There are a lot fewer R's to get in trouble, but don't worry. Elect more R's and they will happily catch up with the D's in the corruption games. A lot were arrested or thrown out of office.

This is why corruption is systemic to the system, and it does not matter which party is perceived as the corrupt one. Once voted out of power, the other side quickly fills the vacuum.
