First, Trump pardoned the violent insurrectionists who beat cops.
Now, he pardons the key instigators of January 6th.
We need to see this for what it is:
An attempt to erase history, so it can be repeated.

Though none of the crooks have been charged Federally yet, my suspicion is either Bondi or Patel (or both?) found evidence of investigations into each and every co-conspirator named.
The Felon In Chief decided on preemptive pardons to stop any future DOJ from charging them or digging even deeper.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!
Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

13) I think Dem leadership still suffers from frame drag. They think it's the 90s. Trump is dismantling the powers of Congress. They have to rise to that moment and demand big things.

These are paper pardons with no teeth as NONE of the people he “pardoned” were charged federally.
The Felon’s pardon power only covers fed charges, not the state charges they face or faced, so this is basically symbolic fodder for Foxnews & The Felon’s starving base to distract from shutdown pain.
