Rioters seeking pardons admitting guilt?

[SmartVoter22]

We all know how misinformation leads some into very dark actions.
The Capitol Insurgency is a perfect example of 'lemmings over the cliff' brainwashing.
Not understanding is not an excuse. There is 'cause & effect' for any action in our nation.

Knowingly entering a secure site (the capitol) which is clearly signed and guarded, and then after warnings to not enter..one decides to enter could not be misunderstood. Every single person, at the capitol, on Jan 6th violated at least one law.
Since then, there are many who are realizing the fact that actions have consequences.

Now, there is a flood of people seeking last minute pardons from Trump for their part in the coup attempt.
The pardon requests, since the coup attempt, will help the FBI find and indict many of the traitors.

When you request a pardon, you are admitting guilt to committing a serious crime.
