Pardongate 2.0 is here! The writers really showed their hand with this one.
I highly doubt he'll pardon anyone involved in the Capitol insurrection because it would be a bad look while he tries to argue in the impeachment trial and possibly future criminal and civil trials that he didn't endorse the insurrection. Trump would gain nothing from it and he only gives a sh!t about what benefits himself.
I was actually thinking the same thing, and that probably goes for pardoning himself as well. It's another reason why going through with the second impeachment seems to have been worth it in disarming Trump from somehow being even more corrupt.
However, it still won't stop him from pardoning obvious criminals who deserved their sentences and only doing so out of shamelessness, spite, and/or rewarding loyalty. That's why I almost want to give kudos to Li'l Wayne for knowing what he would get out of endorsing Trump during the general election.
