“These screw-ups happen,” said John M. Deutch, a former director of central intelligence and deputy secretary of defense” who was pardoned by Clinton for security violations on his last day in office.
A coincidence I suppose.

“Soon after Deutch’s departure from the CIA in 1996 it was revealed that classified materials were being kept on several of Deutch’s laptop computers designated as unclassified. In January 1997, the CIA began a formal security investigation of the matter. Senior management at CIA declined to fully pursue the security breach. Over two years after his departure, the matter was referred to the Department of Justice, where Attorney General Janet Reno declined prosecution. She did, however, recommend an investigation to determine whether Deutch should retain his security clearance.[4] President Clinton pardoned Deutch on his last day in office.[5]”
Well, that depends what your definition of “coincidence” is.
