The Democrats protest Bush tax cuts and all the Republicans aren't happy. I don't know how it happened, and it may have occurred by accident, but somehow President Clinton pardoned a major Republican fund contributor! I wonder if the Republicans will give the money back! (ggg) "Unlike some other individuals who were pardoned by Mr. Clinton, Mr. Braswell was not known as a donor to Democrats. In fact, he has been a significant contributor to the Republican Party, including the presidential campaign of George W. Bush." Excerpt from Pardon for Subject of Inquiry Worries Prosecutors By KURT EICHENWALD and MICHAEL MOSS From The New York Times O ne of the 140 people pardoned last month by President Clinton was a businessman being investigated for new potential felonies. Now, some Justice Department officials arequestioning whether the president's broadly worded order could hamper their inquiry. The pardon application by the businessman, Almon Glenn Braswell, was one of about two dozen last- minute requests that bypassed the traditional route through the Justice Department and went directly to the White House, government officials said. nytimes.com
