 Marcus Raskin
Ford was nominated by Richard Nixon in 1973 to replace Spiro Agnew who resigned the vice presidency to avoid criminal and impeachment charges for bribery while in office.
Whether Ford had an explicit or implicit arrangement with Nixon about the pardon is almost beside the point politically, although deep legal ramifications are present if a vice president excuses a president his possible felonies thereby being able to obtain the office of president as part of a very crass deal.
Ford's political stance on domestic policy would later be thought of as hardly dissimilar from the course followed by two Democratic presidents, Carter and Clinton, even being to their left.

Clinton's lawyers and advisers express concerns not unlike that voiced at the height of the Watergate crisis by one of Nixon's defenders, Representative Charles E. Wiggins, who represented Nixon's old district.

As recounted by James Cannon, a Ford aide, in his book "Time and Chance," the new vice president suggested in his first television interview that Nixon negotiate a compromise with Congress rather than continue to withhold White House tapes and documents Watergate investigators were seeking.

Saying impeachment has brought "profound disgrace" to Clinton and a "grievous and deepening wound" to the country, the two former presidents appealed to the Senate for a bipartisan censure resolution.
