First, prosecute the pardons.
The presidents pardon power cannot be used to:
(1) pardon state crimes,

(3) pardon impeachment, or
(4) pardon crimes that have not already occurred
.
A pardon can only apply to actions that occur before it is issued, but any obstructive pardons would be a continuation of a provable conspiracy, so the crime would be ongoing.
Put another way: you cannot pardon a crime when the pardon itself continues the crime.

Our new AG and DOJ have so many to prosecute, that the news coverage will bring on all the howling humiliation we could want.
