Pardon Me

The Department of Justice has released a rather quixotic list of fourteen individuals pardoned by George W. Bush. None of the people are currently serving time or for that matter are even still on probation for the crimes committed. Hell, I'm not even sure a few of them are still alive.

This looks more like a list that Bush's father would have pardoned. None of the crimes were committed post 1992. I ran a few of the names through the FEC campaign donors database and came up with nothing. Google didn't turn up a lot either save this Riverfront Times article about Morris Cramner. Weird.

The list contains four convicted drug dealers, a hooch brewer, and a bomber. A bomber? What the fuck. I'd like to find out some more on these individuals. If you have any knowledge of these people e-mail me or put it in the comments.
