House Oversight Committee Investigates Biden’s Inauguration

The House Oversight Committee is currently examining former President Joe Biden’s cognitive health during his inauguration, alleged cover-ups, and potential exploitation. It appears that this investigation may expose inconsistencies that could create challenges for Biden’s team when they testify in the near future.

Mike Howell, president of the Surveillance Project, indicated in early March that Biden’s signatures on various national documents, including commuting orders and executive orders, seemed to be manipulated. He stated, “We were right. Time for Real Accountability.”

On Wednesday, Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s former doctor, chose to invoke the Fifth Amendment during the committee’s inquiries, citing confidentiality between physician and patient.

This silence from the doctor led Republican committee members to speculate that O’Connor might be “trying to avoid criminal liability,” suggesting a serious attempt to downplay a significant cover-up.

The following day, Biden discussed the situation with The New York Times. It seemed like he was making a concerted effort to clarify his involvement in the controversies surrounding autopen use for signing documents. In a brief ten-minute phone interview, his explanations didn’t quite land as intended.

Biden’s statements on his role in a record number of commutations on his last day in office were somewhat ambiguous. He claimed, “I made all of them,” but there was a sense that he might not be fully taking credit.

He mentioned communicating his decisions verbally but indicated a lack of documented evidence to prove he personally approved each pardon. Biden noted that the autopen was utilized frequently because he was dealing with a high volume of requests, which raised questions about his direct involvement in the process.

Biden elaborated, “Well, first of all, there’s a category. They haven’t read names due to conflicts involving people locked down during the pandemic. So, what we really read the names was something I know.” It seemed unclear how deeply he was involved in approving specific pardons.

Regarding the preemptive pardons leading up to his departure, it appears decisions stemmed more from his advisors rather than direct instructions from him. Communication from Biden’s White House was revealed to investigators, which brought additional scrutiny to his claims of involvement.

An email exchange showed that Stephanie Feldman, a key aide in Biden’s administration, managed the use of the autopen and requested written confirmation of Biden’s verbal directives during crucial meetings. However, these records appeared to be based on second-hand accounts and were sometimes recorded days after the meetings.

Additionally, it has been suggested that the aide drafting confirmations of Biden’s decisions wasn’t present when the instructions were initially given.

Interestingly, Democrats within the party have previously mentioned that there was significant back-and-forth among Biden’s advisors about issuing pardons, particularly surrounding individuals who might have been targeted if Donald Trump regained the presidency.

The list of participants in those discussions seems to indicate that detailed instruction was not definitively communicated to the aide responsible for documenting Biden’s decisions.

In conclusion, the meeting notes indicate that Biden’s involvement, at best, was not as formalized as he suggested, suggesting a disconnect between his portrayal of control and the reality of the decision-making process.

Amidst this, Trump’s spokesperson weighed in, stating that Biden “should not be trusted” and that clarity is needed regarding who truly managed the country’s direction during Biden’s administration.
