President Biden’s staff took control of his pardons in his final days, using an autopen to sign off on thousands of clemency actions. This rushed process allowed aides to shield political allies while raising serious questions about Biden’s awareness and involvement. The scandal exposes a disturbing abuse of presidential power.
Biden’s chief of staff Jeff Zients personally approved the autopen for high-profile pardons on January 19th. Emails show Zients gave the green light after 10 p.m. on Biden’s last night in office. This wasn’t the president acting but his staff bulldozing through decisions.
Lower-level aides drafted meeting summaries about pardon decisions they never attended. These papers got passed to Zients and White House lawyers who rubber-stamped them. Staff created a system where Biden’s supposed choices could be fabricated by people not even in the room.
The most shameful pardons protected Biden’s inner circle. Dr. Anthony Fauci and General Mark Milley got preemptive shields against accountability. Biden even pardoned five family members and January 6 committee politicians. This was pure political favoritism.
Over 4,200 clemency actions poured out in Biden’s final months. A shocking 96% happened after October 2024. The bulk were last-minute pardons for 2,500 drug offenders. Biden emptied prisons while ignoring crime victims’ suffering.
Biden claims he made “every decision,” but the evidence says otherwise. His staff built this autopen system months ahead to handle the flood of pardons. When you need a machine to sign your name thousands of times, you’ve lost control.
The House is investigating Biden’s mental decline during this period. Patriots wonder how involved he truly was when staff ran the show. It’s clear Biden lacked the capacity to oversee this pardon spree personally.
This autopen scandal represents the worst of D.C. corruption. Unelected staffers hijacked presidential power to protect liberals and empty prisons. Hardworking Americans see this as a betrayal. Justice was sold while Biden’s team covered their tracks.
