Former Obama administration officials have often bragged that the previous president presided over a “scandal free” administration. Just a couple examples:

“Not a smidgen of corruption” is an Obama claim right up there with “if you like your plan you can keep it”:
Obama Admin was most abusive Admin in US history. They used power to spy on, intimidate, & even prosecute political foes. They used DOJ to shakedown private companies and force them to donate billions to liberal groups. Obama corruption is staggering.
