Around a dozen had their sentences commuted to time served, with offences retained on their record.

Accepting a pardon means you admit you're guilty.

Would that include Hunter, Liz and the others? 

There's a difference if you haven't been charged with anything and it's preemptive. But I believe Hunter had already pleaded guilty so it didn't really matter. Kind of like when Symington got a pardon from Bill Clinton after he had saved Clinton from drowning in college. Symington was guilty as sin and if he had been anyone else, he would have gone to prison just like Charles Keating.

commuting a sentence is not the same as pardoning

Legally, you are free and clear, guilty or not.

why would you need a preemptive pardon?

It doesn't matter if every single one of the pardoned J6ers are guilty of the crimes they were charged with.  BECAUSE pre-pardon, J6 dismissals were under 1%. Compare that to Portland where ~60% of federal cases were dismissed. BECAUSE that is the ideologic justice we were living under.  

Were most of the people guilty?  Yes.  Were people pre-detained for 300+ days?  Yes.  Were prosecutors trying to slap the hardest crime possible?  Yes.  Did rejected plea deals lead to escalating indictments?  Yes.  Coercion.  Yes.
