Enter Occam's Razor. The most simple explanation is the correct one. The simplest answer was he was coerced, and that I do believe is the answer we don't want to accept. Why is it that we think the supreme court is immune to the corruption we see in congress and the rest of government? Well we just found out it's not.
For someone who was coerced or worried, he seemed awfully jocular today when he "quipped" about finding an impregnible fortress to hide in, at a "posh Pennsylvania resort" before he leaves the country for some months.
If he was coerced or worried, he sure covers it up well.
