      Not pardoning him would piss them off more and gives them zero firepower on the topic…

      Edit: legitimate firepower anyways…they would still claim some bullshit about he’s a bad dad and doesn’t protect his son or some garbage like that.

        Honestly, there’s a contingent who would dislike him less if he used a pardon to protect his son

          See those people don’t actually like corruption, they just like winning. If they lose then corruption is bad, if they win then it’s just being clever. So they’d still hate him, probably moreso.
