Biden Personally Signing Hunter's Pardon–But Not Others–Is the Smoking Gun Bombshell

#7  About autopens, for Procopius 2k:

I asked Mr. Wife, who spent the last third of his career negotiating outside projects for his international Fortune 100 employer. He says that he did, and still does use, autopen/electronic signatures for contracts emailed back and forth, often Adobe PDFs and other contract programs. They are perfectly legal. I can even sign for him — not work but household stuff — because I hold his power of attorney, and I’ve signed such things in my own right for contracts for our house, most recently to remove squirrels from the attic and seal the entry holes.

BUT, wherever the signature is not actually witnessed it can be challenged if there is a question of validity. If it’s his signature, for instance, but it can be proved that that day he was in a car accident and undergoing surgery at the time that he was supposedly clicking the signature block in the form on his computer screen.

Hope that helps!

#3  Are autopens accepted in contract law? Or do humans actually have to put a signature on the papers?

#2  "He knew nothing" is indeed the only viable explanation.

They could have drafted one proclamation containing all details regarding all pardons. Only one physical signature would have been required, not dozens.

Jimmy Carter did literally pardon hundreds of thousands of people if 1977 with one stroke of the pen, so there is precedent.

These pardons were made against Biden's will or they didn't run them by Biden for fear of an explicit refusal.
