The Justice Department shelved an investigation into former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen, a person briefed on the matter told NBC News on Wednesday.
Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin, the former “weaponization” czar, opened the probe while he was interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. It wound down recently under Jeanine Pirro, the current U.S. attorney, who is a longtime Trump ally and former Fox News host.
The autopen case was never presented to a grand jury, unlike the case that Pirro's office tried to bring forward last month against six members of Congress who participated in a social media video that urged members of the military and intelligence communities not to follow unlawful orders.
It is difficult to bring a criminal case when there is not even a readily identifiable and applicable criminal statute, the person briefed on the matter said.
The White House referred an inquiry about the matter to the Justice Department. A spokesman for Pirro’s office, citing Justice Department policy, said the office does not confirm or deny the existence of criminal probes.

Not too surprised. Biden has a wet sponge-cake for a brain, bless his heart. Now, as for “Doctor” Jill aka Lady McBeth, she is still overdue for a heaping platter of Come-Uppence!
“DOJ quietly shelves Biden autopen investigation that Trump demanded”
The autopen investigation has nothing to do with Biden. But like others, I have seen the effects of dementia.
He probably was never even aware of what had been done and certainly not who did it. They couldn’t afford to give him, with his lack of capacity to keep his mouth shut, the keys to the kingdom as it was. He would name names.
The autopen investigation was created to find out who altered our government actions and weakened our country. And that investigation should continue until people are identified and charged.

And all SlJo’s aides will just say they were following orders. It’s not their fault if Jotato can’t remember giving those orders.
as usual. there’s no J in DOJ. doesn’t seem to matter who is president.
China running our gov’t for 4 years under Beijing Biden, no PROBREM !!!
Anyone who thinks Bondi is going to prosecute any of the bad actors involved in trying to take Trump down, i.e. Russian Hoax, voter fraud in GA (or anywhere else) bogus FISA warrants, Comey’ s threats, etc, is living in a smoke filled fantasy.
Bondi is compromised.
My over/ under is she’s gone after the mid-terms.
Crooks! Others using the auto-pen without authorization has to be illegal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UniParty Deep State in action.
She is buddies with Wiles. She has protection.
At best, she is incompetent
“My over/ under is she’s gone after the mid-terms.”
If she’s not it means she’s not the only one who’s compromised.
All roads lead to Todd Blanche.
Trump trusts the sleaziest people.
Can’t get any more clearer than that, Trump is not the boss. So who does he and his administration really serve? So much for their oath of office.
Of course not. Even under Trump the deep state has the power to protect traitors.

The DOJ prosecutes crimes. What crime has been committed?
Bet she’s not
Because this is unchartered territory
Bondi can’t just void everything with the stoke of her pen
Someone has to bring a lawsuit to challenge it and work it up to SCOTUS
I used to think FReepers were smarter than this
Not sure who and how they could prosecute on this one.
On the other hand, that does not mean the DoJ could not prosecute people like Anthony Fauci for his crimes funding bio labs around the world
Definition of Boomer bull$h!+: The exercise of virtue has been replaced by dialing the right phone number and leaving the right institution to magically take care of it while I attend to making more money.
He offers that pinch of incense to the entertainment industry. Bondi is one of those “The Price Is Right” ladies he consistently appoints to key positions.
