Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett has alleged that staffers in Joe Biden’s administration engaged in a “cash for clemency” scheme, using an autopen to issue pardons in exchange for financial payoffs. An autopen is a device that mechanically reproduces signatures. On Tuesday, Rep. Burchett appeared on “The Benny Johnson Show” and stated, “You are gonna find staffers that were able to take forms, get them and run them through some sort of bogus legal system, then they auto-penned them.” Burchett said he believes there was a pay-for-pardon scheme happening, and pointed to a historical scandal involving former Tennessee Governor Ray Blanton,...

Sure, President Trump’s return has shaken its foundation, but this goes deeper than just him sitting in the Oval Office again.Much deeper.A lot of the usual suspects in DC are sweating bullets right now—not just over their dirty deeds being exposed, like the Russia Hoax, COVID shenanigans, or the Epstein client list—but because nobody saw this coming. A group of rogue Gen Z geniuses pulling back the curtain on a level of government abuse and fraud that even the most suspicious among us couldn’t have imagined. And now, the...

When Elon Musk asked how Norm Eisen could be financed, I replied, “If the United States govt gave money to Qatar, knowing Qatar was going to send that money to organizations within the USA intended to carry out an objective of a small group in U.S. govt., what would that be called?” Qatar is a major source of funding for the Brookings Institute.

If elements within the U.S. Govt., wanted to indirectly fund Brookings, could they do it by sending funds to Qatar? The question is...
