Not every part of the government operates under the same rules as us. If they don't want someone around, they bully them to suicide or kill them (opinions are open as to what happened there). Then they run a public inquiry, ironically headed by school chums of the ruling class to shut people up about it.

Even accepting what you say, having been convicted of a crime is a necessary prerequisite for receiving a pardon.

This isn't a conspiracy theory site. For the sake of polite conversation this isn't the place to start making such claims.
