Hilarious. Yes, ABSCAM did nail some democrats. 40 years ago. I will point out that Democrats had held both Houses for decades and there wasn't any sense in bribing Republicans, but they did get caught with their hands in the cookie jar. So they were bad.

However, since then Republicans took such things and refined it to a high art. Two names from Dubya's administration. Jack Abramoff and Duke Cunningham. There were a lot more, but those two are great representatives of the "honesty and integrity" of the modern Republican party. You need to google them. They make ABSCAM look like a prank by preschoolers.
