We won by sending a message to the Senators and the Congressmen. We won by sending a message to Pence. ... That, if they dont do ... as their oath to do If they dont uphold the Constitution, then we will remove them from officeone way, or another.

First, the president can, in theory, pardon everyone who entered the Capitol Building, right now. He does not need to know their names. He does not need to know what they did. It doesnt matter if they have been prosecuted or even identified yet. President Jimmy Carter summarily pardoned all draft dodgers of the Vietnam War whether or not they had been arrested. Carters attorney general was ordered to halt all investigations of people not yet even charged. President Gerald Ford also granted a full, free, and absolute pardon [to] Richard Nixon for all offenses which he may have committed or taken part in. Presidents can pardon all [federal] offenses, before they are even investigated, as long as the conduct has actually occurred.
The president can pardon those who rioted at the Capitol. As ill-advised as this move may be, heres why he might.
