McCain: Keating Five Scandal

Posted by george Subscribe here

Isn’t it unfortunate that we have someone running for the presidential office who has been involved in a scandal such as this previously?

As noted in this article, former House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois, also chimed in Thursday with a reference to McCain’s own scandal history. Hastert told reporters that he had worked with McCain on legislation early in his congressional career but “after the Keating Five scandal, he changed.” By contrast, Hastert said Romney has “never been involved in scandal.”

McCain was one of five senators involved in the Keating Five savings-and-loan scandal. The Senate Ethics Committee cited McCain for “poor judgment” but recommended no further action.
