I won't have a lot to enjoy from here on out in the USA, so I'm going to enjoy every moment of these idiots realizing that Trump will never actually lift a finger to help them now that he doesn't have to.
I will eat my fucking hat if Trump actually pardons these people.
Tough to say for certain. There are zero political consequences for him now in pardoning them, and it will really 'own the libs', so I think there's a better than 50/50 chance he does it.

So it's back to 50/50
He might pardon a couple of them just to get a sound bite out of it, but once he's shown that he "won" by pardoning a couple he won't give a shit anymore and he'll leave the rest to rot in prison.
Yeh, fair point. Getting the last word in
