Remember, in order to obtain a pardon, one has to admit to their crime(s):

A pardon is an expression of the president's forgiveness and ordinarily is granted in recognition of the applicant's acceptance of responsibility for the crime and established good conduct for a significant period of time after conviction or completion of sentence. It does not signify innocence.

Innocent people don't need pardons.

Then again, we're watching the family values leader defending numerous adulterous affairs in court.
And then there's the Zieglers, where ------------ sex isn't gay if a husband is watching.
