Donald Trump VOIDS Pardons Signed by President Autopen
By J.D. Rucker • Mar. 16, 2025
Justice appears to be back on the table for “pardoned” members of the January 6 Committee as well as other criminals let loose by Joe Biden in his final weeks in office.
President Trump declared on Truth Social that the pardons signed by “Crooked Joe Biden” are void. Here’s his post:

Quote:The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

All of this was set in motion in early March when Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi questioning Biden’s ability to sign the documents he allegedly signed. As noted on The Liberty Daily:

Quote:Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate whether former President Joe Biden’s staff exploited his mental decline to implement far-left policies, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Biden’s executive actions — including last-minute clemency grants to violent criminals and sentence commutations for death row inmates — are “legally void” if he did not give his knowing approval, Bailey wrote Tuesday in a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

After that, it was discovered that the vast majority of documents “signed” by Biden were actually signed via Autopen.
Last week, Lindell TV’s Cara Castronuova asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the Autopen scandal, but Leavitt couldn’t offer an answer. She said she’s look into it. Conspicuously, President Trump started posting and talking about Autopen the very next day.

How can one logically "pardon" someone who has no been convicted, nor even indicted, for a pardonable offense? Isn't that a little like "forgiving" someone for something they never did to begin with?

But it does have precedent - Ford pardoned Nixon in the absence of a conviction or even an indictment... but an indictment was at least on the table, unlike now, in these cases.

So it's been done before, and was done now. At least we have admissions of guilt from the guilty parties. As Shakespeare said, "methinks thou doth protest too much". Also, the Book of Proverbs has this gem: "The wicked flee when no man pursueth", which is highly applicable to this case.

Then we have the 1915 Supreme Court case of Burdick V. United States, in which the Dictum states that a "pardon carries an imputation of guilt and that its acceptance carries a confession of guilt."

So, whether the pardons stand, or whether they are vacated... regardless of whether or not the guilty parties are ever even indicted,,, we at least have their confessions of guilt in committing crimes against the United States set in stone via their pardons and their capacitance of the pardons.

May none of them ever hold office again, or enjoy any position of trust, since they have admitted guilt in committing crimes against the United States while in office and betraying the Public trust they once held.
