Trump's kids won't lose their 5th Amendment rights and be forced to testify against him if they're pardoned, experts say
A presidential pardon isn't enough to mean that someone can't plead the Fifth Amendment and refuse to testify, according to experts in criminal law.

the caveat to that whole argument is again state vs federal. a federal pardon doesn't protect against state level charges, so they can still plead the fifth to state level charges.Source?

I get that, but I found the idea of pleading the 5th to avoid lying to the feds novel, as the 5th is much broader than the pardon received.
people usually invoke the 5th to avoid incriminating themselves or others (for any of a number of reasons), not to avoid perjury per se.
I agree and that was the point I was trying to make. As you rightly point out the 5th can be invoked for a number of reasons and I don't think you need to provide justification.
So a pardon might effect your ability to plead the 5th, and I was hoping you had a source that showed it waives it. Best I can tell is maybe.

yea, its one of those legal areas with little, if any, precedence. the acceptance of a pardon hasn't (as far as i'm aware) been legally challenged as a de facto admission of guilt.

The crazy thing is that he probably has groupies.
He really has much more of an untreated syphilis thing going on.
In my humble opinion.
So Bannon got one and Joe Exotic got stiffed? I thought this was America.

I think a trash pardon would be the perfect capstone to a trash presidency.
Woah dude, easy on the taco hate. Even rancid taco fillings should never be associated with that guy. It's Steve "what Asbestos would look like if it were human" Bannon.
I would discard his face from the sacks of face meat I feed to my dog. Wouldn't even compost, that shit needs to be kept out of any carbon cycle.
Safely discarding the tainted remains of someone so vile could prove quite challenging. Incineration could create too much smoke, dissolving in hydrochloric acid just leaves a jar of useless goo, burying would certainly "salt" the earth, and you can't hang it from a tree and let the night critters have at it as they would surely be themselves consumed by the very evil they ingest. A most vexing predicament for sure. Best of luck in your endeavors.
Laugh.... Damn near gave myself a hernia!
Pity it's a fake.
Bye, loser...
