You have to be pretty stupid to not know McCain was one of the Keating Five.

Quote:

McCain wasn't directly involved in canceling the investigation...

Mc Cain was the one who went to the Office of Thrift Supervision to ask them to relax their examination of Lincoln Savings...not to mention pocketing $100M in campaign contributions from Keating.

He wasn't forced to testify in the House Ethics investigation because he had been elected to the Senate by that time.
