Six of the federal offenses were drug crimes, while others included bank fraud, mail fraud, the acceptance of a kickback, a false statement on a loan application and conspiracy to defraud the government over taxes.
Seven of the 16 received no prison or jail time, instead getting probation or small fines. The longest sentence was nine years, for aiding cocaine distribution, followed by a six-year term for conspiracy to possess marijuana.

Horton Received 12 Weekend Passes
um, were they friends of his? I'm sorry but it's obvious Bush has a double-standard in the War on Drugs... if he didn't, he would have to put himself in jail for a couple of decades to make up for lost time, born again or not.
I checked the link and it seems a fellow named "Armand Hammer" received a pardon for making campaign contributions in someone else's name. Now that is fishy.

Well at least they weren't FALN terrorist bombers like Clinton (I couldn't resist Bill O)
My point Bill O, which I'm sure you know, but don't like to hear, is that they all do it. But guys like you want to pretend as if only Republicans take advantage of the system or because the Democrats are so well intentioned that it is not worth reporting or discussing.
