The Senate Ethics Committee determined that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings, with Cranston receiving a formal reprimand. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly.

McCain and Glenn were cleared because of their political clout and for no other reason. McCain was the closest to Keating of all of the Keating Five. He got the most in bribes, and special favors. His family were all close to Charles Keating, and McCain himself tried to get regulators to stop investigating Lincoln Savings & Loan and Keating.
