That's the only thing I can see in this. Everyone, me included, thought no shot he gets charged with anything. Is this to force the puppet's hand on pardoning his own criminal son? Was he told ahead of time, "no way will a jury find him guilty on anything, so go ahead and make the statement you won't pardon him"? This puts the puppet in a very bad spot. Will he pardon him? I hope he does! Those optics will be even more insane.
