According to SCOTUS dicta, acceptance of a Presidential pardon is an admission of guilt. Presidential pardons only cover federal crimes. The same actions can be charged both federally and at a state level. SCOTUS has ruled that double jeopardy does not apply to the same actions charged federally and at a state level.
