And when it comes to fraud, by the way, we should be prosecuting these people in Minnesota because you know what I fear about pardons from this guy? One of the biggest frauds, billions of dollars committed on this. A jury in America sentenced that guy to 40 years in prison. He served 12 days and Donald Trump gave him a full pardon. So if you're concerned about fraud and if the Republican friends come up here and start talking, they need to be asked, are you okay with that pardon? (17:11–17:20)

CLAIM
