BREAKING: Biden Caught in Pardon Cover-Up — Emails Show He Never Looked at Them Before Auto-Pen Signed Off
The Biden pardon scandal just exploded.
Newly uncovered White House emails reveal what many suspected: Joe Biden never even looked at the thousands of pardons and commutations pushed out of the White House at the last second. Instead, his aides handled the entire process, and Biden’s infamous auto-pen did the signing.
According to internal communications, a top aide flatly admitted that “[Biden] doesn’t review the warrants.” Even more damning, staffers scrambled to create templates pretending Biden had personally approved each pardon, when in reality he hadn’t. By the morning of January 17th—at exactly 4:59am Eastern—THOUSANDS of names had been rubber-stamped by machine.

That means the vast majority of Biden’s clemency orders could be illegitimate. The Constitution is clear: the pardon power belongs to the president alone. It cannot be delegated to staffers or outsourced to a robot pen. If Biden never even reviewed the names, these “pardons” may not be worth the paper they’re printed on.
Even Biden’s own team seemed rattled. One aide questioned the legality of the scheme in real time. Yet the machine kept signing, and the public was led to believe Joe Biden had personally considered each case. It was a cover-up, and it fooled no one.
This scandal raises huge questions: Who exactly received these pardons? Were violent criminals and political allies slipped through in the dead of night? And most importantly—was Biden even awake when his presidency carried out one of the largest clemency dumps in U.S. history?
Americans deserve answers. Biden’s White House can’t hide behind a broken pen forever.
