Trump accepting the pardon from himself means he’s guilty

Accepting a pardon does not require an admission of guilt. That’s a myth. There is no part of the pardon process where you are required to admit guilt

In fact, pardons have been issued because the pardoning authority determined that a person has been wrongly convicted. And at the federal level, general pardons have also been issued. In the case of a general pardon, if you accept one, what are you pleading guilty to? Every possible potential crime covered by the pardon?

Garland was dicta. It was also bullshit.
