Trump will pardon primarily white collar criminals...

they're his "element," his kindred spirits. He loves his fellow cheaters and grifters and con men, so I predict 90% or more of his raft of pardons the next two days will be of that ilk, white collar criminals, just like himself.

He certainly doesn’t care for any of those low-class looking outlaws that broke into the Capitol . Besides they didn’t accomplish their mission.

He doesn't care if they are anarchists or hedge fund managers. ass, blow, or cash. nobody gets off free.

Luckily most of the anarchists are flat broke.

Why would he? What's in it for him? He already has their loyalty until death. Not a single 1 will hold it against Trump that he didn't pardon them.
