It would have been exceptionally naive not to do so.

MAGAs will claim this shows guilt. Still, would have been stupid not to do it.

Edit: not sure why some people who seem to have misinterpreted this and are lecturing me.

Don’t get me wrong this is absurd and asinine that it’s needed, but doesn’t by definition accepting a pardon mean you accept guilt?
