Unfortunately, not confined to a single party.
Carter replacing Nixon/Ford, Clinton taking office in the wake of Iran-Contra and the S&L Crash, Obama coming in after a slew of scandals under Bush/Cheney, and Biden coming in under Trump 1 all sang the same song. Everyone seems ready to pass the buck, for fear that a future administration might use prosecutorial powers against them in turn. Nobody seems to care that the next office-holder's corruption and power hording might upend their legacy or threaten their livelihoods.
