John McCain was one of those Senators.

For whatever reason, this fact has been stricken from history and is
NEVER mentioned in the mainstream media.

 

The reason is because he remade himself as the campaign finance reform guy.  IMO that is the only reason he jumped on that-- to pave over his own shady past of campaign contributions.  As we can see he gained plenty from going down that road.  The strategy completely worked as the media pretty much glosses over his role in Keating 5 and always give him his BS "maverick" lable.  I guess the media just loves a repentant sinner?
