4. Political scandals, the Keating Five
The Keating Five is a scandal that involved 5 American senators, Alan Cranston of California, Dennis DeConcini of Arizona, John Glenn of Ohio, Donald Riegle of Michigan and John McCain of Arizona.
Some continued their political career like John McCain, who ran unsuccessfully for the US presidency. But others (Alan Cranston, Dennis Deconcini, Donald Riegle), the scandal resulted in them choosing not to run for re-election and some served terms.
The Keating Five bribe of $1.3 million of campaign contribution offered to the senators by Charles Keating, the chairman of Lincoln Savings and Loan Association came to light when Keating Jr., accused the FHLBB and its former head Edwin J. Gray of conspiring against him.
The latter revealed the involvement of the five senators asking him to back off on the Lincoln investigation.

Sex is a misdemeanor. The more I miss, the meaner I get!
You people just can’t give up on trashing Trump, can you? Well the truth is, without the cheating of the democRAT party, he would still be the President… How about you publish the 5 different ways democRATs cheated in Arizona’s Maracopa County? 96K votes from people who didn’t live at the addresses they voted from? 67K suspicious ballots that should not have been accepted? Supposedly 40 percent of republicans voted for Biden? 90K people on the voter registry in Michigan who are dead….
“Well, the truth is….”
We’re waiting.
I still call Donald Trump, President Trump! If he runs again he will have my vote. You would not have our country in the turmoil it is now thanks weak Biden!
