    He could have pardoned them before he left office. Hell, he could have pardoned them before they actually did anything.

    I wouldn’t be surprised by anything from absolutely no pardoned all the way through blanket pardoned for FUTURE violence on lawmakers. AFAIK, in DC everything is federal jurisdiction and therefore everything is pardonable.

      Future pardons don’t exist, at least so far. That would require even more irrational contortions by the craven, corrupt Supreme Court, but I suppose it’s foolish to rule that out, based on their past lawlessness.
