I'm not a lawyer so can't address the legalities of pleading the fifth in the future under these circumstances, but I think it's unlikely a judge could compel Hunter to actually testify against his father or anyone else, actors or originals. Hunter can simply say he doesn't remember - a plausible "out" considering his alleged rampant drug use - to anything they ask him in a court of law.
What this may be doing is setting a precedent for Trump to issue pardons across the board to whomever he deems worthy, regardless of time frames or of any charges. It would be a way to clean the slate for all individuals the DS exercised lawfare against, absolve good people of bad, unjust "stains", so to speak. Vance (or whoever takes the reins next) can do the same for Trump himself if POTUS chooses to remain a "felon" during his upcoming term. We can call it "The Badass Term" as POTUS dismantles and shreds the DS for four solid years.
We know Trump will be aboveboard and legal in his dealings so when the inevitable caterwauling from FNM and all their puppet minions commences, well, by then the avalanche of disclosures ought to tamp down the evil ones a bit.
In short and IMHO, from an anon with no legal background, this move seems more suited to precedent-setting than compelling Hunter to testify against the DS players.
