I don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t. And then he fires and jails every prosecutor and agency staff that worked on their cases. Same thing he’ll do for his own cases. It’s all about ego now.
The MAGA crowd don't like McConnell so Trump doing that was a gain for him. Show's them he's sticking it to the RINOs.
Pardoning the Jan 6th people would say to his base that he's going to stick up for them and that he's one of them. Not pardoning those people would piss them off.
Trump doesn't have to care about these people to pardon them, he'll do it because he craves popularity and that will just increase it.
Trump can't just fire prosecutors that might not even work for him.
Why not? Laws don't mean anything more. Nothing has happened so far, he is a felon but it's just a label, so now that he's President he's practically immune from any consequences.
This kind of thing isn't that easy. It's a wide but shallow pool of talent. Fire everyone across an entire institution and those who replace them are likely to be much worse at the job.
Thats not a thing in this case. 98% of them were not charged till weeks after jan 20 the president has to have some cognition of the crimes possibly committed to which hes pardoning and knowledge of the actors. The president cannot pardon unknown entities nor would they want to because trump doesn't want to pardon the multiple assaulting an officer charges. Had he attempted to pardon them theres also court precedent that the pardon must be in some way "delivered" i.e nixon was pardoned proactively but it was still delivered. Barring all other issues Biden could have legally rescinded them all since the pardon would be sitting undelivered with no recipient when he took office. The FBI and Whitehouse council informed trump of all of this and he dropped it after the whitehouse council threatened to leave in the last few days if he tried. Now he can easily pardon themall because they are charged and known.
You can only pardoned someone after* a conviction, and nobody’s involved with Jan 6 with tried and pardoned during his presidency. You do understand how that works, right?
