DOJ continues Biden autopen probe despite former president unlikely to face charges
Investigation focuses on whether Biden personally approved each pardon and commutation in final months of his administration

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. :nono:

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.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
