Seems like a non-story, why wouldn't trump simply pardon them? These would be some of the more obvious pardons to hand out, and there's clearly no longer a precedent by either party to hand out pardons sparingly.
a big round of pardons may come before new elections, it actually may be in 10K numbers, autopen'd.
Really, this was pretty much the inevitable outcome from the start; Trump was always going to cut them loose.
