On that News Hour segment, which I watched,...
the lady that had worked in the DoJ department dealing with pardons in past mentioned that there is a large number of pardon applications in the queue. Some people have served 10 years in prison and have met the typical requirements for consideration. W has pardoned fewer than any president in the past 100 years. Scooter, of course, bypassed DoJ review.
