Newly released emails released by DOJ official Ed Martin reveal Joe Biden’s own Justice Department red-flagged the thousands of last-minute autopen pardons.
Earlier this year it was revealed Ed Martin was probing Joe Biden’s pardons amid the growing autopen scandal.
The Oversight Project broke the story about the Biden autopen scandal wide open after they discovered thousands of acts of clemency and executive actions were signed with an autopen rather than a wet signature.

Biden officials such as Neera Tanden, Jeff Zeints, Stephanie Feldman and others were involved in the autopen scandal.
The New York Times recently reviewed some of the emails that the National Archives handed over to the Trump DOJ as part of their investigation into the autopen scandal.
The emails revealed that Biden’s staffers made decisions to sign the pardons with the autopen without directly hearing the orders from Joe Biden.
It was revealed that Joe Biden did not approve of each name for the pardons – AND after changes were made about the specific inmates, Biden did NOT sign off on the revised list. Rather, his aides just ran the final version through the autopen without Biden’s approval.
Now this…
Biden’s own DOJ warned that the last-minute autopen pardons of cop killers and child murderers was legally flawed.
The Washington Times reported:
A top Justice Department official warned the Biden administration that thousands of last-minute pardons signed by autopen were legally flawed and went against President Biden’s intentions by granting clemency to violent offenders who murdered children and police officers.
Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer criticized “highly problematic” language used in a single warrant, signed by the autopen, that pardoned hundreds of criminals in the final days of the Biden administration, according to a Jan. 18 email reviewed by The Washington Times.
Mr. Weinsheimer, writing to top Biden administration lawyers two days before Mr. Biden left office, said the wording of the pardoned offenses was too vague and could render the commutations “ineffective.” The lack of specificity could also result in commutations “in circumstances, including for crimes of violence, that was not intended,” he warned.
He also noted the Justice Department was blocked from playing any role in vetting the candidates for clemency and said the White House granted some pardons despite “voluminous objections” from the victims’ families.
