Are Trump's pardons now just a preview of Trump upcoming pardons of Stone and Flynn?

Good thing that he has "learned his lesson." McConnell & the Senate Republicans letting Trump

Because he turned on him.

On the other hand, he could give a pardon to Cohen just so he could scream "AM I NOT MERCIFUL?" in the style of Commodus from Gladiator.
