At Minimum: They Go to Jail!

Let’s stop pretending this was normal.

The so-called presidency of Joe Biden wasn’t just incompetent. It was coordinated. It was concealed. And if this new investigation bears out what many of us suspected all along—it was criminal.

Earlier this week, President Trump ordered a full-scale investigation into the actions of the previous administration. He isn’t doing it for show. He isn’t doing it for revenge. He’s doing it because someone has to peel back the rot—and there’s a lot of it. The review, titled “Reviewing Certain Presidential Actions,” is a long-overdue look into how a cognitively declining president was used as a hollow shell while unelected, unaccountable operatives ran the country from the shadows.

That’s not a conspiracy theory. That’s not hyperbole. That’s a coup.

According to the White House memorandum, the investigation will specifically examine the grotesque abuse of the “autopen”—a machine that can sign documents on behalf of a president. While it may sound harmless to the uninformed, it was anything but. Over 1,200 executive actions were signed this way under Biden’s name. That includes clemency grants, immigration decrees, and the appointments of more than 200 federal judges. You read that right—judges. Deciders of law. Rubber-stamped by a robot because Biden likely wasn’t lucid enough to lift a pen.

If Joe Biden wasn’t capable of understanding or authorizing those actions, they’re invalid. Period. This isn’t clerical error. This isn’t harmless delegation. This is fraud perpetrated on the American people at the highest level.

The Founders feared a monarchy, but I doubt even they imagined the modern twist—a puppet king and a court of handlers who used his name to do as they pleased. We weren’t governed; we were conned.

And just look at what these power-hungry operatives did with that fake authority. Millions of illegal immigrants were waved into the country under so-called “parole” policies that sidestepped Congress, overwhelmed cities, and destabilized communities from El Paso to Staten Island. Some of them went on to commit violent crimes—including rape, assault, and murder. Entire towns are buckling under the weight of policies not made by a president—but made in his name, by people we didn’t elect.

Let that sink in.

Even worse, we now learn that criminals already convicted—some of them for trafficking drugs and guns—were released under Biden’s “signature.” Except now we don’t know if he even knew. Was it Jill? Ron Klain? Susan Rice? Jake Sullivan? Whoever it was, they weren't elected, and they had no constitutional right to exercise that power.

Our enemies must have been laughing. A nuclear superpower led by… nobody.

And yet, the media told us to sit down and shut up. That everything was fine. Despite Jake Tapper’s book claiming otherwise, he and the rest of the self-anointed “journalist” class barked at us like lapdogs for even daring to ask questions. They treated any concern about Biden’s cognitive state as conspiracy theory, while they nodded dutifully at cue cards and pretended he was “sharp as ever.” They weren’t reporting. They were running cover for a historic fraud.

The contrast between 2020 and 2024 couldn’t be starker. In 2020, they rigged the chessboard. They hid Biden in a basement, wrapped him in a blanket of friendly coverage, and installed him through mail-in ballots and Zuckerbucks. In 2024, the American people finally took their country back. But the cost? Years of damage, lawlessness, and policies signed by a ghost.

It wasn’t just election fraud—it was constitutional theft.

We have a process for presidential incapacity. It’s called the 25th Amendment. It exists for a reason. But instead of invoking it, Biden’s team used him as a prop while they quietly seized the powers of the presidency. They didn’t just lie to us. They overthrew the presidency while smiling for the cameras.

Call it what it is: treason. Betrayal. A slow-motion coup masked as caretaking.

If it’s proven that Biden didn’t knowingly authorize key decisions, the American people deserve more than apologies. They deserve indictments. People need to be charged. There must be accountability. Real accountability—not symbolic firings or PR rehabs. We’re talking jail time. Felonies. Stripped pensions. Lives ruined. Because that’s the cost of defrauding a democracy.

This wasn’t a clerical issue. This was the theft of our governance. And it’s not just what they signed. It’s what they undid. President Trump’s lawful actions were blocked, reversed, or erased by operatives abusing a hollow man’s name. It’s one of the greatest political crimes ever attempted in American history.

And we are just beginning to uncover it.

So yes, review every order. Audit every commutation. Track every autopen signature like a crime scene fingerprint. Find out who authorized them. And haul them in front of a grand jury.

Because at minimum—AT MINIMUM— they go to jail.

And if there’s justice left in the United States of America… they’re not going alone.
