This isn't all that different than the Watergate scandal, which was the worst political scandal in history (except for all of the other things that Republicans did, which are all also the worst political scandal in history) if you ask Democrats.
The thing about watergate was it was novel that the people found out. It's more common now, so I don't think its' about the magnitude of the political crimes but the media-pushed attitude of the people.
People actually believed the Presdient or whoever wouldn't do that. now, people are under no such illusions . We generally think of politicians as criminals.
