Bartlett knows that Charlies is completely loyal and would never lie, but Charlie WOULD lie to protect Jed.
Bartlett knows that and had to set him straight.
Charlie is more of a son to the President than either of the schmucks Liz and Ellie married.
Oliver Platt is a …relatively young guy compared to Martin Sheen, but …not a hint of imdimidation on Platt’s part interacting with Sheen. I mean I know it’s acting, but…
He showed true parental love in that scene.
Yeah. Ellie’s husband is good guy, a nerd. But not any kind of son to Jed you’re right.
And I don’t mean to judge, but how could Ellie, the daughter of Doctor, get accidently pregnant? I know it happens, but…
And Doug, Liz’s husband is a cheating creep.
…it’s masterful acting coupled with terrific writing, Big Thot. It makes ya feel ALL THE FEELINGS and rooms get unexpectedly dusty. 
have a lovely day dear.
