Wow oh wow, what a story on the eve of the election. Is is true? Did he leak information from the Keating Five Senate investigation?
McCain First, Second, And Always
Yet the Ethics Committee's was not the only investigation into the scandal. There were two other probes at the time that got barely any public attention--both of which largely focused on McCain himself. These were probes into illicit leaks about the proceedings of the Ethics Committee--leaks that repeatedly benefited McCain and hurt his Keating Five colleagues. One of those senators described the leaks at the time as a "violation of ethical behavior at least as serious as anything of which we senators have been accused."

Read it all and decide yourself.

McCain Did Not Disclose Keating Business Deal To Investigators
"All five senators -- including McCain -- had testified under oath and under the U.S. penal code that the leaks did not come from their camps," Sahil Mahtani reports. "The leaks were also prohibited by rules of the Senate Ethics Committee; according to the rules of the Senate, anyone caught leaking such information could face expulsion from the body."

The October surprise a day late? Nah I think I'll sit on the fence, opinions are not quite enough to make an informed decision.
