One of the very many things that I do not understand about the government, is how a government paid employee is allowed to not cooperate with investigations and suffer no negative impact.
In the private world, if an employee does not fully cooperate with investigations internal and external, it is certain termination and loss of all benefits. No appeal.
I simply do not understand why this logical standard does not apply to government. If you are a government employee and fail to fully and completely cooperative with an audit, internal investigation, legal case. Automatic termination, loss of all benefits, can never be rehired.

There is an EO issued by President Dwight Eisenhower that specifies that if a Govt Executive Branch employee pleads the 5th when testifying about their official job duties, they are to be fired immediately. That EO is still in effect, but who will enforce it????

Absolutely! None of what you listed is criminal prosecution - which should be illegal based only on failure to testify against yourself. The same could probably apply to civil cases where there is a potential judgment against you. But non-criminal penalties like getting fired are absolutely allowed if your employer is the one doing the questioning - and supposedly all government employees work for us, who assess things through the court system.
