Joe Biden actually says, "Know what I was most proud of? For eight years, there wasn't one single hint of a scandal or a lie."
I mean, even PolitiFact gave Obama 'lie of the year' when he blatantly misled the American people about his technocratic health-care plan. That lie upturned millions of lives.
“Operation Fast and Furious” put around 2,000 weapons into the hands of narco-traffickers (and an Islamic terrorist), leading to the murder of 100s of Mexicans and at least one American, border agent Brian Terry.
It's true, though, that during the incompetence, absurdity, recklessness, and fatalities of the program, the entire affair never really received scandal-like attention. Few did.
Holder became the first sitting attorney general in American history to be held in contempt of Congress — a vote that included 17 Democrats — and Obama still never paid a political price.
Obama could secretly send planes filled with cash to pay a ransom to a terror state (using money earmarked for terror victims) and most reporters and analysts would regurgitate echo chamber talking points.
Not all. When Politico reported that the Obama administration had undermined law enforcement efforts to shut down a drug-trafficking ring run by Hezbollah operating in the United States, most major news organizations never even mentioned the piece.
The Obama DOJ spied on the Associated Press, tapping around 20 different phone lines—including cell phone and home lines—that snared at least 100 staffers who worked for the outlet.
The Justice Department also spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, looking at his personal emails and tracking his movements.
Then again, CIA director, John Brennan covered up illegal spying of a legislative branch staffer over torture files. James Clapper lied to Congress about spying on American citizens. No scandals.
IRS leadership aggressively targeted conservative groups before elections. The IRS admitted as much in an apology letter.
Susan Rice went on national television and claimed that Benghazi was a “spontaneous reaction” to “hateful and offensive video,” even when she knew it was a sophisticated and pre-planned terror attack. No scandal.
Cronyistic green projects which enriched political allies. Secret Service’s embarrassing debauchery. Obama's constant unilateral abuse of power. Hillary Clinton’s attempts to circumvent transparency. The Veterans Affairs’ negligence. No scandals.
