Well, I dont know for sure but we do have history to look at for some answers. Lets see who his father pardoned....

From WIKIPEDIA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush

George H.W Bush's last controversial act in office was his pardon of six former government employees implicated in the Iran-Contra scandal on December 24, 1992, most prominently former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger.

Weinberger's private notes contained references to Bush's endorsement of the secret shipments to Iran, some believe that the pardon was an effort to prevent an order for Bush to appear before a grand jury or possibly to avoid an indictment.

In addition to Weinberger, Bush pardoned Duane R. Clarridge, Clair E. George, Robert C. McFarlane, Elliott Abrams!, and Alan G. Fiers Jr., all of whom had been indicted and/or convicted of charges by the Independent Counsel.

Probably far less than Bubba "Impeached" Clinton did:

Clinton issued 140 pardons on his last day of office (January 20, 2001).[8] It is common practice for Presidents to grant a number of pardons shortly before leaving office, but Clinton's last day list was more numerous than those of previous presidents and some find his pardons more controversial. Pardons of particular note include:

Carlos Vignali was pardoned for cocaine trafficking.
Almon Glenn Braswell was pardoned of his mail fraud and perjury convictions, even while a federal investigation was underway regarding additional money laundering and tax evasion charges.[9] Braswell and Carlos Vignali each paid approximately $200,000 to First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, to represent their respective cases for clemency. Hugh Rodham returned the payments after they were disclosed to the public. Braswell would later invoke the Fifth Amendment at a Senate Committee hearing in 2001, when questioned about allegations of his having systematically defrauded senior citizens of millions of dollars.[10]

Marc Rich, a fugitive, was pardoned of tax evasion, after clemency pleas from Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak, among many other international luminaries. Denise Rich, Marc's former wife, was a close friend of the Clintons and had made substantial donations to both Clinton's library and Hillary's Senate campaign. Several months after her last donation, emails reveal Republican attorney "Scooter" Libby asked her to approach Clinton about pardoning Marc Rich. Clinton agreed to a pardon that required Marc Rich to pay a $100,000,000 fine before he could return to the United States. According to Paul Volcker's independent investigation of Iraqi Oil-for-Food kickback schemes, Marc Rich was a middleman for several suspect Iraqi oil deals involving over 4 million barrels of oil.[11]
Susan McDougal, who had already completed her sentence, was pardoned for her role in the Whitewater scandal; McDougal had served 18 months on contempt charges for refusing to testify about Clinton's role.

Roger Clinton, the president's half-brother, on drug charges. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon.[12] He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others.

More fingerpointing?

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...

So what is your point?

Clinton did the same thing.

President Bill Clinton was widely criticized for some pardons and other acts of executive clemency; collectively, these have been called Pardongate.[1] Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate the pardons. She was later replaced by James Comey. The Federal Election Commission, responding to a formal complaint made by Judicial Watch, also investigated Denise Rich's donations to the Senate campaign of Hillary Clinton. Both Comey and the FEC cleared the Clintons of any wrongdoing.

FALN Pardons of 1999
On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, a violent Puerto Rican nationalist group that set off 120 bombs in the United States usually in New York City and Chicago, convicted for conspiracies to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as for firearms and explosives violations.[2] None of the 16 were convicted of bombings or any crime which injured another person, and all of the 16 had served 19 years or longer in prison, which was a longer sentence than such crimes typically received, according to the White House. Clinton offered clemency, on condition that the prisoners renounce violence, at the appeal of 10 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, President Jimmy Carter, the cardinal of New York, and the archbishop of Puerto Rico. The commutation was opposed by U.S. Attorney's Office, the FBI, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons and criticized by many including former victims of FALN terrorist activities, the Fraternal Order of Police,[3] members of Congress, and Hillary Clinton in her campaign for Senator. [4] Congress condemned the action, with a vote of 95-2 in the Senate and 311-41 in the House. [5] [6] The U.S. House Committee on Government Reform held an investigation on the matter, but the Justice Department prevented FBI officials from testifying.[7] President Clinton cited executive privilege for his refusal to turn over some documents to Congress related to his decision to offer clemency to members of the FALN terrorist group.

The following is a partial list of people pardoned by Bill Clinton. On January 20, 2001, hours before leaving office, President Bill Clinton used his power under the U.S. Constitution to pardon 140 people, thus commuting the sentences of those already convicted of a crime, and obviating a trial for those not yet convicted. Some of the pardons were the subject of severe criticism.

This list is a subset of the list of people pardoned by a United States president.
