The AP Scandal is not likely illegal as they seemed to have gone through proper channels in the investigation. If this is not the truth and records were acquired without following the law than this is VERY, someone going to jail, serious.
However, even if laws and policies were followed, if the purpose of the action was to intimidate the press, and heavy handedly tried to force members of the press, or sources to give up information.....that is also very serious and heads should roll. I fear the latter.
The IRS "sandal" should be a bipartisan opportunity to look at the mess that has become of campaign financing post-Citizen's United. The whole web of non-profit, "social welfare" groups that are making a mess on both, actually, more than two sides of issues during campaigns, should be reviewed, the laws tightened up and a consistent process for assigning NonProfit developed.
Benghazzi........nada. Seems mistakes were made, but they were early on realized and addressed.
