Doesn’t matter, a presidential pardon doesn’t cover military treason or non federal crimes. Milley can still be dragged out and shot day 1 if Trump had the balls and states can still sue Fauci into oblivion for damages done. The only one this really protects is the scumbags involved in the J6 committee and even then lawfare is completely on the table now.
The scamdemic requires a reckoning that's incalculably bigger than just Fauci, so a skin-deep protection for him doesn't mean much - it might even help keep the anger over the covid years alive, which is important. I agree the select committee protections are the most egregious. There should be a meaningful deterrent to show trial collaborators.
I'm not sure about your other claims, but regarding this:

I believe they can be prosecuted for contempt of Congress if they do not testify, they can no longer take the fifth. So they either have to tell the truth, or they open themselves up for prosecution.

Only if we end up with an Attorney General with balls. Otherwise they'll just lie with impunity like usual.
