Most indicted by administration - where to get the count?
I've read several times on DU that Reagan had more administration members indicted & convicted than all other presidents in the 20th century combined. Where can I get the actual data to support that? (some Dem. Congressman even had that in a listing of Reagan's "accomplishments")

1. If things keep up
at the steady pace they have so far, there will be no one left in the bogus bushie brigade. They will all be in jail. The business of orange jumpsuits will be booming.

3. Can't resist this snip...
""By the end of his term, 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved, the record of his administration was the worst ever.""

5. I was moving at the time.

Missing Reagan's funeral and the corpse feasting was one of the things that helped make it go easier.

11. Imagine how many convictions if more Dems HELPED Kerry's efforts instead
of trying to stop him all those years.

9. I'd like to find some sort of comparison, too...
A funding at work walked by one day talking about the Clinton administration, and she sighed, "All those indictments..." I wanted to snap back about numbers, but I didn't have them. Not that numbers and fact appear to make much difference in today's world.
