I suspect that if the Dems had control of the presidency and both houses of congress there would be a similar scandal only different. Humans are human, and politicians are a "special" kind of that breed.

The biggest reform should be in not allowing either party to control everything, or to allow the minority party if one does control everything to appoint special prosecutors.

The Republicans, in this case, have been able to block most investigations, leading to a really corrupt, secretive, abusive situation. Which is too bad, for everyone, including Republicans.
