Here is what a DNC apologist had to say about how corrupt the GOP is compared to the DNC over the last 50 years.
When comparing criminal indictments of those serving in the executive branch of presidential administrations, it's so lopsided as to be ridiculous. Yet all I ever hear about is how supposedly "corrupt" the Democrats are. So why don't we break it down by president and the numbers?
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. That's 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. That's more prison sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans. If you want to count articles of impeachment as indictments (they aren't really but we can count them as an action), both sides get one more. However, Clinton wasn't 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.
To sum up, Democrats had 3 indictments, one conviction, and one prison sentence.
Republicans have had 120 indictments, 89 convictions, and 34 prison sentences.
Of course, this was meant to show just how much better the DNC is on a legal and moral level, that is, unless you follow closely just how corrupt the DNC continues to be with nothing done about it.
For the conservative, this is the best evidence we have of a two tiered legal system, and Trump is not even in the mix here.
