The Biden Autopen Scandal just got worse.
The Oversight Project broke the story about the Biden autopen scandal wide open after they discovered thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature.
Earlier this year, the Oversight Project revealed six criminals were pardoned by Biden’s autopen on December 30, 2022, while Joe Biden was vacationing and golfing in St. Croix.
You were White House Staff Secretary when Biden autopenned pardons from the golf course in USVI.

Joe Biden defended the use of an autopen in a quick interview with the New York Times.
The New York Times also reviewed some of the emails that the National Archives handed over to the Trump DOJ as part of their investigation into the autopen scandal.
The emails revealed that Biden’s staffers made decisions to sign the pardons with the autopen without directly hearing the orders from Joe Biden.
Joe Biden told the New York Times that he “orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term” and lashed out at President Trump as a “liar” for claiming the autopen was used without his authorization.
“I made every decision,” Biden insisted during his phone interview with The Times.
According to The Times, staff secretary, Stefanie Feldman, put the clemency records through the autopen.

Follow the money. I would expect the Biden crime family was paid for at least some of these pardons.
Long day so far so guess I am not following.
If you are referring to Biden's pardons as a probably unconstitutional act, I don't see that. All Biden (or any President) would have to say or indicate is that he wanted this person pardoned or people that met whatever criteria he set pardoned.
How long before Biden is using his statement here as proof he is no longer competent?
“Your honor, I struggle to remember if I should wipe with the shower curtain or hand towel with the seashells.”
Would have been cheaper to use the tried and true Hillary Clinton method but I guess they feared losing his House seat.
He doesn't need to sign any. A pardon does not even need to be in written form.
A President could blink Morse code that he pardons someone. It's still valid.
Or just verbally communicate a pardon. Although that could make it tough for the person being pardoned to provide in the future he/she was pardoned.
Any way he does it - that's it.
Seems to me a verbal pardon would need to be attested by someone that would be authorized to enter it into the public record. Same with auto-pen IMO.
