How can a president pardon himself without admitting to a crime
no once a pardon is granted noone in any office can ask any questions whats done is done
The US President cannot pardon someone convicted of crimes other than federal crimes, he cannot pardon someone who has been impeached (and tried, and convicted), and he cannot pardon himself. He also cannot pardon someone for crimes not yet committed. However, there is no requirement that someone actually be convicted, so a Presidential pardon can effectively block any prosecution.
