"Scandal-free" Obama sent 18 emails to Hillary's secret, illegal email system

Jim Geraghty writes in National Review about a few of the Obama administration scandals:

Fast and Furious. The IRS scandal. The $2 billion spent building Healthcare.gov. The Veterans Administration letting veterans die waiting for care. The Office of Personnel Management hacking. Lying about Bowe Berghdahl. “Companies like Solyndra are leading the way toward a brighter, more prosperous future.”

Jonathan Gruber’s declaration that Obamacare depended upon the “stupidity of American voter.” The NSA and Edward Snowden. The stimulus “was riddled with a massive labor scheme that harmed workers and cheated unsuspecting American taxpayers.” Prostitution and incompetence in the U.S. Secret Service.​ Hillary and her private e-mail server. The Department of Justice secretly reviewed the phone records of at least 20 phone lines of Associated Press reporters — their work, home, and cell-phone lines. The Department of Justice’s decision to call Fox News reporter James Rosen a criminal “co-conspirator” in leaking classified information. The Department of Justice punishing whistleblowers. Benghazi — the failure to provide Chris Stephens with the security he requested, the inability to put together a rescue operation that night, and the false explanation to the public afterwards blaming a video.

Ace of Spades adds,

Now, with Obama having sent 18 emails to Hillary's secret, illegal email system, thus exposing himself as having lied, yet again, when he claimed, yet again, to have learned about the system when you did, from the papers...

Ace commenter Zombie writes,

This isn't because Obama hasn't committed daily treason and innumerable outrages against common sense, legality and the nation's well-being; it's because a "scandal" is a multi-pronged concept that involves the cooperation of the media and "opposition" politicians.

In other words: No matter what outrageous malfeasances Obama commits on a daily basis, none of them rise to the level of "scandal" unless the media deems it as such and/or unless the opponents in government pursue fruitful official investigations.

Since the MSM is Obama's lap-dog, and the GOPe are toothless losers, Obama commits crimes against the nation all the time, and yet is in factual reality "scandal-free."
