Switcheroo. Biden accuses Trump of "lying."
Posted on 10/28/2025 11:47:09 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum
A monthslong House investigation has concluded that President Biden “was losing command of himself” while in office and was not personally involved in many of the pardons, commutations and other executive actions signed by an autopen.
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked the Justice Department to “address the legal consequences” of House investigators’ conclusion, which “deems void” executive actions and clemency warrants signed by the autopen during the Biden administration that do not include documentation proving the president made the decision.
“The Committee requests that you investigate all executive actions taken during the Biden Administration to ascertain whether they were duly authorized by the President of the United States,” Chairman James Comer wrote.
The letter was addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi after the release Tuesday of a 91-page report authored by the Republican-led committee on Mr. Biden’s use of the autopen, his apparent cognitive decline while president, and the “delusion and deception” among White House aides who Republican lawmakers say covered it up.
The Oversight and Government Reform Committee interviewed more than a dozen members of the Biden White House inner circle to seek their recollection of the former president’s mental acuity while in office and their roles in the frequent use of the autopen to sign critical documents on his behalf.
“Our report reveals how key aides colluded to mislead the public and the extraordinary measures they took to sustain the appearance of presidential authority as Biden’s capacity to function independently diminished,” said Mr. Comer, Kentucky Republican.

An actual “presidential pardon” cannot be voided.
But if a White House aide sort of “borrowed” the Auto-pen while Joe was napping, then any resulting pardon is not really a “presidential pardon” because the President was not involved.
But proving this might be really tricky.
Yeah, pretty obvious that he had no clue what was going on, but we will hear ad-nauseum: “The Presidential pardon privilege is absolute.”
And any attempts to void pardons will go nowhere.
All the autopen pardon signatures are identical, which pretty much proves it.
But getting a non-partisan judge might be really tricky.
Yeah, I don’t see this going anywhere since the concept of automated signatures is legally established and all Biden has to say is “Yes, I authorized it”.
However I’d love to see some of the most egregious charged with crimes anyhow, like Hunter or Fauci. Let a court decide whether it’s valid.
Concerns were rampant about who signed off on the decrepit deteriorating Biden’s “executive actions.” House leader Comer also raised concerns about ne’er do well Hunter Biden’s role in the pardon process.
Unelected Hunter was said to have sat in on daddy’s Cabinet meetings.
Hunter Biden has attended meetings with dad President Joe Biden and his top aides, and has raised questions about Hunter’s involvement..... and easy access.... to sensitive US govt information that impacts American families.
Hunter was often at the White House. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed his attendance at official meetings.
Sources describe Hunter as “popping into” a couple of high level meetings......... and even listening in on official phone calls.
White House staff have expressed surprise at Hunter’s presence at these official meetings.
Concerns have been raised by House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner, who sent a letter requesting information
<><>about Hunter’s presence at official meetings
<><>and whether classified information was discussed in his presence.
<><>Hunter did not have security clearance.
Given money-hungry Hunter’s propensity to seek out foreign buyers, attention should be given to his activities when in possession of official WH data.
drjill made sure she and Joe got a cut.
To clarify my position -- I would say that if the President is not involved in the pardon, did not sign the pardon, was unaware of the pardon, did not approve the pardon and is totally out of the picture from start to finish, then it's not much of a "presidential pardon", is it?
If an aide just secretly decided to pardon his uncle at 3AM when no one was looking, is that really covered by the Constitution as something which can never be revoked?
And those people who accepted them proves their guilt.
I am curious to know procedure while using the auto pen. Surely they have someone sign in or swipe an ID of some sort for record keeping.
Could an aide use the autopen to give himself a million dollar bonus, or more???
All the autopen pardon signatures are identical, which pretty much proves it.
Challenges to autopen-signed documents would need to prove that the President did not authorize the signature—not merely that he didn’t sign it by hand.

Switcheroo. Biden accuses Trump of "lying."
Something like that would be good for us, I think. It would show that the autopen was uncontrolled and abused by people who were not authorized.
But I won't hold my breath.
All Biden has to do is mumble “I approved every document my signature is on” to the cameras.
THOSE WHO ARE EXPERTS AT HANDWRITING ANALYSIS CAN CLEAR THIS UP REALLY FAST.
AUTOPEN IS AN EXACT DUPLICATE-—AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN & AGAIN
ALL I EVER HEARD WAS THAT “WET SIGNATURES” ARE REQUIRED FOR PRESIDENTIAL SIGNATURES...
NEVER AUTO PEN
