Didn’t they have a movie out a few years back with Sissy Spacek and Fred Thompson where she worked for the governor of Tennessee and she exposed the corruption in his office for selling pardons? It was a true story and Fred Thompson played himself, because I am assuming he was the real attorney on the case. I believe the governor went to prison. I think the name of the movie was Marie.
It is a true story. The Governor’s name was Ray Blanton. Yes he did time.
Even Hillary’s brother, Hugh Rodham, sold one of many notorious Clinton pardons to a big-time crack dealer:

“Hugh Rodham received a contingency fee ... In 1995, Vignali was convicted of masterminding a scheme to distribute 800 pounds of crack cocaine, worth millions of dollars, from Los Angeles to a narcotics ring in Minneapolis ...” [and Hillary’s brother sold that man a pardon]
