Apparently after the House released the Gaetz investigation material Dems are now pressuring Garland to release the jan 6 investigation.
New polling says almost 70%, more than 2/3 of the country is opposed to Trump pardoning them. Law enforcement is saying hundreds of them have prior criminal records, many of them violent histories. He wants to let the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers out.
So the thinking is release the whole report and make a big deal out of the release just to make it look even worse if Trump releases them
