Granted, I was told that the President can declassify anything he wants when Obama did it, so no crime there. But, a pardon doesn't require an admission of a crime; it can just be used to stop persecutorial prosecutions.
Given the precedent set by this process, and the threats made by the Left, I would assume every president from here on out walks out the door with a secret pocket pardon.
