There is big news coming out of the DOJ today with confirmation that an official investigation in to the Autopen scandal has been started.
But there’s something more than went slightly under the radar for the past week related to this story. (And I can’t believe I’m just now seeing it!)
Not only has US Pardon Attorney Ed Martin confirmed that he has been ordered to investigate the sketchy pardons, but he also has a “senior, senior Democrat” allegedly spilling the beans on the whole thing.
And something that has only been presumed up to this point came up during his discussions with this high-ranking Democrat whistleblower who Martin says is “at the highest level” — those controlling Biden’s Autopen were purportedly making money off their usurped power!
The information about Ed Martin’s whistleblower actually came out nearly two weeks ago, but somehow what SHOULD have been the main story for days was somewhat buried!
We have known for sometime that Martin was on the trail of corruption regarding the Autopen and their use on Biden’s pardons.
He made these comments just after his DOJ appointment, leaving the question open that the “autopen pardons” could be corrupt:
“We’ve never seen pardons of this scope, and it looks like it could be corrupt.”

But with all the backtracking and unimpressive goings on at Pam Bondi’s DOJ at the time, cutting a trail of unmet expectations — Ed Martin’s appointment to the Pardon Attorney position was sort of taken with a certain amount of skepticism.
Not because anyone on the conservative side doubted Ed Martin, but because everyone knew he’d be taking his marching orders from Pam Bondi.
And let’s face it. There are still some questions there on her loyalty and authenticity.
I have to give credit where credit is due. Not long after Martin spoke up about the Democrat whistleblower for the first time, Alex Jones was hot on the story.
He was one of the only ones covering it who didn’t bury the most important details within the surrounding static.
Here was Alex Jones pointing to the existence of this high-level Democrat whistleblower more than a week ago! :

But something has shifted with the DOJ’s confirmation that the investigation is legit and underway.
Mainstream media is suddenly starting to pick up on what Ed Martin was saying week’s ago. (Which has all the look of their usual game of C-Y-A.)
Here’s coverage that popped up yesterday, not only detailing the reality of the investigation, but referencing an email from Ed Martin about the investigation, as reported by Reuters:
A senior official in Republican U.S. President Donald Trump’s Justice Department told staff on Monday that he has been directed to investigate clemency granted by Democrat Joe Biden in the waning days of his presidency to members of his family and death row inmates.
Ed Martin, the Justice Department’s pardon attorney, wrote in an email seen by Reuters that the investigation involves whether Biden “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means.”
Just before he relinquished the presidency to Trump on January 20, Biden pardoned five members of his family, saying he wanted to protect them from future politically motivated investigations. The pardons went to Biden’s siblings James Biden, Frank Biden and Valerie Biden Owens as well as their spouses, John Owens and Sara Biden. Biden on December 1 pardoned his son Hunter Biden, who had pleaded guilty to tax violations and was convicted on firearms-related charges.
Martin told reporters last month that he viewed the presidential pardon power as “plenary,” meaning it is absolute.
“If you use the autopen for pardon power, I don’t think that that’s necessarily a problem,” Martin said during a May 13 press conference, adding that he still felt the Biden pardons warranted scrutiny. (Emphasis added.)
I would point out the sections I highlighted in bold text.
That’s the mainstream trying to plant the seed for future use that Martin said Presidential pardons are “plenary”; absolute.
But they downplay the true argument that this isn’t a fight over Presidential pardon power. It’s about whether the President actually made the DECISION to issue those pardons!
Here’s a clip of Ed Martin talking to Mark Halperin about the whistleblower, and what he has learned from the information the person has revealed:
HOLEE SHIZZLES‼LAWYER UP!

