Saint James Hartline @JamesHartline - MAJOR BREAKING NEWS — A National and Criminal Embarrassment: House autopen probe deems Cadaver Joe Biden’s pardons void, asks the DOJ to review legality of executive actions.
A monthslong House investigation has concluded that President Biden “was losing command of himself” while in office and was not personally involved in many of the pardons, commutations and other executive actions signed by an autopen.
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked the Justice Department to “address the legal consequences” of House investigators’ conclusion, which “deems void” executive actions and clemency warrants signed by the autopen during the Biden administration that do not include documentation proving the president made the decision.
“The Committee requests that you investigate all executive actions taken during the Biden Administration to ascertain whether they were duly authorized by the President of the United States,” Chairman James Comer wrote.
The letter was addressed to AG Pam Bondi after the release Tuesday of a 91-page report authored by the Republican-led committee on Biden’s use of the autopen, his apparent cognitive decline while president, and the “delusion and deception” among White House aides who Republican lawmakers say covered it up.
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee interviewed more than a dozen members of the Biden White House inner circle to seek their recollection of the former president’s mental acuity while in office and their roles in the frequent use of the autopen to sign critical documents on his behalf.
“Our report reveals how key aides colluded to mislead the public and the extraordinary measures they took to sustain the appearance of presidential authority as Biden’s capacity to function independently diminished,” said GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman Comer.
Biden issued more pardons and commutations than any other president in history, and most were signed with a mechanical signature even though he was physically present in the White House. His chief of staff, Jeff Zients, oversaw the autopen signatures.
The autopen signed commutations for thousands of federal prisoners, many of them violent offenders, and was used to commute the sentences of nearly every federal inmate on death row, among them people convicted of murder in the deaths of children and law enforcement officers. The autopen was also used to pardon members of Biden’s family and top political allies who he feared would be prosecuted under the Trump administration.
Cadaver Joe Biden issued clemency to more than 4,200 people.
