David Marcus, a prominent Fox News columnist, has reignited discussions around the legality of former President Joe Biden’s pardons, suggesting that they should be deemed null and void due to the president’s perceived mental decline. In his article, Marcus questions the validity of the pardons, especially those issued by Biden via autopen, in light of recent revelations about his cognitive status. He points to the media’s delayed admission of Biden’s mental decline as a significant factor in the current scrutiny.
Marcus highlights the recent audio from Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, which was released this week, as a critical piece of evidence. The audio, he argues, underscores the president’s declining mental capacity and the potential invalidity of his executive actions, including the pardons. He further criticizes the media for its initial reluctance to acknowledge these issues, which he believes has led to a public reckoning that has now come too late.
Additionally, Marcus raises concerns about the integrity of the pardons, particularly those granted to Biden’s family members and individuals like Dr. Anthony Fauci. He questions whether Biden could have made these decisions with full cognitive ability, especially given his previous statements about not granting such pardons. Marcus suggests that the administration’s failure to address these concerns sooner has led to a situation where the legality of these pardons is now in serious doubt.
The article also touches on the broader implications of Biden’s perceived mental decline, including the lack of accountability within his administration. Marcus criticizes the failure to hold key officials accountable for their actions, despite the president’s reported inability to make sound decisions. He argues that this inaction has contributed to the current crisis and calls for a more transparent and accountable process to address the implications of Biden’s actions.
