Former President Joe Biden admitted in a recent interview that he only gave verbal approval for thousands of pardons at the end of his term. His staff then used an autopen machine to sign the documents without his direct oversight. This has raised serious questions about accountability.

Biden claims he personally made every clemency decision. But records show he only approved broad categories for pardons instead of reviewing individual cases. This rushed process meant he didn’t look closely at who got pardoned.

In his final weeks, Biden pardoned nearly 4,000 people including drug offenders and others. Most troubling was him pardoning his son Hunter Biden who was convicted for tax crimes and illegal gun possession. This looks like special treatment for family.

The autopen machine signed these pardons without Biden’s hand ever touching the paper. His staff controlled the device while Biden was nowhere near it. This machine just stamped his name while he avoided real responsibility.

President Trump and Republicans have blasted this autopen use as shameful and possibly illegal. Signing pardons this way makes them weak and dishonest. It shows Biden didn’t care enough to sign them properly himself.

Biden also pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci who misled Americans about COVID origins and lockdowns. Letting Fauci off the hook protects those who hid the truth about the pandemic. This hurts everyday families who suffered from bad policies.

This mess reveals how Biden avoided real work as president. He took shortcuts instead of doing his job right. Using a machine for important decisions shows disrespect for the presidency and the American people.

In the end, Biden’s autopen pardons prove he cared more about speed than justice. Letting criminals walk free without proper review puts communities at risk. This is what happens when leaders put convenience above responsibility.
