This is a graphic representation of numbers reported and discussed in an important post earlier today by Kossack Vaguememory (link: www.dailykos.com/...).
I have been kind of obsessed with the numbers and thought the visual would help.
This is perhaps the most important message for Dems and corruption — the parties are not the same, Republicans are fundamentally corrupt, have little actual regard for real law, and lack any real values other than power and wealth.
Democrats?
Liberty and justice for all.
Should be as simple as that.
Republicans may talk the liberty and values game, but they take the field with and as criminals.
Facts are awkward things. If you drop your quarter down the R slot, you’re gonna get crooks.
Here’s an alternate view showing:
- Total number of prosecution events instead of being normalized to years in office
- Title modified to refer to prosecutions in the respective administrations

The graph has been updated to respond to critiques (thank you, gentle and sharp-eyed readers):
- The arithmetic has been corrected — I had all figures being normalized by Obama’s 8-year term (wretched $ sign)
- Re-ordered the presidents on the X-axis to be chronological by party
Hope this passes muster...and thanks again to our intelligent body of readers!
