Rand Paul Re-Refers Dr. Anthony Fauci to DOJ

Rand Paul has officially referred Dr. Anthony Fauci to the DOJ for a potential criminal investigation related to the legality of a last-minute presidential pardon he received from President autopen. 

The pardon sparked backlash over whether proper procedures were followed, and raised questions as to why Biden and/or his handlers thought one was necessary. 

Paul raised concerns about the use of the autopen in this context, claiming it could constitute criminal misconduct.

“If President Biden did not personally approve or sign Dr. Fauci’s pardon, it may be invalid and legally problematic,” Paul said in the referral sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi. 

According to the NY Post:

Presidential pardons cannot be revoked once issued; however, Paul is banking on the seemingly unlikely chance that the courts may nullify Biden’s clemency because of autopen potentially being used to sign it.

But Paul’s renewed push for a criminal investigation into Fauci comes in the wake of a stunning New York Times piece, which confirmed that the 46th president did not personally sign off on every name that received clemency — while simultaneously insisting, “I made every decision.”

Furthermore, emails obtained by the outlet show that then-White House chief of staff Jeff Zients approved the autopen use and that staff secretary Stefanie Feldman, who wielded the device, did so using written accounts confirming that Biden supposedly gave verbal orders to use the autopen.

President Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on the validity of the documents Biden signed via autopen - as should everyone.

As it’s been put; he who controlled the autopen controlled the (Biden) presidency.
