Obama Drones/Extrajudicial killing
The Obama administration extensive use of drones in countries the US was not at war with, as well as the killing U.S. citizens Anwar Al-Aulaqi, Samir Khan, and 16-year-old Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi is not mentioned at all. 192.223.236.130 (talk) 15:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * George W. Bush used drones to kill Al Qaeda and Taliban forces based in Northern Pakistan, setting the precedent.Johnsagent (talk) 16:25, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Mayorkas
Would the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas constitute a scandal? NathanBru (talk) 00:50, 14 February 2024 (UTC)


 * No. Mayorkas has not been impeached at all. Only the House has voted.Johnsagent (talk) 16:17, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No. The House does impeach, the Senate convicts. For Donald Trump, both the first and second impeachments are listed as scandals. NathanBru (talk) 18:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Quite a few people missing
Gary Condit? Bob Menendez? Henry Cuellar? Sure seems a lot of prominent Democrats are missing from this list. All of them made headlines in the newspapers, so they were kind of hard to miss. Sure seems intentional to me. And those were just a few off the top of my head.173.73.32.10 (talk) 19:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)


 * The entire article seems to be biased in this manner. 66.219.250.133 (talk) 06:07, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
 * In the Scope and organization of political scandals section, the article uses the standard where:
 * "Many decisions are controversial, many decisions are unpopular, that alone does not make them scandals. Breaking the law is a scandal. The finding of a court is the sole method used to determine a violation of law, but it is not the sole method of determining a scandal. Also included as scandals are politicians who resign, quit, run, or commit suicide while being investigated or threatened with investigation."
 * Gary Condit was never indicted and never resigned under the suspicion for his alleged actions, instead he lost his primary. For the cases of Henry Cuellar and Bob Menendez, so far they have been indicted but not convicted, and neither have resigned, quit, ran, or committed suicide as of my post.
 * Separately, I am confused why the ATF gunwalking scandal is missing from the Obama administration section DerpyContributor (talk) 16:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Where is the ATF gunwalking scandal?
I read the Obama section of this article a few years ago and it was noted on it at the time, why am I not able to find it now? DerpyContributor (talk) 15:51, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
