A is like: ...lawmakers...because past indiscretions would prove to be embrassing. "THEY" doesn't have clear referent.

B is straight :wink:

B it is.
:btw it is "indiscretion", not "indiscretation"
In A, "they" is not required whereas in B, "their" makes it clear that it the "indiscretions of those lawmakers"
