We were told on Wednesday that Isaac Robert Toussie's pardon was rescinded because he donated $28,500 to RNC months before he requested a pardon, we have another person that Bush pardoned that donated to Bush campaign:
USA Today reports (here) Alan Maiss, former president of Bally Gaming, made two contributions totaling $1,500 to Bush's campaign in 2003 and 2004, a USA TODAY review of federal election records shows. Maiss mostly donated to Democrats and gave only to one other Republican besides Bush: then-Nevada senator Paul Laxalt in 1979, the records show.
On a side note: Carey C. Hice from Travelers Rest, S.C who was convicted for income tax evasion, was pardoned by Bush back in November. According to the Raleigh News and Observer Rice:
... made political contributions to Rep. Bob Inglis, R-S.C., and the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., and had hosted Inglis on a tour of his chemical plant ... Hice contributed $1,000 to Inglis in 1995 and gave the same amount to him in 1997. Hice contributed $1,000 to Thurmond in 1996 ... Hice also permitted the congressman to erect a large 2004 campaign sign on commercial property he owned, Inglis said.
The question how many more individuals that Bush had pardoned and going to pardon, receive clemency or commuted sentence had or have donated money to the Bush Administration? Smells like quid pro quo.
See here the list of people pardoned by Bush. Follow the money...

Who knew! Pay to get a Pardon is part of the Republican Party Policy. Robert Toussie paid 40,000 dollars and he paid in full for his pardon. Now what's so funny is Toussie had to be vetted by the Attorney General and his Deputy and also Bush's legal council. All found no problem and give it to the idiot to sign. Now Bush has no idea what he's doing he signed what's given to him for orders. But the Legal Attorney's all 3 don't know the rules of granting a Pardon. Fitz call the White House and tell them to google it. Yes folks it's writen out for all to read clearly and understand the rules of granting a pardon. How do these get paid and how on earth did they get a law license in the first play. Now that the secret is out Bush makes History by being the first President to pardon someone and then take it back. Look for Madoff to pay for his pardon next. Looks like G-Rod isn't the only one who knows old school politics. Hank Paulson should give Bush some of that bailout money for new Lawyers for Bush and Legal advisers to the Attorney General and his Deputy.
