That's what I was referring to. Accepting a pardon = admission of guilt. Because he has admitted to a crime, Flynn therefore cannot serve in the admin.
Don't understand the downvotes. I'm more than happy to be wrong on this, but I would like to know the legal reasoning behind why I am wrong.
I read someone in this thread mentioning “unconditional” or “conditional” pardon, unconditional being his civil rights are completely restored as if he never did anything wrong.

A full pardon restores the person's innocence as though he or she had never committed a crime.
So basically you're wrong (in the nicest way)
So all rights are restored as a result. Got it. Thank you! Like I said - happy to be wrong, just wanted to know the legal reasoning why.
