Also, easy for Ford to condemn a war long after he was out of power. Perhaps to salvage his self-image, after trading the plum of the presidency for a promise to pardon Nixon (and by example, any future president who breaks the law...). The power brokers sensed Ford's hunger for the presidency and used it as leverage for the Nixon pardon. Ahem.... Ford was VP to Nixon. He didn't need to trade any thing. He would have been President anyway had Nixon been tried and found guilty. Ford's hunger for the Presidency? Please explain in some detail. Ford's hunger was for Speaker of the House according to his own words.