Some of that information spilled out in to the internet and made news.
That’s not the first time Ron Klain and Anita Dunn’s name came up in this conversation, to be sure.
But even though Ed Martin included Anita Dunn in the mix, saying at one point that she had been the person primarily in control of the information flowing from the Biden White House…
Even Anita Dunn came out AGAINST Biden’s pardon of Hunter Biden in many ways:
The fact that Anita Dunn was openly frustrated that she wasn’t even informed about the intent to pardon Hunter tells me she was probably part of that power struggle over the Autopen.
That STRONGLY argues in favor of the information that Ed Martin has discussed from his investigation, and the Democrat whistleblower.
But it doesn’t sound like Anita Dunn was the one pulling the Autopen strings when it came to all those pardons.
One account on X that I rely on a lot for information did point out at the time that there was even more than just the unauthorized use of the Autopen, but apparently those using it were making money from it’s use!:

Here’s the full text from that post, detailing what SHOULD be a much bigger story in the media at the moment! :
HOLEE SHIZZLES‼LAWYER UP!
🚨Associate Deputy AG Ed Martin has a Whistleblower, who was a SENIOR DEMOCRAT OFFICIAL for Joe Biden, Claiming three Key Democrats were Selling Access to Joe Biden’s Autopen
Who do you think senior Democrat official is?
Ed says these three people worked in the 2020 Biden campaign at the highest level. He name drops three people who were the gatekeepers of the autopen. — Ron Klain — Anita Dunn — Bob Bauer
Ed Martin sent letters to the US Attorneys office and the Biden Family, and says they are LAWYERING UP!
Lateral to the PARDON issue are the Executive Orders allegedly signed in the same way, potentially without Biden’s knowledge.
There were several EO’s focused on climate issues, now being called in to question on the same basis as the pardons, as reported by Fox News:
A pro-energy group is renewing its call for an investigation into over half a dozen Biden administration executive actions related to climate that it believes should be deemed null and void due to them being signed by an autopen without any public comment from former President Joe Biden confirming his knowledge of them.
Power the Future, a nonprofit organization that advocates for American energy jobs, reviewed eight Biden executive orders that it says were significant shifts in domestic energy policy and said it found no evidence of the president speaking about any of them publicly, raising concerns that the orders were signed by autopen and that he was not aware of them.
“These are not obscure bureaucratic memos; these were foundational shifts in American energy policy, yet not once did Joe Biden speak about them publicly,” Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power The Future, told Fox News Digital.
I’ll be watching that fight, because any developments in that case would have implications for the pardon issue.
A watchdog group, the Oversight Project, was the first to break the story that Biden’s signatures on Executive Orders and pardons were almost exclusively applied using the Autopen.
While that fact alone wouldn’t necessarily raise suspicions, a combination of reports from staffers and insiders painted a consistent picture leading to the likely corruption surrounding Biden’s Autopen, as reported by The Blaze:
The Oversight Project revealed in early March that Biden’s signature on numerous pardons, executive orders, and other documents of national consequence was likely machine-generated.
The watchdog group later confirmed that “the same exact Biden autopen signature” was used on the pardons for Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, members of the Biden clan, and former members of the House Jan. 6 select committee.
These revelations — in conjunction with reports of staffers and family members making decisions on Biden’s behalf; evidence that Biden’s signature appeared on documents while he was on vacation; Biden’s alleged admission to having no recollection of a consequential January 2024 order to pause decisions on exports of liquefied natural gas; and a former Biden aide’s claim that a key Biden staffer was suspected of unilaterally making decisions to sign documents as the former president’s mental faculties declined — kicked off the firestorm that ultimately prompted the Trump administration to take a closer look.
Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told Blaze News, “There’s no question that Ed Martin is on the case. As both the pardon attorney and President Trump’s weaponization czar, he is uniquely positioned to answer the question everyone is asking, ‘Who was the president during the Biden years?’”
Just hours before Martin shed additional light on the investigation underway, President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that those who exploited former President Joe Biden’s cognitive impairment and allegedly “took over the Autopen” were guilty of “TREASON at the Highest Level.”
The Truth Social post by President Trump referenced in that story didn’t go easy on the Biden regime.
President Trump hit hard, calling the entire lot “Treacherous Thugs” for the alleged abuse of power.
Here’s President Trump’s post in case you missed it:
And here’s the full text of that fiery post in case that’s hard to make out:
Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will. It wasn’t his idea to Open the Border, and almost destroy our Country, and cost us Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to get criminals out of our Country, and go through the process we are going through now. It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired, and that took over the Autopen. They stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger. This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country. The Joe Biden that everybody knew would never allow drug dealers, gang members, and the mentally insane to come into our Country totally unchecked and unvetted. All anyone has to do is look up his record. Something very severe should happen to these Treasonous Thugs that wanted to destroy our Country, but couldn’t, because I came along. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Even with this news, the frustration of many is going strong.
I get it. I’m ready for handcuffs, arrests, and accountability.
But as I’ve said more than once over the last few months, I suspect it’s easy to miss the forest for the trees here.
It’s particularly hard to be patient while the reality of the circumstances surrounding these investigations plays out mostly behind the curtain.
But the glimpses we’ve been getting lately when the curtain is briefly pulled back definitely seem promising.
The only question is whether those holding the reins will keep the resolve high enough to see this thing through, and TRULY return America to a place of law and order at the highest level of governance.
“…with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all.”
I’m ready to be able to say that again, with the confidence that it’s true.

