They are also much less defensible. Like when Oliver North broke the law, he could argue that he was doing it for the good of the country. It is pretty hard to argue that you were nailing a page for the good of the country.
That is why they are manna from heaven for the other side. Pure political capital.
That is also why there is nothing to gain by defending a member in your own party that has been involved in a sex scandal. If they crossed the line you should purge them so they don't reflect badly on the party.
