You can only be pardoned for crimes you’ve actually been found guilty of.
Ford pardoned Nixon but the Senate didn’t actually take the vote to impeach him. Interestingly Nixon escaped prosecution but most of his inner circle did time inside. It was a disgrace that Nixon allowed his team to carry the can for his crimes and the Watergate tapes prove he knew exactly what was going on from the outset. I haven’t given up hope that one day technology will enable us to find out what was erased from that “smoking gun” tape.
