U.S. Military Targets Cartels in Mexico plus DOJ Emails Reveal Biden’s Flawed Mass Pardons

Biden’s Last-Minute Pardons Spark DOJ Chaos plus Dems Scramble on Voter Data

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.
