Depends on the culture. In a place like France for exemple, you can be sure there would be half the country in the streets and borderline storming the Elysée Palace (french version of the White House) in this situation. They are highly sensitive to public corruption in general, even presidents aren't safe, investigations are started very easily and are usually a death warrant to your political career, even if you're eventually found innocent (loss of public credibility).

So yeah, in a country like America that fancies itself a societal model for the free world, the overwhelming corruption of its entire system is both astonishing and a national shame.
