He was sentenced to five years in prison, and while free pending an appeal, he was arrested in New Mexico on charges of trying to smuggle marijuana across the border, court records show. He pleaded guilty to federal drug charges in 1994, but disappeared while out on bail, later surfacing in Mexico.

In 1998, federal prosecutors obtained approval from a judge to quash the drug indictment, wiping clean Pepe Cardona’s federal court record.

Surprised to see this in the NYSlime (and it isn't even Friday).

The italics above are the "money quote" for me. I wonder how he got a pardon in 1998? Who the hell was in charge back then???

If I'm not mistaken, Cardona was the name of the drug dealer who was also a big Clinton donor and had his picture taken with Bill & Hillary in front of the White House Xmas tree.
