The controversy surrounding Joe Biden’s last-minute “autopen” pardons is heating up fast and furious style. What began as little whispers here and there about his mental decline and shady late-night decisions has exploded into a full-blown scandal, with evidence now piling up that reveals an autopen was used to issue sweeping pardons for high-profile political figures like Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the J6 Committee.
These “preemptive pardons” raised a lot of eyebrows from the start. They were issued in the dead of night, under a cloud of suspicion, and signed not by Biden himself but by a machine. Now, America is asking: Are these pardons even legal?
And even more importantly: Who was actually making these pardons?
As the outrage builds, Congressman James Comer is leading the charge to find the truth:
James Comer:
🚨UPDATE🚨
As we aggressively investigate the cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline and the unauthorized use of the autopen, I’m now demanding more former Biden staffers come before Congress:
Karine Jean-Pierre Ian Sams Andrew Bates Jeff Zients
Americans deserve answers.
And now, reports have surfaced that Jeff Zients, Biden’s Chief of Staff, was the one who personally approved the use of the autopen to sign pardons for some of the most controversial political actors in modern history.
Publius:
BREAKING: Biden Official Jeff Zients Approved AUTOPEN for Last-Minute Pardons of Fauci, Jan 6 Committee Members, & others. Trump Demands Nullification – Are Autopens Constitutional for Presidential Pardons?
If that weren’t enough, the case of General Mark Milley is pouring gasoline on the fire. Who can forget this treasonous stunt he pulled?

Trump ally Roger Stone isn’t waiting around either. He’s calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to bring charges against Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress. Stone’s point is clear: let Fauci claim he has a pardon, then challenge the constitutionality of the autopen in court.
Roger Stone:
I CALL ON AG PAM BONDI TO CHARGE FAUCI FOR LYING TO CONGRESS!
And when, in his legal defense, claims that he cannot be charged because he has a preemptive pardon, the government can finally test the legality of the autopen in which all of those documents should not be honored.
And speaking of Fauci, he’s the real kicker in all of this. There is no 100 percent confirmation that his pardon was signed by an autopen, thanks to a New York Times piece.

Here’s a close-up of the image:

And it’s that New York Times piece that is fueling this latest backlash. And when you see thigs like, “Joe Biden hit back against…” you know good and well that Joe Biden doesn’t know what day it is, let alone what’s unfolding with this autpen scandal.
Newsweek:
Former president Joe Biden has hit back at Republican claims that the use of an autopen showed he was not capable of making clemency decisions as a list shows the high-profile pardons he granted using the device, according to The New York Times.
The Department of Justice and the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee have opened investigations into Biden’s use of an autopen for pardon and clemency warrants near the end of his term and whether his officials covered up his mental decline.
President Donald Trump has said these pardons and commutations were illegitimate and showed how Biden’s staff ran the presidency in his name using the device.
But Biden’s interview hits back at the accusations as he insisted he had consciously made pardons and that the use of the device was legitimate given the volume of signatures. Last month, Trump ordered an investigation into Biden’s actions as showing cognitive decline as he cited his predecessor’s appointment of federal judges and acts of clemency.
The newspaper said it had seen correspondence about the pardons and commutations in Biden’s final weeks of office in which the former president’s staff used an autopen.
Trump and his allies see the autopen as more than just a bureaucratic shortcut—they see it as smoking-gun proof that Biden’s handlers were running the presidency in his name, handing out politically charged pardons behind closed doors and without legal weight.
According to reports, the autopen was used to sign off on at least 25 clemency warrants between December 2024 and January 2025. These pardons were divided into four broad categories, covering cases like non-violent drug offenses, COVID-related home confinement, and death sentence commutations.
There’s a whole laundry list of bad eggs who got fake “preemptive” pardons, including members of Biden’s family:
James Biden Valerie Biden Owens Sara Jones Biden
For many in the MAGA base, this wasn’t clemency; it was a corrupt safety net for Biden’s inner circle, rubber-stamped by a machine at the eleventh hour.
Now, here’s the big legal question on everybody’s mind: Does a mechanical autopen signature carry the full weight of presidential authority, especially when that so-called “president” can’t form a coherent sentence on his own?
And since we’re talking about Biden’s mental state, let’s not forget his own doctor recently pleaded the Fifth when asked about his cognitive abilities while in office. That says it all, right?

Will these fake pardons collapse under scrutiny?
Stay tuned, this scandal is just getting started…
Spoiler alert. Any such case that reaches the Supreme Court will demonstrate that at least 5, 6, and maybe even 7 justices will declare the pardons/auto pen are just swell. Guaranteed.
I’ll bet it’s all sitting on Blondi’s desk and …well nothing that’s what
“Everything done by Biden needs to be undone. Every penny stolen needs to be replaced. Every single penny. People involved should pay the price with their fortune and their lives.”

Arrest them all for anything. Then let’s see if their pardons hold up in court.
Biden MAY have given verbal approval of the pardons, but did he even see a list of who was being pardoned? Who compiled the list of those to be pardoned and given Biden’s impaired mental capacity could others have been added to the list without his knowledge or even verbal consent? His “pardons” of people not even indicted for any crime let alone convicted of anything cannot in my mind be legal. This is the equivalent of a “get out of jail free” card in Monopoly. Given the history of the Biden crime family some of these pardons may have been sold.

Laura Ingraham is reporting Biden said he DIDN’T approve them all tonight.
On January 17, 2025, Biden commuted the sentences of 2,490 people.[108]
On January 19, 2025, Biden pardoned former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley, former Chief Medical Advisor to the President Dr. Anthony Fauci, members of Congress and staff who served on the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee, in his final hours of office.[109] Later that day, he also granted pardons for three of his siblings and two of their spouses, former chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party Jerry Lundergan, and commuted the life imprisonment of Native American activist Leonard Peltier to home imprisonment for life.[110]
It should be only legal, if a sitting POTUS with a witness, signs a bill or executive order. No autopens, with the technology of today, POTUS could be in the darkest parts of Africa, and sign with his own hand, fax and return it by some method from his Luxurious and well protected AF One.
I can sign things on my laptop, legal documents. They are less important that things POTUS can sign.
OTOH, when POTUS is out of the country, the VP should be in charge while he is outside of American airspace. I seem to remember Barry Soetoro signing documents from a Hawaiian vacation.
Most likely not, I would rather the POTUS and his minions work on cleaning the voter rolls. It is not too difficult to make CITIZENS re-register. It has to be done within 1 year from right about NOW.
