he was aware some documents existed, or he had seen them (I forget which) but never said he had discussed them.

I caught that too, but he wasn't inconsistent.

He just walked by Trump's desk and just happened to see them sitting there? Pardons are recommended by the DoJ and the process is done through them. I find it hard to believe Whitaker didn't have any involvement in the drafting of those pardons.

When I was working in the government bureaucracy there were many documents I saw and never discussed. Staff would be working on all kinds of things. If it didn't concern me yet, or not ready for my review why would I talk about them?

Things are bad enough, we don't need to stretch.
