And here's what he said.

Which gets back to that whole thing we were talking about at the start of this episode about schools of thought in international relations.

You know, the idea of realism or neoconservatism, imperialism, anything like that.

The document pardons all those associated with a plot to make false electoral slates that could have potentially interfered with the presidential certification on January 6th, 2021.

It names Trump campaign attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth Chesbrough, Mark Meadows and John Eastman, as well as dozens of other people who met often in secret to sign documents claiming they were legitimate electors in states actually won by Joe Biden.

The pardons are essentially symbolic, as none of the people pardoned have been charged with federal crimes.

Some are charged in their individual states, but the pardon has no impact on those cases.
