-Caveat Lector-
[Sorry if y'all have seen this, but I wondering if this is
normal, i.e., the actual nature of the crimes and the shear
amount of these pardons & comuntations?? To me, this is just
unbelievable. The President of the United States can only give
pardons and/or clemency for Federal crimes. Take a look at this
list and ask yourself how the crimes these people are supposed to
have committed fell under the jurisdiction of the Federal
government. If I'm not mistaking, MOST of these were, are, and
should be state crimes, of which the Federal government has no
legal role. --MS]
