Except they agreed to the plea and didn't involve the 5th.

Agreement doesn't mean anything if it turns out they were coerced into the plea, and knowing the crap they went through, I wouldn't be surprised if they agreed under duress.
Their legal council certainly wouldn't allow that. They aren't being held without a lawyer or visitationl, they are free on bail and have a team of lawyers. The please makes complete sense given the DoJ moving goalpost.
All pleas are coerced. There’s only one reason anyone takes a plea ideal— it’s because you are quite literally being threatened with violence and imprisonment by the government.
