The pardon was signed by autopen, and substantial evidence raises questions about whether President Biden personally authorized it. The basic facts are therefore established: Fauci’s pardon was executed by autopen, and serious questions remain about Biden’s awareness and authorization. So far, the Justice Department has shown no appetite for testing the issue in court. The only meaningful route runs through the Justice Department: charge Fauci, force litigation over the pardon, and finally test whether Biden lawfully authorized it. It is sustained pressure on the Justice Department to treat autopenned actions the way Trump himself described them: null and void.
