Don’t Let The Media Bury The Biggest Conspiracy And Scandal Of Our Time

There’s an amazing story out of The New York Times, where the headline absolutely does not match the content of the story (as per usual arrangement).

The headline stated, “Biden Says He Made the Clemency Decisions That Were Recorded With Autopen.”

Cool. So everything was fine; Biden said that he was going to give clemency or pardons to people. And then he simply said to his people, “Use the auto pen to sign it. I’m busy today.”

But that is not what the story actually says. It says something quite different.

According to The New York Times:

The full picture of what Mr. Biden did on pardon and clemency decisions, and how much he directed those decisions and the actions of his staff, including the use of the autopen, may come down to tens of thousands of Biden White House emails that the National Archives has turned over as part of the investigation by the Trump White House and the Justice Department. Those emails contain keywords like “clemency,” “pardon” and “commutation” from November 2024 through Jan. 20, 2025, according to people familiar with the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.

The Times has reviewed several dozen of those emails, which discussed each of the major grants of clemency that were recorded by an autopen near the end of Mr. Biden’s term. But The Times has not seen the full extent of the emails, so it is impossible to capture the totality of information they contain or what else they might show about Mr. Biden’s involvement in the pardon and clemency decisions.

But those that were reviewed by The Times show that the Biden White House had a process to establish that Mr. Biden had orally made decisions in meetings before the staff secretary, Stefanie Feldman, who managed use of the autopen, would have clemency records put through the signing device. 

The real story was buried in Paragraph 16 and what followed:

At the end of his term, Mr. Biden reduced the sentences of nearly 4,000 federal convicts and pre-emptively pardoned politically prominent people he considered potential targets of Mr. Trump for criminal investigations.

Mr. Biden said in Thursday’s interview that he had his staff use an autopen for the warrants because he had granted clemency to so many people; the autopen was used, in all, on 25 pardon and clemency warrants from last December to January. Some of the individual warrants included large batches of names because they all fell into the same broad policy category, like reducing the sentences of nonviolent drug offenders who met standards Mr. Biden established.

On Oct. 30, 2024, the emails reviewed by The Times show, Mr. Biden’s White House counsel, Ed Siskel, notified senior staff to expect a flood of lobbying for clemency grants at the administration’s end and laid out a process for an orderly review.

The final step, he wrote: “The president makes the final decision on the final pardon and/or commutation slate.”

Over the next three months, Mr. Biden made four major sets of clemency actions that were recorded with an autopen. … Mr. Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed.

Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence. Even after Mr. Biden made that decision, one former aide said, the Bureau of Prisons kept providing additional information about specific inmates, resulting in small changes to the list. Rather than ask Mr. Biden to keep signing revised versions, his staff waited and then ran the final version through the autopen, which they saw as a routine procedure, the aide said.

What’s amazing is that his aide admitted the quiet part out loud; Biden said, “Here’s a broad category of people such as nonviolent drug offenders. Go do something about it.” His people scurried around and came up with a list, which kept changing. Instead of informing the President of the United States who was on the list and what their specific crimes were, they just ran it through the auto pen based on a giant category.

That’s crazy. When you give commutations of sentences, they are for individuals. If you want to pardon everybody in a broad clemency category, as, for example, Jimmy Carter did with draft dodgers, then you have to do that as a broad category. Everybody who dodged the Vietnam War draft was pardoned, or their sentences would be commuted.

But that’s not what Biden did. He didn’t pardon every single nonviolent drug offender; he pardoned specific drug offenders.

For several years, we did not have a President of the United States; someone else was governing the country, either Dr. Jill Biden, the greatest doctor in all the land, or Hunter Biden, the coke fiend who committed a felony gun crime, or Biden’s advisers like Jake Sullivan.

The fact that this has somehow slipped down the list to somewhere around number ten on the list of scandals that Americans care about is crazy. This should be not only the number one scandal in the country right now, it should be one of the top scandals of all time.

This is far worse than Watergate, which revolved around whether the president had authorized a break-in at the Democratic National Headquarters, an action that came in the aftermath of similar activity LBJ committed in his election against Barry Goldwater.

In this case, you’re talking about whether the President of the United States’ health condition was covered up by everyone around him, everyone in his cabinet, everybody in the media, who all knew about it.

And we should not allow it to be buried by the media henchmen for the Democratic Party.
