On top of all that, accepting a pardon eliminates your Fifth Amendment rights in connection with that particular crime -- you can no longer be prosecuted for that particular crime, so you can no longer use self-incrimination for that crime as an excuse for refusing to answer investigators' questions.
according to a lawyer friend of mine this only partially true. As a pardon is for a
federal crime you could still invoke the 5th as protection from self incrimination for a
state criminal charge arising from what you were federally convicted of.
