Checked out: Biden staff scrambled to make thousands of pardons look presidential

 By Susan Ferrechio - The Washington Times - Friday, September 5, 2025

New documents show that President Biden was checked out of decisions on pardoning felons and commuting the sentences of death-row inmates while his aides worked to make him look involved on paper.

The National Archives and Records Administration handed over Biden administration memos detailing steps taken to create a record that would make Mr. Biden look like the decision-maker for the thousands of pardons signed by autopen during his final days in office.

“Internal emails reveal Biden didn’t review thousands of pardons granted in his final days and even his own White House lawyers were scrambling for proof he approved them,” House Oversight and Government Reform Committee aides posted on social media.

Other newly leaked documents show the National Archives searched its records on the administration’s commutation of nearly every federal death sentence but could “not find a version indicating President Biden’s approval.”

The records were leaked to several news outlets amid a Trump administration probe into Mr. Biden’s historically heavy use of the autopen.

New Docs Blow Open Biden Autopen Scandal, Put Spotlight On Kamala Harris

Newly uncovered internal documents shed fresh light on former President Joe Biden’s use of the autopen and alleged outsourcing of decision-making during his final year in office.

The former president has insisted that he personally made all decisions regarding pardons, executive orders and proclamations, calling claims to the contrary “ridiculous and false.” However, internal memos and emails indicate that critical decisions — including clemencies — were quietly delegated to others, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, and it remains unclear whether Biden formally approved certain decisions, multiple outlets reported on Thursday.

Biden aides initially insisted he personally sign by hand any official presidential actions. But by the end of his term, the standard had been abandoned, according to an internal memo obtained by Just the News.

“Based on precedent from the Obama-Biden Administration regarding which documents generally are hand-signed by the President, our recommendation is that as a general rule, YOU personally approve and hand-sign all decisions that require Presidential action,” reads a February 2021 draft memo distributed to top White House officials. ...

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

They have no morals, so there is no limit.

The Biden Presidency was lawless.

They had a revolutionary mentality ... the ends justify the means.

The crux of the American system of Government is the means, not the ends.

The means are structured to slow the roll of radicals and fickle mobs.

The Dems use the Deep State to gut, corrupt, and circumvent the means for the sake of expedient political ends.
