After Ford left the White House in 1977, he privately justified his pardon of Nixon by carrying in his wallet a portion of the text of Burdick v. United States 236 U.S. 79, a 1915 U.S. Supreme Court decision which suggested that a pardon carried an imputation of guilt and that acceptance carried a confession of guilt.

That is comforting...I would have carried in my wallet too.

That is the reason for the line in this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8ZA_8l3YVg written by a Confederate officer. “I ain’t asked any pardon for anything I’ve done.” He understood that acceptance of a pardon NECESSARILY included an admission of guilt. Otherwise why would a pardon be needed? No one is pardoned for what he did NOT do.

Nixon was a saint compared to BO and Hillary. His blunder was coverup of an incident he had nothing to do with.
