Trump has badly abused him, just like everybody else, but he is suddenly realizing he needs a pardon before being released into the wild. No, not by impeachment, by election.

His plan likely revolves around giving pence a pardon, resigning, and then pence pardoning him. That will only happen if he stops pissing pence off, so he threw him a bone and let him go to an air base.

He probably believes he can beat any nys charges like he always did. Or at least run to another country. But he needs a fed pardon.
