COMER, who's had staffers sign documents on his behalf, is INVESTIGATING Biden for...you can guess, right?

[Miles Archer]

Attorney General Pam Bondi is apparently hopping aboard a conspiracy theory-driven effort to undo parts of Joe Biden’s presidency because he, like many presidents, used a machine to automate his signature on documents.

“My team has already initiated a review of the Biden administration’s reported use of autopen for pardons,” Bondi said in a social media post Tuesday, tagging Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) as she did so.

Comer chairs the House Oversight Committee, which published a report Tuesday claiming that Biden’s use of autopen suggests he was mentally unfit for office and that, therefore, his executive actions can be voided.

Comer himself has been caught having staffers digitally sign legal documents on his behalf — in some cases on letters and subpoenas sent in furtherance of his investigation into Biden for the same behavior.

3. you know he did not

I'd already heard he used the autopen for many of them.

Can they be so stupidly bold to charge Biden with something they themselves have been doing even more recently?

What world is this, again?

4. We have no money to keep the government open, but we have money to investigate internet conspiracy theory bullshit. WTF.

5. Does Blondie think Trump signed those 1,500 J6 pardons? Ha! Snowball's chance in hell.

The president said that he pardoned Changpeng Zhao despite not knowing who he is. If he’s lying, that’s a problem. If he wasn’t, it’s worse.

Trump: President Autopen was so far gone, he didn’t even know who he was pardoning.

Also Trump: I can’t explain my corrupt pardon for Changpeng Zhao because I have no idea who he is. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

A week later, the president sat down with CBS News’ Norah O’Donnell for a “60 Minutes” interview, and the correspondent offered Trump another opportunity to explain what appeared to be a brazenly corrupt pardon. After having had a week to think about it, he still didn’t have much of an answer.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

.....The president replied, “OK, are you ready? I don’t know who he is.”

....“Well, here’s the thing, I know nothing about it because I’m too busy,” the Republican replied, adding, “I know nothing about the guy.”....

Complicating matters further, the White House and much of the Republican Party is heavily invested in the idea that Joe Biden was so impaired during his presidency that he signed pardons — or, more to the point, used an autopen to sign pardons — without knowing anything about the beneficiary of the clemency.

Indeed, during the same “60 Minutes” interview, Trump argued, “Biden didn’t have a clue. He illegally used, as you know, a machine, the autopen, in order to give pardons to people.”

The smear is ugly and baseless, but it’s also become a political dilemma of sorts for the president slandering his predecessor. On the one hand, Trump wants the public to believe Biden didn’t know who he was pardoning. On the other, Trump also wants the public to believe that he pardoned Zhao, despite having no idea who he is.

The Republican and his team have had plenty of time to work out a coherent set of talking points on this. That they’ve failed speaks volumes.

7. Perhaps Comer should stick the autopen up his ass.
