    Yeah, I don't believe McCain didn't know what he was getting into. They gave him a slap on the wrist and told him not to do it again, even though he was clearly involved. For anyone less wealthy or connected, they would have been convicted as an accessory at the very least.

      I dunno that seems pretty prejudicial. It's literally the job of politicians to listen to their constituents and advocate for them. Obviously there's a problem of unequal access and representation, but I'm not sure anything he did here is particularly outside that mold, certainly not criminal. Can you actually point to something concrete that he did that you think is criminal?

        Acting as a messenger and promoting foreign interests over the welfare of the nation and his constituents is acceptable to you? Good to know.
