Trump could have easily pardoned only those January 6 prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes, but he chose to also pardon and commute the sentences of rioters who committed violence against police officers — and even far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders convicted of seditious conspiracy.
