Question: What do we do if tomorrow morning, Trump pardons everyone.

7. There are still potential state charges

I would assume the AGs of blue states, handicapped though they are, will attempt to move forward.

If the Democrats do get back control of at least one House in 2018, then they can compel everyone under pardon to testify. I guess, in theory, the president could then pardon them for contempt of Congress or perjury. You would have to think the Republicans would be running for the exits at some point. The thing about the pardon is that it gives Congress a blank check for forcing testimony because the 5th Amendment is not in play (unless they invoke it for state charges?).

I don't know if I can predict how the voting public would react. So long as they get their Supreme Court justices, I think the conservatives in Iowa are pretty much ok with anything except maybe cutting off their healthcare.
