Preferred term

Keating Five  

Definition

  • The Keating Five scandal, named after the five U.S. senators ensnared in it, illustrates the deleterious impact that individuals in positions of responsibility can have when acting improperly. The line between campaign contributions and outright quid pro quo bribery can be fuzzy, and Charles Keating's vast lobbying skills convinced senators to inject themselves into federal investigations on his behalf.
