The one non-prosecution of Trump deal I'd grudgingly support

If McConnell and Paul of Kentucky, Miller and Moran of Kansas, Collins of Maine, and Toomey of Pennsylvania all step down after the new Congress starts, then I'd support Biden's admin in fulfilling a non-prosecution agreement for Trump. But the offer has to be made soon, so the Republicans can turn on each other over support for Trump vs. support for keeping the Senate.

Note that these are all Republican US senators in states with Democratic governors who have full discretion over appointing a replacement.

As ambitious and power-hungry as Republicans are, though, it's doubtful they would accept the offer. That doesn't mean they wouldn't throw Trump under the bus in a heartbeat, as long as they could keep their Senate seats.

of all wrongdoing AND testimony under oath confessing every detail of criminal actions taken by everyone in the administration and the campaign. He would have to agree to a full nullification of his presidency.
