And you conveniently skipped any Republicans,
Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland, Republican
Rep. Duke Cunningham, R-Calif.
Illinois Gov. George H. Ryan, Republican
Lewis Libby
Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, Republican
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, Republican
Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas
Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo, Republican
Rep. Rick Renzi, R-Ariz.
Trey Radel, R-Fla.
And
Voters reelected two Republican Congressmen, Chris Collins of New York and Duncan Hunter of California, who are facing federal indictments for alleged insider trading and campaign corruption, respectively.

Pete, how do you expect to have any credibility when you have the number at 3 and TDF posts a list that you ignore and then wonder why it doesn’t include republicans ? Seriously,what kind of source gave you the 3. WTF are you trying to push?

Here's where this started for me:
"Perhaps more concerning is that since 1969 Republican administrations have had 121 indictments and 89 convictions while the Democrats had 3 and 1"
Then TDF replied with a bunch of Congressmen
Not one of TDFs was in an administration
All of mine were based on members of Presidential administrations, perhaps that was not clear enough or maybe some, like Trump seems to, think Presidents control Congress.

I didn't skip them, I wasn't disputing the Republicans number, I was disputing the Democrats number.

What positions do you consider as part of an administration? The Cabinet? Advisors?

What's an "Administrative" Branch? Is this something that AOC is pushing for?
