Intentional wrongdoing, especially on the part of a politician or other
public figure - although not limited to them alone; well-thought-out
mischief; criminal
masterminding; the process of using invention to work in order to craft new methods of wrongdoing.
Certain politicians have gone above and beyond
pedestrian politics and have become disciples of creative malfeasance.
The mayor of
Podunk has transmuted the art of creative malfeasance into a science; he's been in prison 3 times for it, too. And he just got re-elected.
