Autopen Investigation into Biden Pardons

  • 🔍 An investigation has been launched by the Department of Justice into the use of an autopen for President Biden's recent pardons.
  • 💡 The focus is on whether the pardons, particularly those for Biden's siblings and Fouchy, were signed by the President himself or by the autopen.
  • ✍️ It's noted that most of the significant pardons have a consistent, neat signature, suggesting autopen usage, while one appears more authentic, with the President seemingly struggling to spell his own last name.

White House Stance on Pardon Validity

  • 🏛️ The White House's opinion is that only pardons personally signed by the President would be considered valid.
  • ❓ Questions are raised about the autopen's usage during the previous administration, suggesting it might have been a common practice.

Political Context and Public Perception

  • 🗳️ Concerns are raised that scrutinizing past pardons distracts from the President's promises to fix the economy and secure the border.
  • 🗣️ However, the speaker argues that the pardon issue is significant because it was a major factor in the President's election, and the American people deserve answers about the competence of their President.
