But again - why call Jamie to the presser?
I do think this may be John, in his own gruff-ass Dutton way, trying to protect Jamie from himself.
I mean how much public scrutiny does John really want Jamie facing. And yeah, now he'll face it, but with a lot more savvy (and a fair amount more "IDGAF") than Jamie would have.
I almost wonder if he doesn't feel like he's stepping in front of a bullet for Jamie, just as much as for Montana writ large.
