The democrat controlled committee looking into the Keating 5 scandal hired a...democrat as "special counsel" to investigate the matter. His name is Robert Bennett and he's a life long democrat.

At the end of his investigation of about 18 months, he recommended McCain be dropped from the investigation and fully cleared.

In real speak Glaucus, Bennett couldn't find a damned thing wrong with anything McCain did.

Now, you and O'Bomber would know that...if you were really looking for any truth...which it's apparent you're not.

Statement of Robert Bennett...Special Counsel to the Committee.

"At the completion of my investigation, I filed my report with the committee. I recommended that no further action be taken against Senators McCain and Glenn principally because once they learned that there was a criminal referral, they stopped aggressively doing Keating’s bidding with the regulators.

After reviewing my report, the committee voted on October 23, 1990, to hold a public adjudicatory fact-finding hearing in the matter as to all five senators. This was perhaps the first time the recommendation of a special counsel not to charge a senator was rejected. This was pure politics as the Democrats on the committee did not want to cut McCain loose so that only Democrats would remain in the proceedings. If Senator McCain was not going to be cut loose, in retaliation the Republicans were going to keep Senator Glenn in the proceedings. McCain was the victim of politics, and poor Glenn was held captive to the decision on McCain. So much for nonpartisanship.
