UPDATE: Gaps in Trump’s Pardons Apply to Bannon Criminal Charges As Well
https://www.justsecurity.org/74241/the-gaps-in-trumps-pardons-how-the-biden-administration-can-still-pursue-justice/

It's a long read but here is the relevant part about Manafort I was referring to.

The pardon for Paul Manafort (on Dec. 23, 2020), is illustrative. By its own terms, the pardon covers only the crimes “for his conviction” on specific charges and not any other crimes (charged or uncharged). Specifically, the pardon is solely for the crimes of conviction — eight in the Eastern District of Virginia and two in the District of Columbia. That leaves numerous crimes as to which Manafort can still be prosecuted, as in Virginia there were 10 hung counts. In Washington, the situation is even more wide open. In that district, Manafort pleaded to a superseding information containing two conspiracy charges, while the entire underlying indictment — containing numerous crimes from money laundering, to witness tampering, to violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act — now remains open to prosecution as there was no conviction for those charges.

Good for him, showing backbone to stay the course of his beliefs. It may cost him his seat in a future election or maybe those opposed to him now will later come to their senses. 

I can't say I know enough about Sasse  or the others mentioned in the article but if they hold true to what they think is right and wrong then that's good. Both sides of the aisle need more people like that. Sasse shouldn't care what the Nebraska Republican party thinks but only what his constituents do. I'm guessing Sasse's stances on various issues resonate's with the voters there.

I've always joked that Nebraska is full of tax and spend Republicans. Basically people vote R because that's what their parents did, and that's what they think they should do, and of course the dems are evil socialists... but policy-wise, the state seems much more left-leaning than the other states around it in my experience. Well-funded schools, tons of public work projects going on, registering a car costs roughly a billion dollars, etc...

All that said, I'm sure plenty there will hate him for this, for the exact reasons he mentioned.

I had an aunt from Nebraska. As my uncle used to say: " People don't live in Nebraska, they just exist there."

plan the trip, buddy - it'll be worth your while.
