Protections is against self incrimination, and (largely) they'd not be under criminal jeopardy.

even if this is true, there are likely state laws that cover most of the same illegal activity and the 5A would still cover them

the scope of the pardon would also likely matter a great deal. with all of the overlap in potential charges, the pardon may not remove any and all federal criminal liability. again, the 5th would still 100% apply even if that argument is true

so without even getting into that theoretical argument and assuming it's true, the 5th would still apply
