Nixon wins that metric, but Reagan had his share.

However, if you use that metric, the best president in modern times was
GW Bush, with zero convictions from the Cabinet or key staff.

So far the economic distraction has served to stall any prosecutorial
activity against the former criminal regime of the Bushco gang.

Without reason to think otherwise, I suspect the reason has more to do
with a lack of actionable evidence. Criminal courts still run on a
beyond-reasonable-doubt standard, and it is highly unlikely that
anything related to the decisioning around the Iraqi invasion would meet
that standard.

I'm guessing you dislike that fact.

I doubt anyone is thrilled by Bush's residue, except maybe the heavily
moneyed sorts that are able to finesse those bailout ransoms the
taxpayers are being hit with.
