McCains - STILL In Business With Charles Keating
Keating Connection: The Sequel
Cindy McCain Makes a Deal
By John Dougherty 10/10/08 12:39 PM

Sen. John McCain’s wife and father-in-law continued a lucrative business partnership with disgraced financier Charles H. Keating Jr. for 11 years after the GOP presidential nominee said he ended his close friendship with Keating in March 1987.

Cindy McCain’s business partnership with Keating in a real-estate development between 1986 and 1998 netted her a tidy profit, in addition to years of significant tax benefits. Her father, who died in 2000, earned similar returns.

...............

On Monday, McCain’s attorney, John Dowd, said in a conference call with reporters that McCain was not aware of his wife’s and father-in-law’s investment with Keating at the time it was made. "John was unconnected to that and unaware of it at the time and did not participate in it," Dowd said.

4. Pure and utter bullshit.
I live in Arizona. I know the shopping center, after it was built it became a tax loss for the citizens of Scottsdale BECAUSE IT WAS FINANCED BY LINCOLN S & L.

Why was it a tax loss? Because it was built right in the middle of a high scale shopping area in Scottsdale. The property just sat there vacant. My parents were alive back then and my dad was livid about that complex.

5. Not aware? Rolling Stone article says different
there's something in there, if I remember correctly, about Keating promising Hensley a 28%(?)ROI. And McCain knew about the deal.
