But I think better legal experts than yourself disagree with this part of your post: "the 5th would still 100% apply even if that argument is true "

if the pardon was specific to certain behaviors/crimes and other federal crimes were still possible? no way

let's just take Manafot. if he's guilty of violating tax laws, and is pardoned for that, if he's still under possible prosecution for FEC violations or other "russian collusion" behaviors, then he can 100% use the 5A if it could incriminate him in the non-tax prosecuions

To be clear, you are now agreeing with my original post. Please note the word largely, used multiple times.

"You'd lose large parts of the 5A. Maybe all of it. Protections is against self incrimination, and (largely) they'd not be under criminal jeopardy."
