"most transparent president in history"

Once, sure, but not so much any more.

Clinton, essentially, was impeached because Democrats had gained too much favor over Republicans. The whole 'vote for us and we'll cut taxes to the rich' had played out, so Republicans asked Clinton about his extramarital affair in order to tarnish the party, he lied about it and got impeached. 

Luckily, we had the internet and established alt-right news by the time Obama came along, that way they could just make vague innuendos about being a terrorist, being a muslim, being a radical Christian, etc., and not waste taxpayer money with political shams.
