Dave, I may be wrong about this, but I think I have heard that when you are pardoned you then lose the ability to make use of the 5th Amendment if you are ever called as witness in a trial against he who granted you the pardon. 

I'm gonna assume that was the reason for the back and forth...

Not an expert on this, but I heard the same.

Anyone who can donate to the Trump Enrichment Fund (in sufficient quantities) will be eligible for a pardon.  There really aren’t any Americans who are still pretending he’s not corrupt anyway, right?

Remember the theme song from his reality show.

I'm surprised he's not holding a telethon for pardons.

I believe this is true. Since you do not need to avail yourself of the 5th amendment against self incrimination, then if you refuse to talk, you can be held in contempt.
