這完全是兩個問題。總統有赦免罪犯的權力，但赦免了的還是罪犯，並沒有脫罪。

Pardons don’t erase a defendant’s criminal record and don’t overturn a conviction, though the pardon will be added to their record.

But a pardon forgives the offense and restores the recipient’s civil rights, like gun ownership or voting rights. For convicted rioters on probation, a pardon will end their probation early.
