A typical Neo-Commie Liberal Fascist propaganda post.

HERE ARE THE FACTS:

The Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of
corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the
larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The
five senators;

Alan Cranston (D-CA)
Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)
John Glenn (D-OH)
John McCain (R-AZ)

were accused of improperly aiding Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of
the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target
of an investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB).

After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined
in 1991 that Alan Cranston(D-CA), Dennis DeConcini(D-AZ), and Donald
Riegle(D-MI) had substantially and improperly interfered with the
FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings.

Senators John Glenn and JOHN McCAIN were CLEARED OF HAVING ACTED
IMPROPERLY.

Only Glenn and McCain ran for re-election, and they were BOTH RE-
ELECTED.


Liar
MCCAIN WAS REPRIMANDED _NOT_ "CLEARED" BY THE SENATE ETHICS COMMITTEE
for acting improperly, he admits it in his biography!
