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.

She may have more than one scummy brother, but I though I read a while back that the company of the pardoned one went bankrupt and the company was going after him to give the money back (they called it a loan). I don't think the money was ever paid back.

That was Tony in another one of the Pardongate scams.

Being pardoned by a Clinton can be hazardous to your health.

Knowing a clintbilly can be hazardous to your health!

Funny. The title of the article at the Sun Sentinel is: Well-known con man pardoned by Clinton dies in Miami Beach.

More details there (esp. on Braswell's background).

"How far back was this 'previous injury'? "

Sprained ankle, high school football.

Kinda noticeable that they didn't define the previous injury.

I heard it was an accident...he fell down an elevator shaft...on top of some bullets.

Lesson: When a Clinton asks for a thousand dollar campaign donation you give a thousand dollar campaign donation.

aluminum bat? what?!!! only amateur's use aluminum.

Yep! Just cleaning up some more lose ends.

Everyone that believes that Roddam returned the 200 thousand dollars, stand on their head.

Hummmm just as I thought. I see no one standing on their heads.

ARKANCIDE ALERT!

Look for a lot more pardonees to disappear as Hillary prepares for her Coronation.

For sure.

FYI

[Bigg Red]

I guess getting his money back was what made him special.

Do you really believe that the Clintons have ever given back money to anyone? I don't. They pledge to just to shut up their critics, but I would be willing to bet it has never actually happened.

[Atlantian]

The Secret Life of Bill Clinton: the Unreported Stories by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is an excellent book.

[rock58seg]

Sure!!! They returned the money along with the White House Silver. Didn't you see the MSM articles demanding they return It/them. I didn't think so. I sure didn't.

[Bon mots]

No, but you can start with Barbara Olsen's book, "Hell to Pay" and go from there.
