Merv Griffin Show: Gerald Ford Interview- Pardoning Richard Nixon (1979)

Source:Merv Griffin Show- interviewing former President Gerald R. Ford (Republican, Michigan) in 1979.

"This is an intimate interview with former U.S. President Gerald Ford from September of 1979. He talks about the rumors of an under-the-table deal regarding Nixon's resignation over the Watergate scandal and Ford's subsequent pardon of Nixon. Merv Griffin had over 5000 guests appear on his show from 1963-1986. Footage from the Merv Griffin Show is available for licensing to all forms of media through Reelin' In The Years Productions:Reel In The Years."

Looks like Nixon White House Chief of Staff Al Haige put the option on the table for then Vice President Gerald Ford, that he consider pardoning Richard Nixon once Ford becomes President of the United States, at least according to Gerald Ford.

As President Ford said in this interview, there's no evidence that then President Nixon agreed to resign as President, only if then Vice President Ford pardons the former President. Any suggestion to suggest that's exactly what happens, puts you in the small camp of people that say that Robert F. Kennedy murdered Marilyn Monroe in 1962. With the only answer that you have to that is: "It could've happen." The problem is that speculation is not a substitute for evidence.
