The "Keating Five" were a group of five U.S. senators—John McCain, Dennis DeConcini, John Glenn, Donald Riegle, and Alan Cranston—who were implicated in a scandal involving Charles Keating, a savings and loan executive. They were accused of improperly intervening on behalf of Keating’s failing institution during the savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s. In 1990, the Senate Ethics Committee rebuked them for their actions, but ultimately none faced severe legal consequences. The incident raised significant questions about political ethics and the influence of campaign contributions.

Did John McCain take bribes from Charles Keating?
Yes. Keep in mind, the legal standard for indicting someone for bribery, and knowing someone took a bribe, are two different things. While it's quite certain that John McCain took money from Keating and performed favors on his behalf, the legal standard of proving a quid pro quo is higher than the obvious exchange that took place. McCain took money and got away with it. He's still doing it today. He took money("campaign contributions") from the oil companies, and then changed his position on offshore drilling. Again, an obvious bribe, but difficult to prove in a court of law, as long as the transaction takes place without tangible evidence. Opposing opinion: The answer above is a biased smear. John McCain was investigated by the Senate Ethics committee. He was cleared of criminal wrongdoing but was admonished by the US Senate for poor judgment.
