Former President Joe Biden experienced such “cognitive decline” while in office that it remains a serious question as to whether he was aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen, the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee asserted in a letter it sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to consider whether that clemency might be invalid and to take action for potential prosecution against some of Biden’s aides.

The committee “deems void President Biden’s executive actions that were signed using the Autopen, and the committee determines that action by the Department of Justice is warranted to address the legal consequences of that determination,” it wrote to Bondi released Tuesday morning.

      It should be invalid because it’s super fucked up, but unfortunately the people decided that he should have the power to pardon whomever he wants of any crime.

        It should be invalid because Trump is a traitor illegally holding office in violation of the 14th amendment because he got to build the courts his first term and too many MFers in the states lack the competency to think.
