Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul Pushes For Fauci Prosecution: Autopen Pardon Showdown Looms

Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., is escalating his long-standing clash with Dr. Anthony Fauci, urging the Department of Justice to charge the former top health adviser with a felony for allegedly lying to Congress.

But this isn’t just about Fauci; Senator Paul’s move aims to test the legal validity of pardons issued by former President Joe Biden via autopen, setting the stage for a potential constitutional showdown.

Paul contends that the only way to challenge the efficacy of Biden’s autopen pardons – which also notably include Hunter Biden, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, and members of the January 6th House committee – is to pursue charges against a pardoned individual.

Former President Biden told The New York Times earlier this month that he approved every pardon, despite using an autopen for efficiency. “I made every decision,” Biden stated, clarifying that the autopen was used because “we’re talking about a whole lot of people.”

The question remains: will the Justice Department take the bait, and if so, will Biden’s autopen signatures withstand the scrutiny of a courtroom?
