The January 6th 6

at least six Republican members of the House who played leading roles in Mr. Trump’s efforts to use Congress to overturn the election sought pardons for themselves and for all the Republicans who voted to reject electoral votes for Mr. Biden.

Matt Gaetz [rhymes with "Rapes"] of Florida
Mo Brooks of Alabama
Andy Biggs of Arizona
Scott Perry of Pennsylvania
Louie Gohmert of Texas
Marjorie Taylor ["I was allowed to believe things that were not true"] Greene of Georgia

In addition Jim Jordan of Ohio made a request for pardons for all MC’s who carried water for Trump.

Adam Kinzinger summed this up accurately: you don’t ask for a pardon for something you didn’t do. Asking for a pardon is tantamount to a confession.
