Ed Martin, a pardon attorney and head of the Department of Justice’s weaponization task force, is launching an official investigation into former President Joe Biden's pardons issued in the waning days of his failed presidency.
This, according to an email sent to staff on Monday.
Martin will delve into the question of whether or not Biden "was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means," according to the message obtained by Reuters.
The focus of the bombshell investigation will be on the sweeping pardons granted to members of the Biden family. It will also encompass the 37 individuals who had death row sentences converted to life in prison.

“whether or not Biden was competent”
Obviously the answer was no.
Bombshell. Boom. Yawwwwwwwwn. We need a letter.
Like all the rest, this will go nowhere.
Deep state will protect the corrupt regime.
I am of the same thought as President Trump in that Bidet is no longer with us.
That would explain the autopen - it is better for them to say he was incompetent than to say he wasn’t even here on Earth.
Another sensationalistic abuse of the term “bombshell”, further insulting our intelligence and straining our patience... which is wearing extremely thin.
“Like all the rest, this will go nowhere.”

Much of it is just a show for the base IMO. The GOP never brings the hammer down.
He wasn’t competent enough to find his way out of a closet. 🤔
Of course he was not competent. He was not competent when he was fraudulently put in place. Obama said he wanted to run the show from the background and have somebody just out there as a pretend president and he got what he wanted. That’s why the country is in the bad shape that it is.
just keep praying that Trump can help us and save us from these evil people.
Im firmly convinced CWII will happen before 2028 election.
Everything is OK just so long as the Easter Bunny was leading him like he did off a stage. The Easter Bunny is forgiving and pardons everyone unlike that list keeping Santa who makes a list and holds a grudge.
Is there a statute making it illegal to Pardon anyone without the President’s Authority?
Or will someone provide a Pardon List signed off by President signed with the AutoPen?
The question is, “what’s the crime?” Forgery? Some sort of conspiracy? Lying to the country and running a shadow Presidency, how do you charge that? Or do you just use it as a political cudgel? Believe me, the Marc Elias /Brennan crowd are already working on defenses and talking points for MSM. It’s political retribution, war on democracy etc
Don’t get me wrong I’d like to see a Nuremberg like trial for the whole gang
Yes obviously and not a single pardon will be invalidated bank it.
Well, its a pretty clear case of forgery in my view but a range of federal statutes could apply.
The question is, “what’s the crime?”

See the link in my #16 for some possible related statutes.
Guessing the only “signature” he was capable of producing was to be found in his Depends.
Impersonating a Federal official is a Felony
