Just quietly do it and make it seem like its a big mixup or something that somehow is only affecting Federalist Society members. If Congress complains just claim executive privilege and then pardon the GSA administrator as many times as you need to.

Yeah that only works if you're a Republican. This is the fastest way to full scandal treatment by the press. The rules of the media are different for Dems and GOP. Don't believe me? How many front page stories for Trump using unsecured phones vs "her emails?"
not a lot of people are talking about this but it seems pretty fucking hard to hold the POTUS in contempt for a whole lot of things all of the sudden (and it was already hard in the first place)
