Unfortunately, he did not. Instead, he wrote that Neil Bush was pardoned which not only was factually incorrect, but was easily factchecked by going to the DOJ website. It would have taken him 2 minutes to check. And where was his editor? It's just embarrassing for both Pierce for writing that piece and Esquire for publishing it.
