No, the problem is that you are the one who is deciding that the resignation had something to do with "growing scandals" (your words) in scandals McGreevey was cleared of.  If you want to write about those scandals, then create new articles.  But your "historical context" is simply your POV.  Just because you have a citation doesn't mean you aren't using it to WP:SYN your POV.  Have you read WP:SYN?  Your inclusion of multiple sources about scandals in the lead of an article about someone who wasn't involved in them to portray it as having some effect on the resignation is WP:SYN.David ''''''
