MacFarlane plead to several charges in return for no time and a cooperation deal.

North and Poindexter were convicted, but over-turned by an appeals court.
Abrams was convicted but pardoned by Bush.
Schultz and Weinberger were pardoned pre trial in the last week of the Bush
administration.
Meese was not indicted.
