Right.

And so in this case, the forgiveness, the stuff that he is sort of the big vector for is under the label of, let's say, politically motivated persecutions.

Yes.

That's like his deal.

What my Trump board lawyer source guy also pointed out is that, of course, there's also Alice Johnson, who's the pardon czar.
