This seems odd given that there have been reports that Smith is in discussions to close his cases consistent with DOJ policy that a sitting President cannot be prosecuted.
Also, if you learned in School that people who want/need pardons necessarily did something wrong you were lied to. That's like saying all defendants who enter into plea bargains with prosecutors are necessarily guilty. In fact, criminal defendants if they have appropriate legal counsel will consider and take advantage of whatever legal opportunities are available to them.
