Fast & Furious was indeed a scandal as you and others have rightly pointed out but other than that I think we disagree on what a scandal is, I think there needs to be general public outrage for a scandal and we didn't see that except for with Fast & Furious. Sadly, our society didn't care about the US killing one of its citizens extrajudicially. I'm sure we'll look back on that behavior with regret as a nation in the future but I don't see that regret now.

The IRS targeting of right wing orgs was indeed a scandal but it turned out to not be true [0].
