Rewriting History on Keating

John McCain's campaign is trying to rewrite the events of the Savings & Loan scandal nearly twenty years later. In his 2002 autobiography, McCain called the scandal "the worst mistake of my life," but now McCain's campaign is claiming he did nothing wrong.

Additionally, McCain's team is changing their story on what McCain knew. Washington Post:

Sometimes in politics, memories fail.

In a conference call with reporters, attorney John Dowd was asked about a specific part of the Keating Five inquiry, the fact that Cindy McCain and her father had invested in a Keating strip mall.

"It was part of the inquiry, but it did not -- John was unconnected to that and unaware of it at the time, and did not participate in it," Dowd said.

As the Post reported, McCain did know about the investments, in fact, there's video and guess who asked him the question? His lawyer, John Dowd.
