Klinton appears to have had a real issue with courts martial.

He pardoned people all the way back to 1891. Wonder if they were still being held?

I noticed his brother got a pardon for his cocaine dealing, his Whitewater pals got excused, as did his convicted cabinet members. Lots of pardons for Arkansas residents, too.

Hmm, they weren't complaining then.
