Members of the Biden Administration need to go to prison for decades over this.


The House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Biden’s autopen abuse isn’t just political theater—it’s a constitutional reckoning. Bank records show $30M funneled through Biden family shell companies while executive actions like the LNG export pause were signed without his awareness. When Speaker Johnson confronted Biden, he denied his own policy, proving he wasn’t steering the ship.

The Oversight Project’s findings confirm pardons issued via autopen batch signatures lack legal legitimacy if Biden didn’t personally authorize them. This isn’t about partisan grudges—it’s about whether unelected aides committed forgery on presidential documents. Subpoenas for Tomasini, Bernal, and O’Connor are the first step.

Biden’s testimony isn’t optional; it’s mandatory for validating two dozen EOs and pardons that reshaped policy. The clock’s ticking, but the swamp’s still blocking transparency.
Whatever happened with Obamagate?

Remember Obamagate?

Kangaroo Court.
No, it was a real court. With lawyers, a judge and jury, and everything.

Not a unanimous verdict.
It was a unanimous verdict, all 12 jurors agreed.

Made-up crime.
Nope, a crime on the NY state books since 1986. NY 175.10

Corrupt, far-left, Deep State, judge.
And you base your accusations on what evidence, exactly? The tens of dollars he contributed to democratic candidates? The same judge who, after the jury found Trump guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all 34 felonies, sentenced him to an unconditional discharge, imposing no penalties or punishments whatsoever?

The Washington Establishment has been robbing us blind for decades. Why do you love corrupt, Washington, millionaire, elites, more than you love poor and middle-class Americans?
Where on earth did you get that from? Man, you're making baseless assumptions after baseless assumptions, is there no end to them?

But, I'm confused. You're more than willing to accept that a crime was committed by someone on President Biden's staff without even a hint of evidence, but with Trump, despite massive amounts of evidence, and a jury trial where his guilt was proven beyond a reasonable doubt...you don't believe it.

-- A2SG, gee, partisan much?

I fully believe anything that a newt says because he went after a sitting president having an affair while having his own affair. A beacon of integrity and morals.

I’m sure that when all the evidence is presented it will sort itself out.

Oh wait. America. Nothing happens to rich white men who clearly break the law.

Oh wait. I think we are talking at cross purposes.

"Biden" gave out pardons and commutations like they were after-dinner mints. How many of them did he personally sign? Is there any evidence that he even personally considered the cases individually? We all know that, aside from Hunter, Joe Biden wasn't the one approving or signing those pardons.
6,500 of those were for federal simple marijuana possession convictions. Putting the righting of that wrong to one side his total is in line with the two administrations that proceeded him.

Were members of the Biden Administration selling pardons?
No, that was Trump, and the price was $2M. Rudy's unpaid employee caught it all on tape, when he wasn't raping her. It's all listed in the court documents.

Yes, but now we're talking about Donald Trump, who has been totally faithful to all every single one of his wives and mistresses.

With a bit of research, it was widely announced that Joe Biden granted pardons to almost 7000 individuals for simple possession of marijuana. This accounts for 80% of his figure.

No controversy here.

Yes, it's being investigated, despite the fact that there is no evidence, none whatsoever, that the autopen was misused at any point, for any reason, at all. I don't know, maybe the investigation will find some evidence...but given how much they dug up on any past "questions" regarding President Biden, let's just say I'm not going to be expecting much.


I'm not expecting the full case file, but if I were a prosecutor, I would like to see evidence of a crime being committed before I start prosecution. All we have now is speculation that something might have happened. Period. Nothing more.


Hey, it worked for Trump.

-- A2SG, and at least with Trump, the crime was proven he was found guilty on all counts....something that cannot be said about President Biden or anyone in his administration....
Wasn't the guy (gal?) who stole other people's luggage in the Biden administration?

Nope. Kangaroo Court.
Well, gee...if you say so. Who needs evidence when you're absolutely certain already?

