Seriously, has anyone listened to the whole Hur audio? The establishment takeout that this is just about Joe Biden having pudding for brains is lazy and misses the deeper point, which is that the prosecutors had him cold on possessing classified documents he had no right to keep. Biden lies and dissembles and filibusters and goes vague and mumbly at all the crucial points, with the help of lawyer Bob Bauer, who interrupts every time Joe might incriminate himself and laughs like a hyena when Joe gets feisty or cracks a sarcastic joke at the prosecutors’ expense. It is vintage...

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed in a bombshell interview with Jason Chaffetz that his committee has identified the shadowy White House staffers responsible for wielding President Joe Biden’s infamous autopen during a period when Biden was “clearly in mental decline.” The autopen scandal first erupted in March when President Trump, in a fiery late-night Truth Social post, declared Joe Biden’s autopen pardons “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.” Trump revealed that Biden, whom he branded “the Worst President in the History of our Country,” did not personally sign the pardons, nor was he even aware...

Outgoing acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin said Tuesday the Department of Justice is reviewing several of former President Joe Biden’s final-hour pardons, vowing that his new office will scrutinize whether clemency was used “correctly” or politically. Martin, whose nomination to the Washington, D.C., prosecutor post collapsed last week after key Senate Republicans pulled support, confirmed that President Donald Trump has reassigned him to two new high-profile roles: Director of the Office of the Pardon Attorney and head of the DOJ’s recently established Weaponization Working Group. “I do think that the Biden pardons need some scrutiny,”...

Former President Joe Biden’s use of an “autopen” to sign last-minute pardons looks like a much “bigger scandal” after the full audio of his scattered interview with special counsel Robert Hur was released Saturday, President Trump said. “Whoever had control of the ‘AUTOPEN‘ is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment,” Trump posted on his Truth Social before launching into a tirade against the “thugs” on the House Select January who all were granted preemptive pardons from prosecution by Biden. Members including former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) were granted the blanket...

[mugshot] Palermo, 3 April (AKI) - The deportation of former Mafia boss Rosario Gambino from the United States to Italy has been delayed, sources told Adnkronos. The 65-year-old Gambino,(photo) cousin of Carlo Gambino, boss of the Gambino crime family, has been sought by Italian authorities since 2001, when a request for extradition was originally denied by US judges. Eleven attempts for his extradition were rejected by US authorities on the grounds that a law known as '41-bis' could be result in Gambino being tortured in Italy. The '41-bis' article of the Italian penitentiary act gives power to the minister...

Ed Martin, the incoming Department of Justice pardon attorney and director of the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group, announced Tuesday that he will review the rash of questionable "autopen" pardons issued in the final days of the Biden White House, noting that they "need some scrutiny." "They need scrutiny because we want pardons to matter, and to be accepted, and to be something that's used correctly. So I do think we're going to take a hard look at how they went and what they did," Martin told reporters. The Justice Department's probe could spell trouble for controversial Biden pardonees such as...

As we all know, the judicial branch of the US government has been running amok for years, and are now flat out trying to destroy MAGA. Many freepers will rant off with knee-jerk comments like "impeach the judges" and "time for DJT to tell Boasberg to shove it" etc etc etc....... But I haven't really heard so many legitimate courses of action that DJT and co can do to reign in the judiciary. I obviously don't follow every word that comes from the WH so perhaps I've missed some stuff but I really hope they have some plan to deal...

'They can’t wait two years for a hearing. They need ... relief right away.' Illegal aliens with criminal convictions in Washington state may soon get an "expedited review" of their application for a pardon or commutation from the governor, thanks to a bill passed exclusively by Democrats. In the last few weeks, both the Washington state House and Senate have passed H.B. 1131, making it ready to send along to the desk of Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson. While the bill addresses a number of issues related to pardons and clemency, it specifically sends those at risk of deportation to the...

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) terminated a top pardon attorney who claims it was over a gun rights dispute, but she oversaw President Joe Biden’s commutations of violent criminals and pushed for left-wing criminal justice initiatives. Elizabeth G. Oyer claims she was fired after she opposed restoring the gun rights of prominent Trump supporter and actor Mel Gibson, she originally told The New York Times. Oyer proceeded to blast the Trump administration in a Rolling Stone opinion piece, asserting she was fired for her decision and accused Trump’s DOJ of “bullying.” Gibson was convicted of a misdemeanor charge...

