I think it's a given to say that The Hill will run with this story as a negative move by Trump and Biden's 11th hour pardons as a positive move by Biden. Fact is the majority of the Jan 6 protesters were non-violent with huge prison terms handed out to them and it's these that will get pardons and Biden's 11th hour pardons are to protect the guilty from federal charges. If the people Biden gave pardons to are innocent and have nothing to answer for they don't need to accept the pardons. BTW a federal pardon does not protect the person from state law processes. 

It's funny how right wingers accuse liberals of waging lawfare but yet can express opinions like this: " If the people Biden gave pardons to are innocent and have nothing to answer for they don't need to accept the pardons." Trump has his own personal history of pursuing baseless civil lawsuits in order to beggar those defendants. Now, he can use the Federal govt to do the same via baseless criminal law prosecutions.

As for your comment about state law processes: That's only true if they've committed a crime in violation of state laws. Doesn't seem like Trump is accusing them of those kind of violations..

As for Trup['s pardons...

"President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon virtually every person charged in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was a decision made at the last minute as inauguration approached — and one that surprised some of his supporters and aides. 

“He is who he is,” a person who worked on Trump’s transition team told NBC News. “Expectations are sometimes set as best as can be expected, and sometimes they change quickly.”"
