Nah. I don't think they are necessarily more corrupt than Democrats; they are in power.
That said, I tend to believe that the party that prides itself on keeping what it's got would tend to corrupt more easily than would the devotees of the notion that everybody has to profit.
I hope that the Justice Department means it when it says they will follow the trail wherever it leads, but I don't have any great illusions about it. For my druthers I hope this is one time when the corrupt ones - whatever their party- are cut off at the knees. Exposure and disgrace to them, I say.
(One complication: in this country very often the disgraced (ha!) person goes on to make a fortune from books and public appearances.)
