Biden’s Last-Minute Pardons Spark DOJ Chaos plus Dems Scramble on Voter Data
The 47 Morning Update with Ben FergusonAbout this episode
1. Clemency Controversy Involving Joe Biden Sources allege that in his final days in office, former President Joe Biden issued mass clemency orders using an autopen (an automated signature device). These clemency orders reportedly affected ~2,500 inmates , and were described by the White House as targeting nonviolent drug offenders . However, internal DOJ emails (particularly from Bradley Weinsheimer , a senior DOJ official) suggest: The language in the clemency warrants was vague and legally flawed . Some recipients were violent offenders , contradicting the White House’s public narrative. DOJ officials were confused and sought clarification from Biden, which they reportedly did not receive. 2. Examples of Alleged Violent Offenders The episode names individuals like Rushell Macintosh , Stephen Fowler , and Plays Anderson , claiming they committed violent crimes and were among those granted clemency. 3. Criticism of Biden’s Use of Autopen Biden defended the use of the autopen, saying he approved broad categories and left staff to apply them. The DOJ emails suggest uncertainty and disagreement within the administration about the legality and clarity of the orders. 4. Political Implications and Allegations The podcast connects this clemency issue to broader political themes: Allegations of DOJ politicization . Claims that Democrats are losing voter registration battles in 30 states. Accusations that Democrats are considering gerrymandering , amnesty , and counting undocumented immigrants to regain political ground. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
