- Login to post comments
This list was compiled at the end of the Clinton administration.
RECORDS SET
- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance
- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*
- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation
- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify
- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly
- First president sued for sexual harassment.
- First president accused of rape.
- First first lady to come under criminal investigation
- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case
- First president to establish a legal defense fund.
- First president to be held in contempt of court
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions
- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad
- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court
When indictments come out against officials in one administration it is appropriate to compare that amount with previous administrations. It is not an effort to take away from the indictments handed down recently but it is fair to show everything in an apples to apples way.
i predict this administrations will leave office in shame;and so do 70% of my fellow voters

here we go again=it's all clinton's fault=get a new life
this sort of rubble reminds me of everytime a snowmobiler gets killed they blame the atv-ers(four wheelers).last year
legislators met to examine and do something about the snowmobile accidents(most of them due to high speed) .
the conclusion was atvers can not cross land they don't have permission(hence killing an industry).
the real culprit escaped .high speed machines and no speed limits. many snowmobiles do 120mph out of the box!
but by shifting the fact the snowmobile industry dusted off it's competitor!
this administration has continued to flaunt the law,ignore the people and in fact given the impression they are above the law and can do as they please.
the results won't be decided in a kangaroo court room,but by the little guy on the street.politicans biggest fear is about
to speak=an informed populace!
i predict this administrations will leave office in shame;and so do 70% of my fellow voters
