And how will prosecutions now or of Nixon then have deterred any of that?


The power of the presidential pardon wouldn’t have gone anywhere if Ford hadn’t used it for Nixon. And you think Trump wouldn’t be considering it now if Nixon hadn’t been pardoned over 45 years ago?

You make a fine argument for elimination of the president’s power to pardon, but that has nothing at all to do with launching into an all out prosecutorial frenzy once the Biden Admin begins.
