The way I look at it, you can’t be guilty of something that isn’t wrong, even if you confess.
And you can’t even expect to be pardoned if you were stupid enough to plead guilty to something that wasn’t illegal.

Further, I assert that Cohen -- who most certainly signed an agreement not to appeal as part of his plea -- can still get the charges vacated because it can be demonstrated that there is no crime.
