The Justice Department, after calls by President Trump to investigate former President Joseph R. Biden Jr., scrutinized whether Mr. Biden and his aides broke the law in using the autopen to sign presidential documents, but was ultimately unable to move forward with making a case, according to three people briefed on the matter.

I think you have ID’d the nexus....

WOW three journalistas to write this pile of crappola!

[jroehl]

I have built my own personal autopen machine. And I have pardoned myself for everything forever.

[antceecee]

LOL! I need to do this!

It's going no where...move on...The autopen is nothing new.

There is no law regarding the use of an autopen. My old boss had one in the form of a rubber stamp.

The problem with this case (IMHO), is that all they had to do was ask Biden if he approved it, he’d say yes, and that’s that.

According to three people briefed on the matter, Joes Bribe'Em let Jill hold it when Joes stuck it in Ashley in the shower.

Ashley was of "Biden Age" - a child.

This is uncharted territory

Bondi can’t just void everything with the stroke of a pen

I guess the old “autopen” - his nickname for it - came in REAL handy in the shower.
