Quote:New internal emails reveal Joe Biden did not review thousands of pardons granted in the final days of his presidency.

“[Biden] doesn’t review the warrants,” one of the White House lawyers said.

The New York Post reported:

President Biden’s sweeping clemency grants during his final days in office caused concern inside the West Wing and Justice Department about how to ensure his wishes were accurately implemented — and it’s unclear whether Biden himself was consulted before thousands of pardons were announced, internal emails obtained exclusively by The Post show.

The messages indicate the 46th president orally approved commutations for inmates jailed for crack cocaine offenses on Jan. 11 — but his auto-penned signature wasn’t affixed to three documents listing about 2,500 recipients until the morning of Jan. 17.

The debate over who exactly to include in the mass pardons and how to modify their sentences came to a head late on the night of Jan. 16.

Then-White House Staff Secretary Stef Feldman, a key gatekeeper of the presidential autopen, wrote to West Wing lawyers she needed evidence Biden had consented before she authorized a mechanical signature on one of the most sweeping acts of clemency in American history.

Quote:Just the News also covered a February 2024 memo that revealed he was relying on Kamala Harris.

“Note: Given the President’s schedule, it can often take days or weeks for the President to review and approve the clemency package,” the lawyers’ memo reads. “The Chief of Staff’s office has been helpful in getting the paper in front of him for his review.”

“He previously asked the White House Counsel to discuss the candidates with him, although in the last round the Vice President’s approval was sufficient to obtain his approval,” the lawyers noted.

The Trump White House concluded that this memo shows the former president was effectively “outsourcing” clemency decisions to Harris during that final year.

Did he review the material or not? If he's not reviewing the material and he "approves" it because she approves it, then that sounds problematic when he's the one who's supposed to be making the determination.

I’ll take it you are a fan of pardoning 600+ assaults on police? Or you don’t wish that be brought up? Or maybe you just noted your apple pie is done and needs to come out of the oven….. Can’t tell by your communication by meme, sir.

Doesn’t matter, you can’t tell when he uses words either.
