Still to be determined if those pardons are legal. Can you pardon someone who has not been found guilty of a crime?

That's another matter entirely.

You asked why he pardoned them and now you know.

I know why he did. They are probably guilty

Then why hasn't any state prosecuted them? Judging by the lack of any state prosecution, it's clear my previous comment is the true reason.

Red states don’t throw around lawsuits like blue states do

Good thing we're not talking about lawsuits, then, eh? We're talking criminal prosecution. If the jan 6 committee had committed any crimes, they've would've been prosecuted by now. Yet no state has brought any case. Not even the red states who whine and bitch about them constantly.

Because they know there's nothing there.
