That's the problem with norms.
There was certainly talk at the time that Ford was acting corruptly, but that has faded with time. I think an important factor there was that the "Nixon was railroaded" crowd was down to the single digits nationally and virtually extinct in Congress. I'm not at all confident that we will ever reach that level of consensus in the current situation.
