Former DOJ official warns ‘very disturbing things’ happened with Biden’s autopen pardons
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is continuing its investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen in the final months of his administration — focusing on pardons and commutations — though a senior official said Biden is unlikely to face criminal exposure.

A senior DOJ official told Fox News the autopen investigation is ongoing and not closed, adding investigators are reviewing clemency actions taken in the final months of the Biden administration.

The official also pointed out, however, that the use of an autopen by a sitting president is "established law."


The issue under review is whether the autopen was used in violation of the law, specifically, whether Biden personally approved each name included on pardon and commutation lists.

If any member of congress can be charged with a crime, the investigation is over.

Biden has plausible deniability. Dindu nuffin' Dinno nuffin' Where's my ice cream?

It's the lackeys who gathered around that font of power and drank deeply, for fun or profit, that are the ones who should be examined.
