Quote:The House Oversight Committee has now issued its bombshell report of its investigation into the cover-up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline and the autopen scandal.

In addition to the report, the committee issued a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding a full investigation into all of Biden's executive actions. The report also called for the DOJ to investigate and question the staff who didn't answer questions from the committee: Jill Biden's chief of staff, Anthony Bernal, Biden's deputy chief of staff, Annie Tomasini, and White House physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor.

The report detailed how much the Biden team stage managed things for Biden from addressing his "makeup, clothing, and schedule" to even "the number of steps" that he could walk or climb and the amount of time he "needed to read and to spend with his family,” as well as “keeping cabinet meetings to a minimum, eliciting ‘direction’ from Hollywood on the State of the Union and other events, and using teleprompters even at small, intimate events.”

The report called on the D.C. Board of Medicine to investigate Dr. O'Connor's actions. O'Connor invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked if he was “ever told to lie about" Biden's health and if he ever believed that Biden was "unfit to execute his duties.”

“His refusal to answer questions about the execution of his duties as physician to the president — combined with testimony indicating that Dr. O’Connor may have succumbed to political pressure from the inner circle, influencing his medical decisions and aiding in the cover-up — legitimizes the public’s concerns that Dr. O’Connor was not forthright in carrying out his ultimate duties to the country.”

Dr. O'Connor's counsel claimed at the time that he invoked the Fifth Amendment because of doctor-patient privilege and confidentiality.

Then there was the autopen scandal, which Chair of the Committee, Republican Rep. James Comer (KY-1), deemed "one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history." The report said Biden's executive actions "cannot all be deemed his own" and that some of the executive actions signed by autopen, including some pardons, should be considered null and void since they appear to have been authorized with no "approval traceable" to Biden's "consent."

Asked directly whether he even knew who operated the autopen, former White House chief of staff Jeff Zients — who approved 11th-hour pardons for first family members on Jan. 19, 2025 — answered bluntly in an transcribed interview with the committee: “I do not.”

But guess who was involved with some pardons at the end?

Hunter Biden weighed in on some of those “family discussions” of pardons “towards the end, the very end of the administration,” Zients also admitted.

“The authority to grant pardons is not provided to the president’s inner circle. Nor can it be delegated to particular staff when a president’s competency is in question,” the report notes. “Importantly, even if this authority could be delegated — which it cannot — it would have to be expressly delegated by President Biden himself.”

Which pardons?

"This apparently included the meeting to discuss the pardons of five Biden family members, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the members of Congress who served on the Select Subcommittee to Investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, and their staff," the report said.

The report argued that if there wasn't "sufficient contemporaneous documentation" indicating that "cognitively deteriorating" Biden himself "made a given executive decision," that such decisions should be considered void. The report called on the DOJ to "immediately conduct a review of all executive actions" taken by Biden during his time occupying the Oval Office, particularly focusing on the clemency actions.

Zients recommended a "full work-up" after Biden's disastrous debate performance, and there was a discussion about a cognitive test. Anita Dunn told the Committee, “The senior advisers decided that no matter how many tests he took, it would never really quiet the people who were attacking him in an election year on these issues." She said they weren't concerned about him passing, she thought it wouldn't help "politically."

The report also observed that none of the people the committee questioned would acknowledge they had a concern about Biden's cognitive decline. Many of them could not recall a single discussion about Biden's "cognitive health with anyone inside or outside of the White House."

Yep, and unicorns are real. And that's why the DOJ now needs to shift into high gear on this to hold people accountable.
