Dem BUSTED Who Faked Biden’s Signature For Him In Nasty Way

Newly obtained internal Justice Department emails are pulling back the curtain on former President Joe Biden’s massive, last-minute clemency blitz — revealing confusion inside the DOJ and an admission that many of the cases were never vetted through the department’s traditional pardon office.

The records show Justice Department officials scrambling to determine exactly what some of Biden’s commutations covered, while also dealing with an erroneous notice involving the pardon of the president’s own son, Hunter Biden.

The emails were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust and provided to Fox News Digital.

And one admission buried in the correspondence could raise serious new questions about how Biden’s extraordinary wave of clemency decisions was handled.

“Many of the cases that were granted commutation on January 17 were not vetted through our office,” Deputy Pardon Attorney Kira Gillespie wrote.

That office — the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney — traditionally plays a central advisory and review role in presidential clemency cases.

Yet Biden was issuing clemency on a massive scale as his presidency came to an end.

Biden Commutes Nearly 2,500 Sentences At Once

On Jan. 17, 2025, Biden announced that he was commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses.

Federal records ultimately showed the action covered 2,490 people.

Biden said the sweeping move was aimed primarily at prisoners serving sentences significantly longer than they might receive under modern federal sentencing laws, including people affected by the old sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine offenses.

But behind the scenes, DOJ officials apparently didn’t have all the answers.

Internal correspondence shows department personnel were soon trying to determine precisely which sentences Biden had actually commuted.

One case involved Christopher Damon Spencer.

Spencer’s name appeared on Biden’s clemency list in connection with a 2003 criminal case.

But he also had a separate 2011 case carrying a 235-month federal prison sentence.

Prosecutors wanted to know whether Biden’s clemency action applied to that sentence too.

Deputy Pardon Attorney Gillespie responded that applying the commutation to both cases appeared to be the “most sensible reading” of Biden’s action.

Then came the stunning admission.

“Many of the cases that were granted commutation on January 17 were not vetted through our office,” Gillespie wrote.

According to the records, she also indicated that the information available had not undergone the level of review her office would ordinarily seek.

‘Grand Canyon Gap’

Critics seized on the emails as evidence that Biden’s final clemency operation looked considerably different behind closed doors than it did publicly.

“The process didn’t match the public sales pitch,” former Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares told Fox News Digital.

“There is a Grand Canyon gap between the public description and the internal reality,” Miyares said.

Protect the Public’s Trust communications director Alexa Moutevelis was even more pointed.

“This paints a troubling picture of a pardon process driven by politics and haste rather than the careful deliberation such extraordinary acts of executive clemency demand,” Moutevelis said.

And according to Moutevelis, the confusion wasn’t limited to obscure cases buried among thousands of names.

It reached all the way to Hunter Biden.

“The Justice Department pardon office’s own emails show the final Biden auto-pen blitz was so clumsy and rushed that the chaos extended even to the most high-profile and controversial of all: his own son, Hunter,” Moutevelis told Fox.

The records cited in the report include officials correcting an erroneous notice connected to Hunter Biden’s pardon.

Autopen Controversy Adds Another Layer

The newly released emails arrive amid a separate controversy surrounding the Biden White House’s use of an autopen.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly challenged the legitimacy of some of Biden’s final pardons, arguing that an autopen was used and questioning whether Biden personally authorized the actions.

Among Biden’s final acts were pardons for members of the January 6 select committee, including former Rep. Liz Cheney.

Trump has alleged those pardons may have been signed using an autopen without Biden’s knowledge.

Those claims remain disputed, and the records described here do not establish that Biden was unaware of the pardons.

But another Trump administration official has made an even more explosive allegation.

Trump AI advisor David Sacks previously claimed that Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren was behind the Biden administration’s use of the autopen.

“Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration,” said the Trump advisor, adding that the Massachusetts senator has a “pathological hatred of the crypto community” and wanted to “drive this community offshore.”

Sacks did not provide evidence in the cited interview establishing that Warren actually controlled Biden’s autopen.

Emails Raise New Questions About Biden’s Final Days

Presidents possess extraordinarily broad constitutional authority to grant federal pardons and commutations.

The controversy here is instead about how Biden’s unprecedented wave of clemency decisions was processed and reviewed inside the administration.

And on that question, the internal emails provide a striking glimpse behind the curtain.

DOJ personnel were seeking clarification about individual sentences.

An erroneous notice involving Hunter Biden had to be corrected.

And a senior official inside the Pardon Attorney’s office acknowledged that many of the Jan. 17 commutations had never been vetted through her office at all.

That doesn’t establish that the clemency grants themselves were invalid.
