   ["""""""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 (Democrat of California), Dennis DeConcini   
   (Democrat of Arizona), John Glenn (Democrat of Ohio), John McCain   
   (Republican of Arizona), and Donald W. Riegle, Jr. (Democrat of   
   Michigan) – were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of   
   Charles H. Keating, Jr., Chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan   
   Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the   
   Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). The FHLBB subsequently backed off   
   taking action against Lincoln.   
      
   Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of over $3 billion   
   to the federal government (taxpayers). Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders   
   were defrauded and many investors lost their life savings. The   
   substantial political contributions Keating had made to each of the   
   senators, totaling $1.3 million, attracted considerable public and media   
   attention. After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee   
   determined in 1991 that Cranston, DeConcini, and Riegle had   
   substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB's investigation   
   of Lincoln Savings, with Cranston receiving a formal reprimand. Senators   
   Glenn and McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were   
   criticized for having exercised "poor judgment".""""""""]   
      
   McCain should try living by that code, he was part of the gang that was   
   investigated for crimes in the Senate wasn't he?
