There is no mechanism that would allow Trump to release Derek Chauvin from prison and the effort to create one would be too much effort for Trump himself to commit to.

The rest of his presidency would be wasted on just focusing on that issue.

Trump is all about maximum impact with very little effort on his part.

It's not worth it for Trump

No, it is absolutely is worth it. This isn't about D.C. , it is about under mining state rights to strengthen his dictatorship...

Best he could do is pardon the federal charges just to spark outrage and further sow division

I'd expect that much, but Chauvin isn't leaving jail either way
