Aside from the "customary" pardon Ford provided Nixon, if I'm not mistaken he had a rather long and distinguished career in Government, while also never being dragged thru the mud or having his reputation sullied.

Considering Ford's pardon of Nixon, how do we measure the ethics of the hundreds of questionable pardons granted by Clinton in his final hours in office?

Is there some sort of double standard here?
