15. One hopes that your scenerio doesn't fly
My opinion is that the uproar will be so loud that Congress will not be able to spin it away. If they try, the uproar should increase to a level where it can no longer be ignored.

If people in the know are convinced that presidential pardon is a likely scenerio we should steel ourselves for a political battle royale. We cannot let this stand. We need alternative strategies to counter the rape of justice and restore the rule of law to the country.

Finally, our Congress Critters must be made aware of this and their agreement to act quickly should be secured. A Constitutional Amendment may be necessary to limit the power of the pardon to people and acts outside of government.