Juan Merchan is a Democrat Political Operative Masquerading as a Judge; Calling His Courtroom a Kangaroo Court Does a Disservice to Kangaroos​


  • David Safavian
  • May 31, 2024




“No one is above the law.” That is what we hear from Leftists and their accomplices in the media in justifying the Trump persecution. But no one is beneath the law either. Everyone deserves a fair playing field. Indeed, that is the primary responsibility of judges – to protect the rights of the accused from an all-powerful prosecutor. In the case of New York vs. Donald J. Trump, “Judge” Merchan (and I use the term “judge” loosely) didn’t just fail in his duty to ensure a level playing field, he was essentially an arm of Prosecutor Alvin Bragg’s team. Nearly every ruling, big or small, went against the President. There are more than sufficient grounds to reverse this travesty on appeal. It is doubtful, however, that President Trump will be vindicated by Election Day, which was the goal of the judge and prosecutor all along.



Merchan should never have been selected to be the judge in the Trump case in the first place. He contributed to Democrat candidates (and was sanctioned for violating the judicial ethics rules for doing so). His daughter, another left-wing activist, was fundraising off of the Trump persecutions. Merchan had at least an apparent conflict of interest, if not an actual one. Had Merchan had any integrity, he would have recused himself. Had the judicial system of New York been fair and competent, it would have forced him to step aside. Of course, in deep blue Manhattan, neither happened. But that is only the beginning of a trail of illegitimate decisions by this judge. In the long list of transgressions, here are a few examples of Merchan’s blatant bias:



  • He eliminated observant Jews, who are far more conservative than the average New Yorker, from the jury pool by holding keeping the court in session on Fridays. (Tellingly, he did not hold court on Wednesdays. Hmmmm… I wonder why?)



  • Merchan allowed for graphic testimony from a porn star. This case wasn’t about illicit sex. It was about how money was accounted for. Courts are supposed to prevent highly prejudicial testimony to come into evidence if it doesn’t add to the ability of a jury to find the truth behind the criminal charge.



  • The judge let prosecutors go far and wide in presenting their case, including putting a convicted perjurer on the stand who was caught in blatant lies. But when the Trump defense team wanted to put their own witnesses on to rebut the charges, Merchan either severely limited what they could say, or excluded them from the trial altogether.



Yet, most damaging were the jury instructions, which have a huge impact on the outcome of any case. This judge allowed jurors to use a cafeteria approach to finding guilt. A key element of the felony charges was that Trump had to have made accounting errors in furtherance of other unlawful activity. The prosecution was never required to identify what other conduct formed the basis of that underlying activity to obtain (or defend against) a felony conviction. Indeed, the judge said that if four jurors determined that the accounting was to commit tax evasion, and four found that was to commit federal election fraud, and another four found it was in furtherance of state election crimes, that would be ok. Unanimity wasn’t required.



Essentially, the judge used his position to make it easy for prosecutors to convict President Trump and nearly impossible for him to prove his innocence. And that came through loud and clear yesterday. The general rule of thumb is that juries deliberate about a day for every week a defendant is on trial. So, we should have expected a verdict in five or six days if they took their obligations seriously. This jury plowed through 34 charges in less than 13 hours – or less than 20 minutes of deliberation for each count. There is zero chance a serious jury could have considered all of the evidence for each charge and come to a thoughtful conclusion based solely on that evidence in 20 minutes.
Yeah...and he was so dead set on prosecuting Donald Trump that, when it came time to sentence him, he sentenced him to an unconditional discharge, no penalties or punishments whatsoever.

The bottom line is that this verdict has more holes than a block of Swiss cheese. It will ultimately be reversed. But by then, the political damage will be done.
What political damage? He won the election, he's the president now. And he can't run for a third term (well, not legally), so what further political goals does he have, and how does a guilty verdict with no penalties imposed damage them, if it didn't damage his presidential campaign?

-- A2SG, seems to me the only damage is to Trump's ego....and that's it.....
