Clinton Indefensible Pardon

Clinton Indefensible Pardon: "At issue in the new disclosures were two acts of clemency that had already seemed puzzling. One involved Glenn Braswell, a Los Angeles businessman, who was pardoned for his conviction in 1983 on mail fraud and perjury charges. After his pardon was announced, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles complained that a separate inquiry into possible money laundering and tax evasion might be hampered. The other beneficiary, Carlos Vignali, had his 15-year prison sentence commuted by Mr. Clinton after a campaign waged by some leading public figures in California. Mr. Vignali had been convicted of involvement in a drug-dealing operation."?
