Another fact about Democrats, they don't hold their - representatives accountable.

#1 Barack Obama (D-IL) Obama was easily the most scandal-plagued president in history, but with the help of the media you’d never know it. From the beginning of his presidency, it was clear Obama was getting a free pass to abuse power. He broke the law when he discussed the selling of his Senate seat with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, when he fired an Inspector General, and when he bribed Joe Sestak not to run for the U.S. Senate. His administration routinely obstructed investigations, gave green energy companies that donated to his campaign millions of taxpayer dollars, covered up the extent of the damage of the BP oil spill and the truth about the Benghazi attack. And that’s just a few things from his first term. Despite these scandals and the fact he failed to get the economy back on track, he was reelected in 2012. His rampant corruption continued through his second term, culminating in, perhaps, the most egregious scandal of them all, the illegal spying on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. Despite his rampant corruption and lousy record as president, he’s still revered by most in the Democratic Party.

#10 10.William J. Jefferson (D-LA)
In 2005, Congressman William Jefferson got caught up in a corruption scandal that resulted in the FBI raiding his congressional offices and his home. $90,000 in cash was discovered in his home freezer. Despite the ongoing investigation and evidence of accepting bribes, Jefferson was reelected in 2006—the same year Democrats won back Congress on an anti-corruption platform. In 2007, he was indicted on sixteen felony corruption charges, including bribery, racketeering, money laundering, and obstruction of justice. While the voters of his district turned a blind eye to his corruption in 2006, this story does have a somewhat happy ending because he did narrowly lose reelection in 2008, and was later convicted and sentenced to 13 years in prison.
