He retired to Tucson in 1968. . . John McCain, R-Ariz., and Gov.

McCain did not disclose the trips (as he was required to under House rules) until the scandal broke in 1989. At that point, he paid Keating $13,433 for the flights. And in April 1986, one year before the meeting with the regulators, McCain's wife, Cindy, and her father invested $359,100 in a Keating strip mall. |

Why do you suppose Clinton hasn't gone after McCain on integrity issues? |

From your cite, "The Ethics Committee concluded that Glenn's and McCain's involvement in the scheme was minimal." "Bennett, who was the special investigator during the Keating Five scandal that The Times revisited in the article, said that he fully investigated McCain back then and suggested to the Senate Ethics Committee to not pursue charges against McCain because of "no evidence against him." Bennett was coincidentally on Hannity and Colmes the night the story broke to talk about his autobiography. On the show, he said that he felt the Committee pursued charges against McCain because, without him, the case would have been entirely against Democrats. But since are known for your balanced views, Larry, you were just about to post about Hillary Clinton's top campaign contributor, felon Norman Hsu, right? |
