Lindsey Graham warned Trump in public, and many others did the same behind closed doors, not to pardon the Capitol Rioters. The reasons are numerous, but the key question is "Will Trump pardon the rioters?"
I think he won't because then he'd have to take responsibility for the insurrection and attack on the Capitol. This means all of those rioters will be left swinging in the breeze by Trump. Facing hard prison time will, no doubt, convince most of the criminals to cut deals to save their own asses....mostly fat middle-aged asses, but asses just the same.

He is trying to distance himself from them so no he won't.

Not a lawyer, but from what I've read, it's a distinct possibility. However, I strongly doubt Trump would do it since, if he did, then he's confessing to his own guilt of starting the insurrection.
Junior is guilty too. Trump will probably pardon his guilty children, but not the thousands who attacked the Capitol.

The most interesting part to me is how Trump's failure to pardon his fans, the very people he and Junior told to attack the Capitol, will affect his popularity with all of his fans not in jail.
I suspect Trump's popularity with his fans has peaked and that by failing to pardon them, he has effectively jumped the shark. He can spend millions on Trump TV and Trump social media, but it will become a money pit as his lies and betrayals are remembered.
Trump has painted himself into a Lose-Lose position. He fucked himself and will be popularly known as the Biggest Loser of the United States.
Chrissy Teigen is correct: Trump is the Pussy Assed Bitch of the United States.

Agreed, Flynn took a plea deal. Americans know this, Russian bots not so much.
The plea deals Trump's Rioters will be making will dismantle the network of RW terrorism built up over the past few years. Hundred will go to Federal prison for their crimes.

former national security adviser Michael Flynn announced on Friday that he was cooperating with prosecutors and ready to testify about Russian contacts.
After months of silence and invisibility, Flynn walked into a federal courthouse in Washington DC on Friday morning and pleaded guilty to one count of lying to the FBI. The plea was part of a larger deal with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, and strikes at the heart of the Trump White House.