It seems like this turned into vapornews.

Former President Joe Biden was suffering from a cognitive decline before he was elected to the White House in 2020. During his term in office, it was evident to every American that Biden was incapable of serving as President. Often, he was forgetful of names, even people serving in his cabinet, and unable to express his thoughts in a coherent way. Biden’s White House staff covered up his mental incompetence by scheduling very few public events and never allowing him to have unscripted press conferences.

On March 7, 2025, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — on his second day in office – sent a written notice of termination to Liz Oyer, Pardon Attorney in the Department of Justice. The Pardon Attorney is a “career” position in that it is not an office that requires a presidential appointment that is confirmed by the Senate. The Pardon Attorney is appointed by the Attorney General, but the position is in the “Senior Executive Service.” These are the top management positions just below the presidential appointees in all federal agencies. Oyer posted the written notice she was given on...

The Biden Autopen scandal is growing by the day. The Oversight Project released new analysis of Biden’s pardons for family members, Dr. Tony Fauci, General Milley, J6 Committee members and Gerald Lundergan. On January 19, 2025, just one day before Trump was set to be sworn in as the 47th US President, Joe Biden issued a flurry of pardons to his family members, Fauci and others. The Oversight Project determined that all of the pardons issued on January 19 had the same exact Biden autopen signature. WATCH:

Who was behind this Biden autopen? Last week Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey asked the Justice Department to investigate whether White House staffers exploited Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and issued far-left orders at the end of his presidency without his knowledge. “I am demanding the DOJ investigate whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Bailey wrote. “If in fact Biden’s staffers were exploiting his mental decline, those orders are null and void,” he added. Andrew Bailey cited Joe Biden’s decision to commute the federal death sentences of nearly 40 prisoners...

President Donald Trump on Thursday appointed Alice Marie Johnson, a woman he pardoned during his first term, as "pardon czar." The announcement came during a Black History Month event at the White House. The "pardon czar" will be responsible for making recommendations about who should be granted clemency. Johnson was convicted of nonviolent drug trafficking in Memphis, Tennessee, and after serving 21 years, her life sentence was commuted by Trump. Reality television star Kim Kardashian West met with Trump at the White House a week prior to her release to discuss the great-grandmother's case. While Johnson claims she never "touched,...

It has been 1,243 days today that retired Green Beret Master Sergeant Jeremy Brown has been incarcerated in the federal prison system after he was handed guilty verdicts in a case that arose from a search warrant after his involvement in the Jan 6 protest. It has been 35 days since President Trump issued a blanket pardon for all offenses related to January 6th. MSG Brown was asked to provide personal security for a permitted speaker’s mother on January 6th. The Oath Keeper and retired Special Forces veteran traveled to Washington, D.C., to do just that. But after the Metropolitan...

One of President Trump’s first historic moves after assuming office in January mmuted January 6 hostages were talking all month on social media about meeting up at CPAC 2025. Following President Trump’s courageous move, hundreds of pardoned and commuted January 6 hostages were talking all month on social media about meeting up at CPAC 2025. The men and women were excited about coming together, reuniting, and meeting each other, as well as the amazing American patriots who fought for their freedom. And, of course, the January 6ers also wanted to see the man who gave them their FREEDOM, President Donald...

Less than a month after receiving pardons for participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, some former defendants find themselves in a familiar place: back in court, facing other criminal charges. There is Edward Kelley, who was pardoned for assaulting police at the U.S. Capitol, but who is now fighting another case. In November, a jury convicted him of conspiring to murder the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents. Other defendants are similarly arguing they should be absolved of other alleged crimes, such as illegal gun possession and child pornography, discovered during Jan. 6 investigations. At least one...

Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) claimed Tuesday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump’s pardons have excused political violence, and that has created a “really dangerous precedent.” Co-host Sara Haines said, “Governor in your memoir, True Gretch you write about being the target of a far-right militia kidnapping plot. We talked about that a lot during the height of the pandemic.” She asked, “Did Trump’s pardoning of roughly 1,500 January 6th rioters bring back your own experience with political violence and what message do you think that sends?” Whitmer said, “I think it does send a bad message, right, that...
