Ford's administration was a joke. A prosecution of Nixon would have hurt the GOP even more. The GOP knew they would lose in '76 and possibly beyond, so they needed damage control and time to find some new dirty tricks. So they pardoned Nixon. The heat for this would be hot, but short term. At this point the first Bush started his plans to take over the darkest wing of the GOP and continue Nixon's original plans.
