President Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden's 11th-hour pardons of members of Congress who investigated the January 6 attack are "void, vacant and of no further effect."

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the pardons issued by his predecessor are not valid because they were allegedly signed using an autopen—a device that replicates a person's signature.

Trump also warned members of the former January 6 House select committee that they would now be "subject to investigation at the highest level."

I’m curios who had control of the auto pin after the election.

It appears I typed this yesterday before my first cup of coffee.

If we continue to even have elections, and a President who actually follows the law is put into office, the pardoned J6 shitheads and all of Trump's family & friends who got pardons from him ought to be mindful of this precedent he's just set.

I believe I believe I said at the time that the pardons to J6 committee and Biden’s family were a mistake because Trump wouldn’t honor the,.

There was enormous coverage about Biden considering these pardons prior to the end of his term. This is a stupid, self-soothing claim for Trump (but sort of explains his several recent posts about the auto-pen — probably after he heard this from lawyers tasked with finding a way to vacate Biden pardons).

FWIW, Federal courts have found that presidential pardons don't even have to be written to go into effect.

Note that one of the “others” Trump was referring to among Biden’s final pardons include General Milley & Anthony Fauci.

Biden pardons Fauci, Milley and the Jan. 6 panel. It's a guard against potential 'revenge' by Trump

The heads of the Jan. 6 committee say they're grateful for the decision by President Joe Biden to pardon them “not for breaking the law but for upholding it.”

“… The prospect of such pardons had been the subject of heated debate for months at the highest levels of the White House. It’s customary for a president to grant clemency at the end of his term, but those acts of mercy are usually offered to Americans who have been convicted of crimes. …”

This line of reasoning should tell all of us they have no plans to relinquish power ever. The coup is over. We lost.
And per usual or whatever Trump is projecting because we all know he’s signing most of the 2025 agenda in EO’s and has no clue what he is signing. He’s a good baby sitter of Elons child our future king.

does the court system even matter anymore? the supreme court has basically ruled that t-rump has full immunity to do whatever he wants.

Sleepy Joe just needs to make a statement that he made those pardons in his mind and render the autopen argument moot

You care about the auto pen, but you are ok with criminals being pardoned while those who investigated those criminals are not. And now those investigators will be subject of an investigation?

You can’t expect maga to have anything short of blatant hypocrisy and disingenuousness.

Makes sense in this upside down trump world. Free the criminals not the investigators.

That just makes them even more important. Force the ahole to blatantly violate the law so that everyone sees who he is.

I imagine DOJ will pull this off the web as soon as AG Pam realizes it's there.

Are you referring to the random real estate agents strolling into the Capital then leaving 2 minutes later?

The "investigator's" ran a show trial with no MAGA/real Republicans on the committee.

Yes, given Biden's mental state the last year or so of his Presidency, I do worry about who had control of the auto pen.

When he directly starts killing the white, Christian poors...
