MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a businessman pardoned by former President Clinton has been found dead inside his South Beach condo. Miami Beach police say 63-year-old Almon Braswell was found dead October 28th in his Ocean Drive condo by his employees. It's believed he died from a previous injury.
Additional information hasn't been released.
The Miami-Dade County medical examiner is labeling Braswell's death as "unclassified" pending more tests.
Clinton granted 177 pardons and clemencies just before leaving office in 2001. Braswell was pardoned of convictions for fraud and other crimes stemming from false claims in 1983 about a baldness treatment.
His pardon became one of the most criticized after it was learned that Clinton's brother-in-law, Hugh Rodham, had been paid 200-thousand dollars to work on the case. Rodham later returned the money.

Looks like the underbelly of the Clinton political machine is warming up for Hillary's 2008 run.

"Rodham later returned the money."
I thought it was closer to $400K and yeah, "sure" he returned the money. I'm totally sure that Janet Reno was right on that!

They better check the apartment for Hugh Rodham's fingerprints. Maybe he decided he needed the money after all.

Anyone who has crossed the Clintons should be afraid, very afraid.

Being pardoned by a Clinton can be hazardous to your health. Ironically, Braswell published a magazine called "Journal of Longevity" and a web site - http://www.journaloflongevity.com. Now he's dead at age 63.

Newsflash:
Eventually all of Clintoon's pardonees will be found dead. I guess getting his money back was what made him special.

How come they don't say what the 'previous injury' was?

Looks like the underbelly of the Clinton political machine is warming up for Hillary's 2008 run. Warminng up. . .cleaning up - and a lot of loose trash out there to take care of, on Hillary's behalf.

Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, denied knowledge of the payment. Hugh Rodham returned the money and was cleared by the Florida Bar. Democrats always rise to the lowest occasion. . .we can count on it.
Interesting that in this entire article; no mention made of 'previous injury'. (From jail or 'what'. .and by whom. . . )

Bruce Lindsay et al. has expanded their outreach beyond the pets of Bubba's 'Bimbos' it would seem.
