Sadly, it occurred to me that he’d do this almost as soon as the insurrection happened (and I posted about it then). I think there’s every chance he will. If he wants to outrage everybody, this is a great way of doing it. An added benefit is that he could announce those pardons at the same time as pardons for his family, Bannon, Guiliani and a self-pardon and they won’t get as much attention. On the other hand, Trump only does what helps him and if he thinks his best interests are served, then he’ll leave them to twist in the wind. But if he does this, he better hope that the insurrectionists aren’t able to lag him in as a co-conspirator. We’ve already seen that when he hung Michael Cohen out to dry, Cohen turned on him despite his earlier boasts he would take a bullet for Trump. And the pathetic example set by the crying Nazi shows that supposedly hard as nails extremists can turn to jelly when the jail doors open up.
There’s still the prickly issue of the police officer’s murder which complicates the idea of issuing broad pardons. But maybe Trump would derive some malicious pleasure by forcing the GOP to square such pardons with its Blue Lives Matter boasts.

Can a Presidential Pardon be revoked? I.e. could Biden revoke a clearly indulgent/frivolous Presidential Pardon?

Senator Lankford, a Republican Senator from Oklahoma, had been intending to join Cruz and Hawley and 8 other Senators in calling for the decertification of Electoral College votes but changed his mind after the Capitol was invaded. He’s now apologised to Black constituents, saying he didn’t realise Trump’s attacks on the voting centred around cities with large Black populations. Wow, a Republican ackowledging right-wing racism. Wonder whether it’s freezing in Hell atm ...

Holy mackerel, I just read that the Orange One is contemplating Martial Law... if his terrorist minions who've bought his rhetoric re the election being stolen and create enough 'combat' situations with police and the National Guard at the 50 state capitals, could he pull it off? I would put nothing past this creature, absolutely nothing.

More delusional ravings from Aurangzeb!
The martial law process is somewhat vague but Congress has a role. I think that should put the kybosh on any action the POTUS May attempt.
I reckon Pence would have to act to remove Aurangzeb from office if he tries anything.
