Which would be easy to convince at least one out of twelve considering the current political climate.

I'm guilty and I'm pardoning myself.  By the way, that admission of guilt was just locker room talk. Actually, the more he pardons himself for the more power he gets because it'll just further prove that those damn liberals framed him for damn near everything and they still couldn't pin him down.
