If someone who has access to your house steals your checkbook—cashes a bunch of checks in your name—and then returns the checkbook to the proper place in your house...
It is OK, right?
It was your checkbook after all!
You would be a fool to complain about it.
Lol.
Good post—gets to the heart of the issue here.
Let us see what the White House procedure was under the last administration.
So many people believe that one man and his cabinet picks can turn the tide of decades of abuse in under ninety days. So many things are out of their control. They don’t even know where all their enemies lurk.
3 of the pardons were for cop killers.
1 pardon was for a man that killed an 8 year old child and its mother to prevent her from testifying in court.
Biden, for all his faults, would not have knowing issued those pardons. For most of his career he was considered a “tough on crime” politician
I think this is the smoking gun that, for at least some instances, someone else was running executive orders and pardons trough the autopen without Biden’s knowlege.

excerpt
An autopen is a device that physically holds a pen and is programmed to replicate a person’s signature. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel determined in 2005 that the president is permitted to use an autopen to sign bills into law, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued a ruling in February that said the absence of “a writing does not equate to proof that a commutation did not occur.”
“The constitutional text is thus silent as to any particular form the President’s clemency act must take to be effective,” the circuit court said in its opinion.
Trump raised the issue of Biden utilizing an autopen to sign pardons — including some for lawmakers who served on the House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot — in a social media post on Sunday. Trump claimed in the post that the pardons were “VOID” and accused Biden of not having knowledge of their signing.
“In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime,” Trump said in his post.
A spokesperson for Biden did not provide comment on the record to Fox News Digital.
Is an autopen a real signature?
Unlike a regular electronic signature, which is just a digital photo of a real signature, autopens use a robotic arm with a pen attached to manually replicate a digitally-stored version of the signature.

How to tell if something is an auto pen?
Autopen signatures have a yellowing around them! ...
The Autopen always leaves a dot at the start and finish! ...
An Autopen signature never has any variation in line thickness. ...
Autopen signatures are always in felt tip pen. ...
Most of today’s TV and music stars use an Autopen to sign autographs.
Part of the “flood the zone” strategy is to raise so many ideas and options, some of them are just flashes in the pan, and the other side is at a complete loss as to what to do.
“That was a brilliant investigation you conducted.
The FBI is looking for coverup artists like you.”
I’m glad you liked it. Happy to provide my wisdom to people like yourself who struggle to discern conspiracy from reality.
See post 41—glad to see you don’t fall for any of those crazy conspiracy theories.
Lol.
That is a different fact pattern than I suggested. Reading comprehension is really lacking in this thread. My contention is Biden will say he approved use of the pen and if that homeowner approved the use of those checks, it too would be a nothing burger.
The way to set this up is to indict a pardoned nobody. Let them raise “pardon” as a defense to the indictment. Discovery ensues. Biden won’t have the fainest idea who this person is other than whatever he is told before his deposition. And, there won’t be any paper trail.
It is probably true but not a hill to die on.
We have to fight for the future and balance that fight against the fight over the corrupt past.
There is just so much of both.
Except there’s no proof at all that anything remotely similar to that happened. Which is why this is a non-issue.
I’ve shared this on several threads but my son ran the auto pen for a secretary under Trump’s first term. He would do a 2-3” stack of letters everyday for different inquires from around the federal government. Most letters were sourced by department lawyers and then signed using AP and it was considered a legal reply from the secretary himself.
Was there a log entry for each autopen signature?
This is perfect Surrender Monkey red meat. If they don’t see something every day they assume it is no longer happening.
They are forever the 6 year olds in the back of the car repeatedly asking ‘Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”
It’s been used by other presidents for a while. All Bidung has to do is to say he authorized it. Doesn’t matter if he did or not, he could say that, and that’s it.
We had this discussion.
A Special Counsel has already ruled that Biden’s memory cannot be trusted.
Oh, I know, but no one really cares. If they did something would be done. Kind of like Barry Zero’s birth certificate.
