13. That has its own shortcomings

Let's say he pardons Pam Bondi. Now that she is pardoned she can be compelled to tell the truth about any and all crimes for which she was pardoned, no taking the fifth or refusal to answer questions.
If she lies then that is a new crime and she can be arrested for lying.

Just an example but it would be nice to get her, Lutnick and the while cast and crew in the hot seat if that happens.

While we cannot arrest them, we can expose them for the pedophiles and liars they are to the whole world.
