So trump condemns the violence (he incited). I guess that means he won't pardon those involved?

1. The irony of it all

2. Reassuring that he's boxed in. If he blanket-pardons the insurrectionist mob, he further implicates

himself, already vulnerable to criminal charges. Since one of my biggest fears since this debacle is that the around-the-clock efforts of thousands of FBI and other LEO and USAGs to find, investigate and prosecute these people would be for naught, I'm feeling a bit better about the potential for justice.

3. Further evidence of this is potentially gained...

...by the insistence from Trump; to pressure a change in the current narrative.

A pardon does nothing to distance himself from that goal.

4. He won't pardon

Also in the speech he called fir all of the offenders to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

There was a very really belief among a significant portion of those in the terror attack that Trump would be issuing pardons for everyone. It was discussed during the planning of the attack. Brings joy to be knowing their hearts must have sank during they part of the speech.

7. I thought they behaved as if guaranteed no charges!

Ty!

8. That was going around on their social media

And not just rumors, there was clear direction that they’d all be pardoned. Things were said like, “if you’re with Trump you can’t be prosecuted” and “if we win there will be no prosecution.”

I read a lot about this in prior weeks, they clearly thought Trump had complete control of law enforcement and that law enforcement would joint them rather than fight them and arrest them. They were delusional but also misled badly on this.

5. Never understood why anyone suggested that he would.

6. Could they be pardoned as a group?

I’m guessing their individual names need to appear on separate pardons. Hundreds have already been arrested and Trump’s team is not about go through that list.

9. Why would he pardon Antifa?

Wow they've really tied themselves into a hell of a knot.
