For historians, the retrospective legitimation of essentially every criminal act Nixon committed while in office is quite mind-boggling. Ford’s pardon was utterly unnecessary.

Ford's pardon was necessary at the time to smooth the way for the people who have dragged the country to this point. *Now* something like Ford's pardon is unnecessary.
