A Kentucky Republican leading the Trump administrations investigation into Joe Bidens mental capacities during his time in office, including Bidens reliance, like many other presidents, on an automatic signature machine, has been shown to have used a digital signature himself in the course of the investigation.
NBC reported that some letters and subpoena notices issued by James Comer, which were sent out in connection to his investigation into Bidens use of the so-called autopen, bore a digital signature.
Comer has sent 16 letters to former Biden White House officials requesting transcribed interviews, NBC said. Metadata analysis showed that all appeared to be signed with a digitally inserted signature.

(642 posts)Much of what the president signs is letters, cards, and similar items that don't have the effect of an Executive Order or approving legislation. If it weren't for the auto pen then he'd eventually get carpal tunnel requiring surgery and wouldn't be able to sign anything while healing.
Really, all this is is the republic party trying to distract people from what the harm the Orange Turd is doing

(14,458 posts)Knowing this ahead of time Trump tried to hide the top secret files and then said they were his and he had secretly declassified them when no one was looking. That certainly trumps autopen. The media has failed us miserably. They are resposible at least in part for the orange turd.

(826 posts)It needs to end now, as it is certainly easily abusable, apparently.
Perhaps the whole concept of governance is so fraught that we should abandon the notion and revert to the Cave. We're already firmly on the path to brutishness and might as well "Eat the Devil as Drink His Broth", as my Wizened Granny used to say.
So much time, energy and government wasted trying to establish "whose ass is blacker" that we are ignoring any chance we have to better the lives of rank-and-file Americans.
All the while, larceny runs rampant and the rich get richer.
It's Working!!!!!
So, let's get this sorted: When Democats use autopen it's a Crime; when Republicans use autopen it's MAGA- nanimous!

(29,624 posts)Indirectly, and I can't remember for which EO or decree, but a reporter asked him a question about some "policy" and he said he didn't know what they were talking about, Rubio took care of it for him. It was probably around deportations, maybe in late March or April. Anyone else remember that?
Different pen strokes etc.😂

(868 posts)When a Democrat does it, it's evil, immoral, wrong, outrageous or criminal. When a Republican does THE EXACT SAME THING, it's nobody's business; much ado about nothing; nothing to see here; move along.
So what else is new?
