The ( DEMOCRAT ) Senate Ethics Committee report said that McCain's,

"actions were not improper nor attended with gross negligence and did not reach the level of requiring institutional action against him.

Senator McCain has violated no law of the United States or specific Rule of the United States Senate."

On his Keating Five experience, McCain has said:

"The appearance of it was wrong. It's a wrong appearance when a group of senators appear in a meeting with a group of regulators, because it conveys the impression of undue and improper influence. And it was the wrong thing to do." ( WRONG but NOT Illegal )

Several accounts of the controversy contend that McCain was ONLY included in the investigation in the FIRST place so that there would be at least one Republican target. Glenn's inclusion in the investigation has been attributed to Republicans who were angered by the inclusion of McCain, as well as committee members who thought that dropping Glenn (and McCain) would make it look bad for the remaining three Democratic Senators.

Regardless of the level of their involvement, both senators were greatly affected by it. McCain would write in 2002 that attending the two April 1987 meetings was "the worst mistake of my life".Glenn has described the Senate Ethics Committee investigation as the low point of his life.

So what do we REALLY have here..WE have McCain saying that ATTENDING the MEETINGS was the "worse mistake of my life" ONLY because it gave the APPEARANCE of something wrong..

He did NOT admit to,, NOR WAS HE FOUND TO HAVE BEEN DOING ANYTHING Illegal or unethical..

ONCE again the Left LIES through Distortions and out of context quotes..

Now THAT'S it..THAT'S the WHOLE story..The WHOLE truth..

All this other BS is NOTHING more then Slanderous RUMORMONGERING..
