On the flip side I suspect that this is just Trump doing what he has done many times before and creating a big todo by posing a hypothetical in public in order to divert attention from something else. He hasn't pardoned anyone nor has he made any OFFICIAL effort to do so...I suspect he is just playing the media in a masterful way

I don't see this as him playing the media. I see this as him almost behaving like an angry child. To me, he is basically saying, "If you stick with your fake news, bullshit liberal media investigation long enough to try to pin something on me or my family, I'll just pardon us all, including myself, so you might as well just give it up and leave me alone."
