Twitler is going to start handing out the pardons

as fast as his lackeys get convicted. God’s Only Party “leaders” will then have to figure out how to deal with their overtly corrupt criminal president.

My guess is they will do nothing.

on that matter, and the person who their compelled testimony would be used against is Trump.

It is not just an abuse of power related impeachment that Trump risks by issuing pardons. I don't know if Trump's lawyers can help him understand that or not.

Cohen has already testified under oath that Trump is a co-conspirator.
