I think some of it is in that Ford didn't seem to have much to gain from doing it, where with more recent commutations or pardons there's a sense of either protecting someone for doing your bidding or covering for you or sort of selling your influence.

I met Ford and believe he was a good man, and I might even believe the pardon was for the good of the country.
However Nixon did appoint him Vice President.
To me, though, Nixon got away with a lot.
Which, of course, has nothing to do with the current situation -- except that Libby may get away with a lot, too.
