  1. An amnesty law was passed and non of the characters of that 2017 sedition went to jail. He actually can receive it but after he faces a judge (which is unnecessary but the judge is whacky). Dude just loves drama.

  2. Its a major scandal. Already several police officers have been arrested and it could be dozens when all is said and done.

    And its not a self imposed exile. He cannot return without facing arrest.
