What's your take on that strategy in order to get around the federal pardon? I like this. I really do. I think if, unfortunately in Texas, I have begged the legislature to give the attorney general original jurisdiction for criminal cases. The only thing I've gotten back, I've been able to do voter fraud. I've gotten human trafficking. It took me years to get it. And we do any kind of abortion. (16:02–16:09)
