Biden ignored DOJ warnings over legally flawed autopen pardons
 
Senior Justice Department officials were left scrambling to interpret sweeping clemency orders former President Joe Biden approved for thousands of federal convicts in his final days in office, and they chastised the White House for falsely portraying the releases as limited to “nonviolent” offenders, according to internal emails.
 
The records, obtained by the Oversight Project and reviewed by the Washington Examiner, reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer, the department’s top career official at the time, raised alarms immediately after Biden issued three autopen-signed warrants on Jan. 17, covering nearly 2,500 inmates.

Biden DOJ confused by warrant language

In a Jan. 18 message to White House counsel and the DOJ’s Office of the Pardon Attorney, Weinsheimer wrote that one warrant granting clemency for “offenses described to the Department of Justice” was so vague it could not be lawfully carried out.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The DOJ and Biden were confused?  No wonder it was such a mess of an administration. :whistle:
