If he failed in your "pardon" criteria, too fricking bad. It has nothing to do with "yes men". It has to do with being a patriot.
You have already made up your mind.
What I am saying is that if Trump felt that an injustice was being done to those participating in the Jan. 6 debacle (sound better than insurrection), he had the power as POTUS to pardon whomever he saw fit. That not me being partisan, that's actually a fact laid out in our Constitution. He didn't do so because he simply did not see it as worth the effort. And that is perfectly acceptable, but be honest about it.
I use the term Yes-men because that is honestly the type of person Trump wants. You can argue the ethics of it, but it's not illegal.
Chris Krebs, Mark Esper, the " Resignation" of Aaron Burr. You could go on with the number he let go just because of a simple disagreement.

Color me confused. Why wouldn't it simply be the case that Trump disavows any illegal acts having occurred on January 6th? He stated so in no uncertain terms, and I'm sure not too many people disagree with that position.

The DC power structure wants yes men. They're just better at using propaganda and euphemistic language to convey that than Trump, who is a bombastic arse. Marjorie Taylor Greene was stripped of committee assignments for wrongthink. Multiple prominent Democrats have argued that Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley should be expelled for wrongthink. Conservatives on social media are being censored for wrongthink. Biden has ordered the military to oversee a purge of soldiers for wrongthink. The American political establishment is ground zero for yes men, it's just the media you watch and believe is simply a mouthpiece for those same people.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Esper was let go because he disagreed with our withdrawal from Afghanistan so he was slow-rolling the process. His replacement ALSO disagreed with the withdrawal and that was common knowledge, but he pledged to carry out the president’s directions and not try to sabotage the effort.
