Yeah, the point would be to bar him from running for political office in the future.

1. Will he try to do this?
2. Would it be legal?
3. Are there any ways to counteract it?
4. What would the broader consequences of a mass pardon be?
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
Yes Trump can pardon the insurrectionists since it was a Federal crime. He can't pardon State crimes but since DC isn't a State everything in DC falls under the purview of Federal.
No he won't (I think) as it's against his own self interest.
If he pardons the criminals then that means that the Feds can't spend their time and effort going after the people who committed the crimes. It will also be impossible for the likes of Graham etc to say "justice has been done, let's draw a line in the sand and move on" though he'd try to find a way.
Instead the Feds would have no recourse to respond besides going after the person who instigated it - him. He would be setting himself up as the only fall guy left. Especially if it's ruled a self-pardon is unlawful.
If he doesn't pardon them he can leave them swinging in the wind to take the fall as he walks away saying "oh that? Terrible, nothing to do with me. But I was robbed and people are angry ..."
As always with Trump he will look after number one first. Letting his supporters face the courts instead of him is in his self interest.
Rand is probably right. These are just more people who failed him, after all. They didn't compel Congress, they're useless to him now, and so unless they can pony something up for him he's got no interest in providing them with pardons.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"

Close ties. Hope there will be more in-depth investigations.

John Earle Sullivan - he also a Proud Boy?
He's a grifter, but I'm not sure what you think bringing up the exception that proves the rule will accomplish. The evidence is overwhelming wrt who the criminals were, what affiliations they have, what their goals were and what drove them. 99% of the attackers were combinations of right-wing, MAGA, Republican, white supremacist extremists and QAnon nutters. It is genuinely weird to focus on the one person whose only allegiance is to shit-stirring. Kinda shows that you're full of shit.

Tip of the iceberg.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
After the reports on the day of Police Officers in MAGA hats etc this video is eye opening. A very brave, courageous and clever Officer to engage single handedly with a mob like that and probably saved people's lives. Amusing to hear that he's a registered Democrat - imagine feeling the threat to life is so severe the only way you can safely do your job is to put on one of those stupid hats and tell the crowd you support Trump.
Credit to the force. Shame it came to that. Still he's probably lucky someone caught the whole thing on his phone so it's so clear exactly what he was doing.

Pretty much every single one of the attackers that have been arrested and identified have straightforward MAGA/QAnon/militia/white supremacist profiles.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
I think that what Lewk is saying is that Trump's supporters are so dull witted and weak willed that thousands of them can be controlled by a single random guy, and that they should get leniency for reasons of the mental retardation that all MAGA folks suffer from.
Except that:
He has a history with MAGA, and since he's been to Proud Boys events, but never done more with BLM than voice support. He's got more claim to being a Proud Boy than whatever org Lewk is trying to dump him on.“At <Sullivan's> second protest he invited the Proud Boys on stage, he invited the militias on stage and said, ‘We want to work with you, we want to be friends with you,’” Scott said. “That is when he officially got blackballed by the activist community.”

Because what is more patriotic than attempting to sell information to the Russian intelligence services.

I think this is the thread for Trump's Insurrection, right?
If McConnell found a spine, he probably knows where the RNC hid every other Republican's. I think there's going to be a conviction.
