For example, those "last minute" Presidential pardons. Remember back before Clinton left - "Pardon gate?" He pardoned Marc Rich (tax evasion), Linda Sue Evans and Susan Rosenberg (Weather Underground) and Roger Clinton, his brother of drug charges. More information about the 140 folks he pardoned, follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_pardons_controversy
Will Bush pardon Lewis "Scooter" Libby? How about Roger Clemens? No, he doesn't have to be charged with anything to receive a "Presidential" pardon. What about Marion Jones? How about US Customs agents Ramos and Compean? We do not know yet.
There is a good article on Bush's last 100 days here http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27135448/
