    It’s my understanding that you don’t have to accept a pardon, and that accepting one is a tacit admission of guilt, which probably opens up some interesting legal arguments once Trump is out of office.

      Oh yeah, which I’ll just bet they pursue at the same breakneck pace that ensured the chief traitor got the only punishment befitting insurrection… The… presidency?

      It’s not actually an admission of guilt, that was just the defense used for someone who previously rejected a pardon that they were worried it would be viewed as such
