Here We Go. Obama Under Investigation for Corruption Scandal
[GatewayPundit] FBI Director Kash Patel has launched a "Grand Criminal Conspiracy" investigation into the decade-long weaponization of the federal government — a probe that specifically circumvents the statute of limitations, allowing Sherlocks to finally pursue justice for long-buried crimes.

According to a report by JustTheNews, Barack Obama
I am the change that you seek...
, John Brennan
...director of the CIA under the Obama administration. One of the deeper dwelling denizens of the Deep State, probably the guy who lit the match that launched the Russiagate coup attempt...
, James Clapper, James The spine of the FBI is the rule of law Comey
The disgraced, except in his own mind, former head of the FBI...
, and other high-level Obama-era operatives have been named in the investigation, which shows a coordinated criminal conspiracy to target political enemies, shield Democrat allies, and manipulate multiple presidential elections — from 2016 through 2024.

But it gets better: The probe may now shift jurisdiction to Florida — thanks to none other than Special Counsel Jack Smith’s own raid on Mar-a-Lago.
File under Petard, Own, Hoisted By. Every blessed thing the Trump team does proves the universe exists independent of my imagination.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Solomon teased that within the next 10 days, bombshell revelations would be made public — possibly exposing how weaponized federal agencies colluded to rig the political landscape against Trump and deceive the American people.

#4 Remember SCOTUS gave Trump a pass as long as the things he did when he was president. Same applies to Obama, but not his lackeys.

#6 Loyal Jill Biden aide arrives for sworn deposition in Comer's cover-up probe

Bernal was originally slated to appear last month for a voluntary transcribed interview, but he and his lawyers backtracked after the Trump administration announced it was waiving executive privilege rights for him and several other former White House staffers.

#9 @Skidmark

I am not familiar with US laws but approval by an _unelected_ official of autopen pardons isn't that usurping a prerogative given to the President ONLY and shouldn't it lead to decades behind jails?

#10 Good to see you, JFM!

Procopius2k asked the same question yesterday, so I consulted my in-house contracts specialist. ;-) The answer I posted yesterday:

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.


Added today: In the old days, when even unimportant people had personal secretaries, a secretary could sign a letter or document when so directed by her boss by adding a /initials at the end of the name to indicate she had done so. How do we prove that someone who now is senile and cannot remember giving an informed order was then either not informed or was incapable of giving the order? Just because we all know his brain was then a rotting turnip is not the same as proving it retrospectively now.
