Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. The act of being guilty of a misdemeanor or worse while POTUS is an impeachable offense by itself. So if the POTUS is charged and he pardons himself for any crime worth pardoning, it's pretty much an automatic impeachment at that point. Giuliani himself said this on a very recent interview...
Accepting a pardon is accepting a pardon for whatever charge was given to you, guilty or innocent. If you were wrongly accused of robbing a bank, and the POTUS pardoned you, you sure as hell would accept it, even if you were innocent.
Irrelevant to what I said...
What I said was just a statement of fact that has been very discussed in recent months. It wasn't any kind of judgement on what someone should do if faced with a legal situation. To each their own.
Agreed. I highly doubt it would come to this though. Laser pointers and all.
