Joe Biden has made a stirring defense of the use of Autopen saying he made the decision on every single one of the pardons. Though he did admit that no one should expect to find his fingerprints on any of the relevant documents used to make that decision because there were a lot of people involved, nor should they expect that he could actually remember the details on any specific person because they were really looking at categories of crimes for example mass murder through vaccines that were mandated in violation of international law would be a separate category from the "future crimes" division.
Biden admits that he gave verbal cues like nodding to approve these categories to the "whole lot of people" gathered around him screaming for a pardon and that he did not personally approve each individual pardon.
His most lucid moment came when he said he wanted to give all these people pardons because he knew what Trump would do. (Perhaps that was referring to all the people involved in the assassination attempts and the use of lawfare. How dare Trump respond to these things by using the legal system to prosecute criminals for crimes!)
According to the emails, Feldman (Staff secretary Stefanie Feldman or who historians are now referring to as acting president of the US) sought written accounts confirming Biden's oral clemency instructions in "key meetings" with staffers. The trouble is that these accounts appear to have been secondhand and in some cases written up several days after the meetings. It turns out that two advisors in the Whitehouse, Jeffrey Zients and Ed Siskel were the ones who were able to interpret Biden's nods and gibberish and so they were the ones writing the emails (I suppose we could preserve these emails on Fig leaves placed in strategic locations for future wax museum portrayals of the Biden administration).
Democrats have confirmed these meetings with aids as they came pleading for pardons of all their crimes, they also admitted that Biden was far too busy to attend these sessions. Interestingly Zients and Siskel were also not present during these meetings. No need for these two stooges to actually know what went down. Simply follow orders and give the true puppeteer a certain level of deniability.
Meanwhile in completely unrelated news Obama is telling the Democrats to toughen up.