When I was a little kid our governor Ray Blanton sold pardons and got nailed for it:

“””— those controlling Biden’s Autopen were purportedly making money off their usurped power! “””””
Not a chance. That would be a threat to democracy and stuff.
I have thought for awhile that someone in the administration would come forward and spill everything to avoid prison time.
I REMEMBER...................
I’ll go out on a limb here and ask WHO wrote this for the president? None of it sounds like anything he would say or write..”The Joe Biden that everyone knew......” - REALLY?
“”Joe Biden was not for Open Borders, he never talked about Open Borders, where criminals of all kinds, shapes, and sizes, can flow into our Country at will.

Senior, Senior? Wake me up from my deep slumber when they are charged. The rest is just kabuki theatre.
Treason hangings will make for a good thing for nationwide simulcast across the major networks.
I will get some fun food for that night.
Before he got old, Biden was seen as a ‘centrist’ if there is such a thing.................
And something that has only been presumed up to this point came up during his discussions with this high-ranking Democrat whistleblower who Martin says is “at the highest level” — those controlling Biden’s Autopen were purportedly making money off their usurped power!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
say it isn’t so
If Biden was 30 years younger, he would still have gotten "handled" by Obama's advisors.
“Wake me up from my deep slumber when they are charged.”
I will eat my hat if anyone is charged or if the pardons don’t stand.
Surely Queen Jill was a gatekeeper too.
Blah blah blah. Tick tock. Boom.
Release the Kraken! Lol!
Charlie Brown Lucy Football
I smell another suicide coming.
The name of Bob Bauer gives me hope that the investigation will go back to the root of this coup: the installation of a Barack Obama whose vital records all had to be altered and covered up because - as has now been confirmed 3 times by the HDOh in legal settings - he had no legally valid Hawaii birth certificate.
Bob Bauer was at the center of all that crap, and it’s looking very much like he did that so he and his other Deep State cronies could act as President and destroy this nation.
I’m hoping that the room full of records that were never entered into the system at the FBI will be VERY CLOSELY gone over and that the evidence of the 2008 coup and the ongoing subversion of the entire government since that coup will be exposed and prosecuted. Hopefully through a military tribunal because it will be found how James Clapper and John Brennan used the supercomputer “The Hammer” and the software they commissioned Dennis Montgomery to write to spy on anybody they wanted to extort from, but primarily judges and SCOTUS justices. If it can be proven that the courts are compromised by that 2008 coup, I believe the threshold would be met for Pete Hegseth to declare that the US government has been taken over by hostile forces and the military is required to oversee the restoration of the Republic.
What’s with the jab at Pam Bondi?
maybe a case of first to squeal gets the best deal
And NOTHING will be done.
