        in this case it is a scam but looks like this is a real thing:

        Among their clients was Joseph Schwartz, a nursing home operator convicted of tax evasion in April 2025. Schwartz paid Wohl and Burkman $960,000, although a White House official said that no one at the White House had spoken with either Wohl or Burkman about Schwartz’s case. Schwartz terminated their services, and later secured a pardon after enlisting another lobbying firm

          Sure, Trump is selling pardons, just not through those two morons.

          They’re just running con jobs on particularly dumb and cheap scumbags.
