Gerald Ford Pardoned Richard Nixon.
Gerald Ford Pardoned Richard Nixon....But Nixon PERPETUATED no crime. He never did what he was accused of (by Hillary, by the way). He left to stop the damage to the U.S. from further embarrassment. His only crime was he successfully prosecuted, and jailed, Alger Hiss. He was accused of thinking about crimes that Odumbo has done often.
And the pardon was considered invalid at the the time.
At any rate, the pardon was never needed because Nixon was never even prosecuted, much less convicted of any crime.
It's not obvious that Nixon ever did commit any crime that he could be prosecuted for .
The reason Nixon resigned was because he had lost the confidence of the American people and could no longer govern effectively so he did the honorable thing and resigned for the good of the country.
I can assure you, the Democrats on the Left out for his blood and would prosecuted him if there was any legitimate charges, pardon or no pardon.
