What Changed

I keep coming back to this, but a thing THE LIBS used to point out regularly back in the day, comparing the Clinton and Reagan administration corruption records, was that a lot of Reagan people had serious legal trouble and even jail time.

Sure Democratic administrations are pure and good (cough), but was the Bush administration less corrupt than Reagan's? The Trump administration (lol)?

"Above a certain pay grade, you can do what you want" is the basic cultural norm. Apparently more than it used to be!
