Pardons give immunity such that no one could refuse to give Congressional testimony. It's why Libby only got commutation.

I don't agree. Trump thinks he can get away with this. If he fires everyone it makes impeachment more likely.

If he pardons everyone and the truth still comes out then he'll be fucked.
