Cunningham Seeks Presidential Pardon From Bush

Despite his stint in federal prison, Randy “Duke” Cunningham hasn’t lost hope.

The convicted former Republican lawmaker from California has submitted a petition for a presidential pardon, according to the New York Times.

The 66-year-old inmate is about 19 months into a sentence of eight years and four months.

Another thing the Times notes is that convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff has not filed a petition.
