Bosch wasn't a citizen. Justice wanted him deported. The CIA had him as the head of the terrorist organization responsible for downing a civilian airliner. The FBI reported he had: "repeatedly expressed and demonstrated a willingness to cause indiscriminate injury and death." Bush let him slide, let him stay here avoiding prosecution in the countries that wanted him. Hammer pledged over a million dollars to the Reagan library. When Reagan didn't pardon him, Hammer refused to fulfill his pledge. Hammer then went on to donate a couple hundred thousand to Bush related funds. He was part of Bush's Team 100 (of top donors) and was a guest in the Bush White House as a perk. Bush pardoned Hammer only months after Reagan turned him down. Steve
