeline chunked into administrative buckets, a lot of those having nothing to do with _actual_ actions taken by the administration. The one scandal you alluded to started in 2005. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gunrunner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gunrunner Considering that the amount of guns actually involved in the "scandal" is a mote of dust compared to the total amount of guns in the U.S., and that the one notable case that was the tipping point for this scandal was actually dismissed, and that the one official who was held in contempt of congress (which was voted along party lines: https://www.politico.com/story/2012/06/holder-held-in-contempt-of-congress-077988 https://www.politico.com/story/2012/06/holder-held-in-contem...) for continuing a program started under the bush administration, I don't think anything you've linked or alluded to really is equatable in any remote fashion. Please try again.
