Some have highlighted that the pardons would remove the individuals' ability to invoke their fifth amendment rights—most notably those protecting against self-incriminating testimony—if subpoenaed to testify before Congress in the future. If a pardon had been accepted, a recipient would not be able to plead "the fifth" because there would be no threat of incrimination, a law professor told Newsweek
