The moment they realized that Trump's "plan" was not going to work.

They began to talk about a "blanket pardon".

It wasn't just the six Representatives mentioned in yesterday's hearing.

Immediately after the attack on our Capitol, after their lives were threatened, they were able to return to the Capitol and 147 Congressmen and Senators voted not to certify the election for Joe Biden. They were all in on the conspiracy at that time.

When they realized that it wasn't going to work, they thought it might be a good idea to get a pardon from their Leader. Someone floated the idea of a "blanket pardon" for all of them.

We will likely learn more about these pardons in the days ahead.

So therefore "screw all y'all" from the Slobfather.

Which is EXACTLY what should've been, in turn, expected by them.

I'm hearing a lot of anecdotal evidence that Trump's support group are finally seeing the light.
