    Exactly. Trump is about to pardon dozens/hundreds of treasonous terrorists (Jan 6th).

      Honestly, I doubt he will pardon more than a small number people, most of the Jan6ers have nothing that will gain Trump if they are pardoned, and they have shown to be dangerous towards government and authority, these are not people an authoritarian government will want on the streets.

      Past actions matter far, far less than future potential gains.

      Trump will be back in office, he has won, he doesn’t need the Jan6ers anymore.

      I am certain that he will pardon a few, to make it seem like he/the republicans care, but the majority will probably stay locked up.
