the question for the guilty shouldnt be what was wrong - its what was worth 4 years.
It does appear that plenty got <12 months time served and that trump mightve been thinking of them when he pardoned the more severe ones.
I agree with the pardons for non-violent offenders of "seditious conspiracy" - whatever that is supposed to mean — but it is a dark hour when violent criminals get released.
I suspect this is trump acting in vendetta for all the ridiculous overplaying of the day that the democrats made over the last four years. And that in itself is worrying
