The combination of these two factors leads to the question of whether a presidential pardon bearing an autopen signature is valid if Biden was unaware such pardons were being issued in his name. Is the power to issue pardons something that can be delegated by a president if it is exercised without his actual knowledge as to how that delegated power was used?

The records of the Office of the Pardon Attorney could produce relevant evidence on at least two key issues – were any of the controversial pardons issued in the waning hours of the Biden administration the subject of any review or recommendation by the Pardon Attorney? If not, that increases the likelihood that officials in the White House exercised the authority by going around the process for review and recommendations that were in place. The question as to why they would do that then becomes relevant to possible criminal intent – to hide what they were doing. //

My theory is that the crackhead sold pardons as one last govt-sponsored grift. It's been reported that he was running things in the final weeks/months; using the autopen would have facilitated the scheme. Maybe he did his own, which is how we got from "I absolutely won't pardon my son" to "hey - the crackhead is in the clear for a ten-year period.". //

You have to know FJB's handlers signed all the regular criminal and Congress pardons. He had no clue.
Hunter and the Biden Crime Family pardons were handled by the convicted felon himself, he had the biggest need and wouldn't risk leaving it to the old dolt.
