Pardons and grand jury (Eric Holder)

Eric Holder
@EricHolder

A person who is pardoned can be put in a grand jury and asked about everything, including the acts for which he was pardoned. Obliged to tell the truth-or perjury charges. A president - through use of the pardon power - cannot therefore insulate himself.
