Thanks for posting this.

It is relevant.

On September 8, 1974 he pardoned Richard Nixon, angering the Democrats to an unexpected degree.

In a hasty political maneuver six days later he attempted to save the November Congressional elections by placating the angry Democrats with the clemency program.

It didn't work.
