Rep. James Comer, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, has joined John Solomon, founder of ‘Just the News,’ in questioning the legality of several pardons issued by President Joe Biden. The focus of their discussion centers on the use of the autopen, a device that allows the president to sign documents remotely. They argue that the method of issuance could render the pardons unlawful, as they may lack the formalities required by the Constitution.
Meanwhile, the FBI has opened a grand conspiracy investigation into the conservative commentator and radio host, Tucker Carlson, under the pseudonym ‘Hannity.’ The investigation reportedly stems from allegations of potential legal violations related to the distribution of content that could be seen as inciting violence or undermining democratic processes. While the details of the investigation remain under wraps, both Comer and Solomon are urging the public to remain vigilant about the legal implications of executive actions and media influence.
The discussion has sparked renewed debate over the boundaries of executive power and the role of the press in holding leaders accountable. Legal experts are now weighing in on whether the autopen’s use in issuing pardons aligns with historical precedents or if it represents a significant departure from established norms. As the situation unfolds, the implications for both legal and political discourse remain uncertain.
