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.



But I thought McCain dropped the matter once told it was a criminal investigation and not merely a regulatory disagreement? It's been a long time and I may be remembering wrong. I'm pretty sure Glenn was one of the two who butted in but backed out when told what was going on (which wasn't what Keating had told them) and though McCain was the other. The other three kept on even after knowing it was a criminal investigation.

I'm pretty sure the $100M number is much too high. Maybe $1M per Keating-5 member at most. House contests just don't cost that much, and this was 20+ years ago.
