The Justice Department shelved an investigation into former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen, a person briefed on the matter told NBC News on Wednesday.

Justice Department pardon attorney Ed Martin, the former “weaponization” czar, opened the probe while he was interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. It wound down recently under Jeanine Pirro, the current U.S. attorney, who is a longtime Trump ally and former Fox News host. The New York Times first reported the news.

The autopen case was never presented to a grand jury, unlike the case that Pirro's office tried to bring forward last month against six members of Congress who participated in a social media video that urged members of the military and intelligence communities not to follow unlawful orders.

It is difficult to bring a criminal case when there is not even a readily identifiable and applicable criminal statute, the person briefed on the matter said.

1. January 6th an FBI false flag, Hunter Biden, Autopen...

If I were a Democrat running against a MAGA douche like Comer, Jordan, etc., I would run a commercial showing the money and hours they wasted on over non-scandals to devert from Trump.
Meanwhile, you can't afford groceries and rent.

You could also run a commercial that would say, "When you're the bootlicker of a man who paid off a pornstar and was convicted on 34 felony counts, has deep ties to Russia, was the man who.lied about his 2020 election loss which caused the January 6th insurrection, and was the best friend of a convicted child sex trafficer Jeffery Epstein, as the DOJ illegally hides documents related to your involvement, you are pathetically trying to protect a man not fit for of office. Prehaps you yourself are not fit for office!


* As for the threat of legal action of these commercials, GREAT!
A. You draw attention to the ads.

B. Can you say discovery????

3. Well, dang.

I was hoping this DOJ would suffer the humiliation of another “failure to indict” decision by a grand jury.

4. It was never about getting an indictment. It was about getting the headlines.

5. Trump uses the Autopen as well.

So there!

The piece of paper I received at my husband's internment at Ft. Smelling National Cemetery had his signature that was done by autopen.
