Has No Life - Lives on TB
I heard today on a radio show (name forgotten) that there are approximately 2300 applications already in for presidential pardons. Pardons ore typically bunched near the end of a president's term. President Bush has already granted some pardons and commutations and there is some question if his staff can sort through the backlog of applications pending.

Here are the pardons that have been granted by President Bush so far (that I know of):

Obviously this list is incomplete because it does not include the well-publicized case of "Scooter" Libby who ironically was the lawyer and chief lobbyist for the notororious Clinton pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich.

I would appreciate it if anyone on TB2K can uncover the list of pending pardon applications so I and all of you cound see if some of the people that we've heard of on this forum (either eserving of pardons or undeserving) can be found there.

And obviously, your list is incomplete because it doesn't contain 2300 names.
