I think it's more personally self-serving than that. They're all fine with a corrupt justice system until there's a risk it might be pointed at them. The same way they were completely fine with watching cities across America burn (and even bailing out the perpetrators), but an unguided tour of the Capital was the worst thing since 9/11.
But if the system can go after Trump, Biden, and their families it's a threat to the political class and must be stopped.
Right, Fettie just said that if it's coming from politics, you should get a pardon. If the prosecutor goes after you for any other reason, he didn't talk about that.
Fetterman has always had a soft spot for criminals - I think this might be him actually being consistent in his beliefs, unlike your average anarcho-tyrant who will fawn over murderers and rapists but try to annihilate the good man who defends himself.
It’s a play. This way they can pretend both were “bad actors”. How quickly people forgot the sweetheart deal that almost went through for hunter.

Edit: Also, I think that is a bit personal for Fetterman. He's got some experience with courts being used by political opponents. When he was a mayor, feuding with the with the council, they tried to get him on permitting stuff.
