I cannot think of too many big names. Ken Lay from Enron would have been pardoned had he not died. Scooter Libby was also already pardoned. There weren't too many others from this administration who were charged with anything.


Actually, Scooter Libby was commuted, which means his conviction stands, but he served no jail time.

Every President pulls questionable pardons at the last hour, from Clinton with Marc Rich to Bush Sr. with the convicted Iran-Contra figures and so forth.

Dubya oddly, save for the Libby incident, hasn't gone as wild with pardons as his predecessors have.
