Perhaps our DoJ should indict Fauci as a test case for the use of the autopen. That will undoubtedly trigger howls from the left and activism from the bench. Eventually, the Supreme Court will need to decide if someone who created a humanitarian crisis is above the law, simply because a clerk deep in the bowels of the White House pushed the right button on a machine with a pen.

How Bulletproof Are Autopen Pardons?

The magical thinking of right wingers. Just use the word “autopen” and you have unlimited power that is not shared with any previous administration.

Republicanism is psychosis.

Did someone besides Biden have authority to use the autopen?

Please answer that.

I know you won't believe this, but you're being unintentionally and hilariously ironic.

And what percentage of the total pardons was it used?

Previous Presidents have certainly utilized autopens to sign basic correspondence. Many had secretaries sign letters for them.
No big deal.
But you’re so ideologically locked in you think it’s perfectly fine to have “someone” use an autopen to sign Presidential pardons.
For a zoned out President who has no idea where he is or has any concept of what’s going on around him.
“Psychosis” doesn’t fit you, stupidity does

Fauci has to go down, and probably a State like Florida could do it, even though I want it on a National stage… What he did, and tried to cover up, was not only setting up a Political coup, but he literally killed millions to set that stage. Releasing it in China, so it really couldn’t be investigated, then China locking China down, but allowing those citizens to travel everywhere… you can’t think it went down any other way, this was treason, murder, and conspiracy all wrapped into one…

frick that.

Surely some deep red state AG can bring him up on criminal charges by arguing the SOL was suspended due to the active fraud.

What is the state nexus?

The crimes he could have been convicted of all appear to have occurred in DC or are based on federal laws and would preempt any parallel attempt at state prosecutions.

So if I mail a ricin filled envelope from DC that kills someone in Louisiana, I cannot be charged for murder in Louisiana?

Stick to family law.

Joe Biden's Jan. 19, 2025 "pardons" have been analyzed. ALL of them are identical and done by an Autopen

- Anthony Fauci
- General Milley
- J6 Committee
- Gerald Lundergan
- Biden Family Members

Meaning: Let’s see how this plays out…

There is no formal requirement for a Presidential pardon. It doesnt have to be signed at all. It doesnt even have to be in writing, although an oral pardon could be difficult to prove in court if one needed to.

The issue of the autopen, of course, is determining whether Biden was involved in the decision to issue the pardon...and if you ask Biden while he is still alive he will likely claim he approved it.

Even if Biden dies without commenting on a specific pardon, the presumption will be that he approved it. There would have to be solid evidence to the contrary to challenge a pardon.

OTOH, the preemptive pardon - pardoning someone for any potential crimes before they are even charged - is something I dont think has ever been litigated in the US.

It has become common for Presidents to issue such pardons, at least as far back as Ford's pardon of Nixon. But so far those pardons have just been respected even though they might not be valid.

Presidents basically have the same pardon authority that Kings had in the 18th century. So, a little historical research is necessary.

Rand Paul will be having a committee to see if a criminal referral is warranted.

At least he is on it, full credit to Rand... but then another committee will form..

AKA the GOP establishment ploy to run out the clock on SOLs...

Can you even imagine when it is proved Biden did not win the 2020 election the clusterfrig that occurs regarding the autopen pardons? Maybe that alone is why they will not prove it, but instead, make sure it does not happen again.

Already confirmed by insiders that Biden personally issued none of his pardons… with the exception of one: Hunter Biden’s.

You’re brain dead dementia ridden President and his term, along with a million other things that happened during it, should be an historic political scandal with non stop news coverage and exposure, hard hitting questions to administration officials etc… but it has been almost completely ignored other than to attempt to cover it up or downplay it… or attempts by “journalists” after the fact to save face and act like they didn’t know about it and were lied to. Which is bullshite. They all knew and lied for four years.

frick you in your gay face, commie.
