With the Keating Five episode...I always felt that he should have ended up with a minimum of twelve months in some fed prison. No one in AZ brought up the episode in the next election, and McCain just continued on. Pretty sad abuse of law. Looking back....the Democratic Party in Arizona always ran weak candidates against the guy because he was ‘their’ player. Pretty amazing control over the mess.
I am sorry for my cynicism, BUT I truly believe when McCain & Glenn skated on the ‘Keating Five’ BS, THAT was their ‘payoff’ for USN/POW & USMC/NASA service.
