    Yeah, Nixon always crops up.

    It's a textbook classic.

    It would have been catastrophic to convict Nixon.

    His signature is on many bills passed by Congress and some treaties.

    All of those could easily be contested by foreign and domestic actors.

    So, it was political and practical.

    In the case of President Nixon, he was able to receive a pardon under the precedent of an 1866 Supreme Court ruling called Ex parte Garland, which allowed for a pardon granted by President Andrew Johnson to remain in force for a former Confederate politician.

    Pre-emptive pardons remain rare. In addition to Ford’s Nixon pardon, President George H.W. Bush pardoned former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger and former CIA official Duane Clarridge in late 1992 before they were tried on Iran-contra Affair charges. (Four others were convicted in the case and also pardoned.)

    Obama followed the law.

    Under the Constitution, only federal criminal convictions , such as those adjudicated in the United States District Courts, may be pardoned by the President.

    Not disagreeing with you, but your last statement says it.

    Edward Snowden is not relevant to anything at all.

    Neither is empathy for clients.

    It's just money.

    But, both the "think of the children" approach and the profit motive are, as you say, coincident.

    Microsoft doesn't really give a shit about the children.

    Did it hurt when you went off the rails?

    Microsoft's motive is money. This matter is very similar to Apple's quest to supply secure phones.

    Companies who provide secure storage and communication hardware/software will become "best of breed" to consumer, business, and government markets.
