do you really think it was wrong to pardon Nixon? I think he was a disgrace as president, but would that prosecution have actually been beneficial?

Yes, he should only have been pardoned after a full confession - of everything. I would not have pardoned him when he was, without the same. It was wrong. He was not worthy of a pardon. One who has committed crimes of which he does not give full account, and admit their malum in se character, should never be pardoned, except after serving a fair sentence of a sentence that is disproportionate, like Liddy's. I guess it is the vestigal Christian streak in this near atheist popping out.
