"Raymond Liddy, a son of notorious Watergate figure G. Gordon Liddy, previously served as a California deputy attorney general before his arrest. He was sentenced to five years' probation in federal court and disbarred."

G. Gordon Liddy was about 90 years old with Parkinson's disease when his pervert son got jammed up.

Wonder what went through his mind (if he had any left)?

He's not asking for a pardon, he's paying for a pardon from the most corrupt President in US history.
