It's my impression after years of observing the political process.
Some things that pop to the top of my head include:
The Watergate break in
The recent Republican Gerrymandering in Texas
Another recent attempt in Colorado
Bill Daley's Chicago Democat machine and the zombie vote
The Capital scandal involving Repubs looking at Dem strategies via an unsecured computer system
The scandal in California where the Dems were overheard strategizing to prolong the energy crisis so they could blame it on Republicans.
Voter intimidation on both sides in the 2000 election, particularly Florida
Again, that is just off the top of my head.
I don't think it is a big secret that many politicians main goal is not what is best for the people, but to stay in office. That it coincides often with helping their constituents at times I think is incidental.
