Ed Martin, who will soon assume the role of Pardon Attorney in the Justice Department, just announced that an investigation has been launching to Biden’s last-minute pardons.

Speaking at a press conference, Ed Martin confirmed that the DOJ is reviewing pardons issued by Joe Biden’s autopen during his final days in the White House.

From ABC News:

Ed Martin, the outgoing Washington, D.C., U.S. attorney who will soon start his role as DOJ’s pardon attorney and chief of the so-called “Weaponization Working Group,” said he plans to review and scrutinize the last-minute pardons issued by former President Joe Biden.

Martin’s appointment to several powerful positions at the Justice Department — following his rejected confirmation by the U.S. Senate — appears to have emboldened him to more aggressively pursue political targets of President Donald Trump, according to a series of recent interviews with right-wing media outlets and his Tuesday press conference.

“I do think that the Biden pardons need some scrutiny. And they need scrutiny because we want pardons to matter and to be accepted and to be something that’s used correctly. So I do think we’re going to take a hard look at how they went and what they did,” Martin told ABC News during the press conference.

“If they’re null and void, I’m not sure how that operates, but I can tell you we’ve had already, I’ve had in my current position, or my position as US Attorney, we had been taking a look at some of the conduct surrounding the pardons and the Biden White House,” he said.

Biden’s last-minute blanket pardon list includes Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Milley, J6 Committee members, and his own son Hunter Biden.

All were signed off on using an autopen and not hand-signed by Joe Biden:

Earlier this week, Ed Martin addressed the extremely sketchy pardons on Vince Coglianese’s podcast:

All of these pardons done by autopen need to be investigated…we, the people, deserve to know who actually signed off on them, if not Joe himself.

Autopen pardons look shady af, good on DOJ for probing.

I can’t wait to see what Ed Martin and the DOJ uncover.
