say it's a bit more than symbolic, Jonathan, in the sense that some of these people were clearly considered unindicted co-conspirators by Jack Smith in the investigation of the false elector scheme that resulted in the indictment of Donald Trump.

And they were certainly at risk of being charged federally.

Now, of course, that was never going to happen during this administration.

And there's a statute of limitations problem.

But often there are ways to get around statutes of limitations.

And so

Some of these people had some real risk of being charged criminally in the false elector scheme.

If a Democrat or someone who's not like minded with Donald Trump becomes the next president and controls the Justice Department.

So this is a big deal.

And it's just a continuation of of of what is happening within the Trump administration in terms of pardoning people who've committed barbaric,

very serious offenses.

In this case, haven't been charged with offenses, but are believed by many people to have engaged in misconduct.

And just it's about the political whims of Donald Trump.

It's about who he likes and who he wants to help.

And if you believe a certain way that was in his interest, you're liable for a pardon, whether it's the Jelaine Maxwell or or people who engaged in this false elector scheme.

Now, the thing to remember is there are still

There were state attorneys general investigations into various false elector schemes around the country.

It's unclear exactly what's happening with those.

But these pardons, of course, would not apply to state charges.

And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
