I wasn't aware of this, but the sixth year of a two-term presidency is usually when scandals break. (And yes, we're all aware of the birth certificate, Fast and Furious, and Benghazi. None have gained traction, although for the wingnuts, they are already discrediting evidence of Socialist betrayal and incompetence and one-world UN takeover blah blah blah.) From the article:

Year Six of a two-term presidency has been a fruitful time for scandal. Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky came to light in January 1998, at the start of Clinton's sixth year in office. Iran-Contra was revealed in November 1986, in the sixth year of Reagan's presidency. The Watergate break-in occurred in 1972 while Richard Nixon was running for re-election, but the revelations played out slowly enough that he didn't resign until his sixth year in office, in August 1974. Similarly, the Bush administration revealed Plame's identity as a covert CIA operative in 2003, though the scandal wasn't fully over until 2007, when Scooter Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice, and President Bush commuted his sentence.

That confluence of timing is probably nothing more than a coincidence; we're dealing with a small number of cases. On the other hand, there might be something about second terms—turnover among staff, or the fact that the big legislative pushes of the first term are behind you—that makes malfeasance more likely.

Any bets on what the Year 6 scandal might be?
