IMNAL however I don't understand how you can "pardon" someone when no charges have even been filed.
These sorts of preemptive & blanket pardons would seem to be unconstitutional
Nixon's pardon was also preemptive (though targeted more at one person, obviously).

As it related to Watergate and articles of impeachment were drafted by a House committee which led to Nixon resigning
Fauci or Milley or J6 committee were never charged with a crime. These preemptive pardons are intended to stifle any investigation or interrogation
Milley can still be court martialed
