"It might take a little lawyering, but I don't remember can create a fact issue for a perjury conviction. Video interviews, emails that exist, and an adverse inference instruction for emails that are not produced". Plus direct evidence from people that cut a deal with the prosecution."
Video interviews and emails are the past, and it is all potential federal charges that have been pardoned, including possible perjury during congressional testimony or testimony to other federal agencies, e.g., or during FBI interviews. Any potential Federal charges that might have resulted from his actions during the period of 2014 to the day of his pardon are now off the table.
If he was to be brought before a congressional committee today and put under oath he couldn't invoke the fifth amendment owing to a claim of potential self-incrimination, because he can't be incriminated due to his pardon. He must answer, but like I said in an earlier post, he will just answer "I don't recall".
There are no "direct evidence" deals to be cut. Direct evidence means nothing. He has been pardoned.
The States might be able to find a way to charge him with something. However, it might be a tough job to find something that can't be related, directly or tangentially, to his pardoned federal potential crimes.
