Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett has alleged that staffers in Joe Biden’s administration engaged in a “cash for clemency” scheme, using an autopen to issue pardons in exchange for financial payoffs.
An autopen is a device that mechanically reproduces signatures.
On Tuesday, Rep. Burchett appeared on “The Benny Johnson Show” and stated, “You are gonna find staffers that were able to take forms, get them and run them through some sort of bogus legal system, then they auto-penned them.”
Burchett said he believes there was a pay-for-pardon scheme happening, and pointed to a historical scandal involving former Tennessee Governor Ray Blanton, who was implicated in selling pardons in the 1970s.
“Tennessee has had a history of this; we had a governor … he sold pardons,” Burchett said. “You can look it up. His name is Ray Blanton. It made national news.” more
WHERE WERE THESE ASSHOLES MONTHS AGO???
FFS!!
Why not? EVERYTHING else was for sale.
That big dumpster-load of last-minute pardons was likely the result of White Hut staffers realizing that Joey was so far gone that they didn’t have to tell him shit any more, and more importantly, didn’t have to fork over the Big Guy’s ten percent any more. So they got a little over-excited and went a little overboard.
Ya think? Really
I can’t imagine that is the case. They have all sworn allegiance to the USA, and it’s hard to imagine they would violate their oath. On top of that they are all being paid a fair wage so there is no need for them to further enrich themselves at taxpayers expense, I just don’t see that happening.
How much were they charging?
Comey had to pay seven pairs of Melania’s panties for his pardon.
Years ago, when I arrived in Nashville for a job interview the guy who met me at the airport announced “Welcome to Tennessee. Our Governor is a criminal.”

“On top of that they are all being paid a fair wage so there is no need for them to further enrich themselves at taxpayers expense, I just don’t see that happening.”
See Samantha Powers’, personal banking records from when she started at USAID and when she exited. Or at Pelosi’s, McCONnell’s, Biden’s or half of the House and Senate. Many questionable deposits, I’m sure can be explained away.
But, “they’re paid a fair wage so there is no need for them to further enrich themselves at taxpayers expense, I just don’t see that happening.”
I believe Joe6 was being facetious. I thought it was a humorous post.
Considering that Hunter was probably running the show, giving him access to the auto-pen was like giving a hand grenade to a monkey!
Per The Blaze, Ed “Martin identified the following three “gatekeepers”: Ron Klain, Biden’s White House chief of staff from 2021 to 2023 who returned to the fold last year amid Biden’s debate preparation; former senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn; and Barack Obama’s former personal attorney Robert Bauer.
The DOJ’s pardon attorney subsequently threw two more names into the mix — Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to Biden who previously served as chairman of his 2020 presidential campaign, and “obviously Jill [Biden].”
