This week we are taking a deeper dive into the most corrupt administration in American history. The Biden presidency, marked by a basement-run campaign and a vice president so unpopular she tanked her own 2020 primary bid, was a facade from the start. Joe Biden was never truly in charge, and now a bombshell scandal involving his use of an autopen to sign critical documents—including an unprecedented 8,064 pardons—exposes a shadow government that operated behind the scenes.
Each day brings fresh revelations, from foreign policy disasters to domestic cover-ups, and the American people deserve to know the full extent of this betrayal. Let's begin with the staggering scale of Biden's clemency actions. His administration issued pardons for 8,064 individuals, far surpassing Obama's roughly 2,000 clemency grants. It's absurd to believe Biden, whose cognitive decline was evident in public appearances, personally reviewed or understood the rationale for pardoning thousands—most of whom he likely never met.
Among these were preemptive pardons for high-profile figures like Anthony Fauci, Mark Milley, and members of the January 6th House Select Committee, including Adam Schiff. These blanket pardons, shielding political allies from future prosecution, scream corruption at the highest levels. They weren't the work of a president acting in the public's interest but of a shadow government protecting its own. Who authorized these pardons? The answer lies in the murky machinery of Biden's White House, where unelected aides appear to have wielded unchecked power.
A chilling example of Biden's detachment came during a February 2024 meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson. When Johnson questioned Biden's decision to pause liquified natural gas (LNG) exports—a move that hurt American energy independence—Biden insisted he had only authorized a study, not a policy change. Johnson, stunned by the president's confusion, later confided to colleagues that the encounter revealed just how dire Biden's mental state had become. If Biden couldn't recall signing a major energy policy, how could he have overseen thousands of pardons or navigated the complex web of foreign policy decisions that defined his administration? This incident underscores a presidency not led by its elected leader but by a cabal of insiders pulling the strings.
Biden's foreign policy record only deepens the suspicion of a shadow government. From sending 100s of billions in unchecked funds to Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky to maintaining a soft stance on China's Xi Jinping, the administration's actions often seemed to benefit foreign interests over America's. Allegations of money laundering through Hunter Biden and other family members have swirled for years, with whistleblower documents and bank records pointing to shady deals involving Ukraine and China. The preemptive pardons for Hunter and James Biden, issued in December 2024, only fuel the perception of a family desperate to shield itself from accountability. These weren't the decisions of a transparent administration but of a deep-state operation protecting its own from scrutiny.
At the heart of this scandal is the autopen—a mechanical device used to replicate signatures, employed by presidents since Thomas Jefferson for routine tasks like signing letters. Historically, its use for significant actions like pardons or legislation is rare and legally contentious. A 2005 Justice Department memo clarified that a president may delegate autopen use for signing bills, but the decision to sign must originate with the president. The Oversight Project, part of the Heritage Foundation, alleges that Biden's autopen was used on nearly every official document, including pardons, raising serious questions about whether he was even aware of what he was "signing." Legal experts note that while there's no constitutional requirement for a president to sign pardons by hand, the lack of transparency about who authorized these signatures opens the door to legal challenges.
President Trump and others argue that if Biden didn't personally approve these actions, they should be deemed invalid, potentially sparking lawsuits or even constitutional crises. The whistleblower who exposed this practice has lit a fuse, and the fallout could reshape how we view executive authority.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is spearheading the response, announcing a new select committee to investigate what he calls a scandal "far greater than Watergate." Comer has subpoenaed former Biden aides Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernal, and Ashley Williams, suspected of orchestrating a cover-up of Biden's mental decline and autopen misuse. Posts on X reflect public outrage, with calls for depositions to uncover who truly ran the White House. This committee aims to expose whether unelected staffers effectively hijacked the presidency, undermining the will of the American people. The probe will also examine the legality of the autopen's use, potentially setting precedents for future administrations.
The implications of this scandal are profound. A presidency run by shadowy operatives, issuing blanket pardons to protect allies and hiding behind a disengaged figurehead, is a betrayal of democratic principles. What's worse is that this is exactly what we feared all along. This is why elections have consequences and the failure to secure our elections leads to deep state takeovers. As Comer's committee digs deeper, we're witnessing the unraveling of a deep-state takeover that threatens the republic. This is treason at the highest levels—a developing story that demands accountability.
