Over the last 48 hours, there has been a lot of talk about the latest Biden administration scandal to emerge: his numerous pardons, including those of Liz Cheney and Anthony Fauci. We mentioned this previously here and here.

It's bad news for Biden, but even worse news for the high-profile recipients of those pardons, because those pardons might not be valid.

But NBC News, ever the propagandists for the DNC, think they've put an end to this case with the lamest 'gotcha' this writer has ever seen.

Behold:

Seriously?

SERIOUSLY?!

Here's what Ryan Nobles and Melanie Zanona write:

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., has been leading the probe into Joe Biden’s cognitive state during his presidency, with Republicans alleging that Biden's occasional use of an “autopen” to sign documents — a practice other presidents have done as well — demonstrated that he wasn’t fully in control or aware of what his administration was doing.

But documents show that some of the letters and subpoena notices Comer has sent out in connection to his investigation have been signed using a digital signature — not written by the congressman himself.

Trump and his allies have repeatedly pushed the autopen theory to undermine Biden and his policies. In June, Trump ordered an investigation into the matter and said it was “one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.” Biden has denied the allegations, calling them “ridiculous and false.”

We do not despise the media enough.

The question is not about the use of autopen, per se, but whether Biden authorized, consented to, and was aware of who was being pardoned (or if staffers were making those decisions). Only Biden, as president, had the Constitutional authority to do so.

Nobles and Zanona (and their editors) should be fired for failing to understand this basic Constitutional concept. And if they do understand it, they should be fired for journalistic malpractice.

This writer has an English degree and a nursing degree, and even she gets it.

They're not journalists. They're stenographers.

Both is good.

They're journalists for NBC News. They sold their souls for the byline.

Yes, it is.

Works for us.

This writer laughed. Hard.

Not even remotely in question.

And we bet if we asked Comer about it, he'd recall doing so.

Biden? Not so much.

They cannot stop being stupid. It's in their DNA.

We do not have the capacity to hate them as much as we should.

Well said.

We're all laughing at you, NBC 'News.'

Great job.
