âI made a comment recently where I claimed that Republican administrations had been much more criminally corrupt over the last 50 plus years than the Democrats. I was challenged (dared actually) to prove it. So I did a bit of
research and when I say a bit I mean it didnât take long and there is no comparison.
When comparing criminal indictments of those serving in the executive branch of presidential administrations, itâs so lopsided as to be ridiculous. Yet all I ever hear about is how supposedly âcorruptâ the Democrats are. So why donât we break it down by president and the numbers?
Obama (D) â 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero convictions and zero prison sentences. So the next time somebody describes the Obama administration as âscandal freeâ they arenât speaking wishfully, theyâre simply telling the truth.
Bush, George W. (R) â 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences.
Clinton (D) â 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction. One prison sentence. Thatâs right nearly 8 yrs of investigations. Tens of millions spent and 30 yrs of claiming them the most corrupt ever
and there was exactly one person convicted of a crime.
Bush, George H. W. (R) â 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One conviction. One prison sentence.
Reagan (R) â 8 yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences.
Carter (D) â 4 yrs in office. One indictment. Zero convictions and zero prison sentences.
Ford (R) â 4 yrs in office. One indictment and one conviction. One prison sentence.
Nixon (R) â 6 yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions. 15 prison sentences.
Johnson (D) â 5 yrs in office. Zero indictments. Zero convictions. Zero prison sentences.
So, letâs see where that leaves us. In the last 53 years, Democrats have been in the Oval Office for 25 of those years, while Republicans held it for 28. In their 25 yrs in office Democrats had a total of three executive branch officials indicted with one conviction and one prison sentence. Thatâs one whole executive branch official convicted
of a crime in two and a half decades of Democrat leadership.
In the 28 yrs that Republicans have held office over the last 53 yrs they have had a total of (a drum roll would be more than appropriate), 120 criminal indictments of executive branch officials. 89 criminal convictions and 34 prison sentences handed down. Thatâs more prison sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans. If you want
to count articles of impeachment as indictments (they arenât really but we can count them as an action), both sides get one more. However, Clinton wasnât found guilty while Nixon resigned and was pardoned by
Ford (and a pardon carries with it a legal admission of guilt on the part of the pardoned). So those only serve to make Republicans look even worse.
With everything going on with Trump and his people right now, itâs a safe bet Republicans are gonna be padding their numbers a bit real soon.
So letâs just go over the numbers one more time, shall we? 120 indictments for Republicans. 89 convictions, and 34 prison sentences. Those arenât âfeelingsâ or âalternate facts.â Those are simply the stats by the numbers. Republicans are, and have been for my entire lifetime, the most criminally corrupt party to hold the office of the presidency.
So those are the actual numbers. Feel free to copy and paste!â
