“It’s not looking good for those pardons” President Joe Biden gave out to Hunter Biden, other family members and cohorts in his administration, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said Thursday.

In an interview with Newsmax, Comer discussed Republicans’ investigation of how staff members used President Joe Biden’s auto-pen to sign documents on his behalf without his consent or, potentially, even his knowledge.

“We’re in the final stages of this auto-pen investigation: it’s not looking good for those pardons,” Rep. Comer explained:

“I could see a scenario where the pardons are declared null and void.

“We brought in all the people in the Biden inner circle. They all had different stories on how the auto-pen was used. But, one thing that’s been consistent is Joe Biden was AWOL.”

….

“You had a staff that was operating as president of the United States with that auto-pen – and I think that is going to throw in legal jeopardy all of the pardons for the Biden family, as well as the January 6 committee and Dr. Fauci and the list goes on and on and on.”

“So, I think that there’s going to be an opportunity now to get these people in court,” Chairman Comer said.

“The media will try to say it’s retribution, but it’s not retribution – it’s about accountability, it’s about getting the truth and it’s about abuse of power,” Comer said:

“I think the American people are now seeing the lengths to which people like (ex-FBI Director) Comey and the Bidens and Hillary Clinton went to try to defeat Donald Trump.”
