Except it’s not extortion bc there is no threat of action particularly of the sort where one is obligated or expected by duty or ethically, despite your dogged perception that circumstances can entitle one to a pardon.

Further, there is no muh quid pro quo threat of prison time as it predates this.

Of course it also helps that none of this even happened and is Fake News and misinformation, but again muh “extortion”.
