JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.

Purely subjective but, I do believe with the advent of 24 hour cable news coverage, the increase of internet news outlets, and social media the political parties and their political advisers are becoming more adept at using the media to their advantage. So I believe we are probably more exposed to the information. But, I'm not sure the political investigations and/or scandals are occurring at an increased rate.
Back in my Army days I learned a phrase, "Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations." I always believed it came from SERE school. Later, I learned the phrase was coined by political consultant, Roger Stone.
Pretty much the philosophy of Donnie Boy's personal attorney (along with find clients with deep pockets and get paid up front).
