If he had to pardon anyone, I'd have preferred Dwight Gooden.

Were either of them ever convicted of federal charges that could be pardoned?

Not Jackson, he wasn’t convicted on the State charges either.

As a personal matter, my strong preference is to not let people off easy for tax evasion.

It just encourages more hooligans to push the envelope and figure they'll get off easy. But I suppose that partially springs from being a CPA myself.
