    So Martin is in charge of the Weaponization Working Group, whose mission is to root out those who used their positions to go after Trump. It only makes sense that goes after Biden's staff.:cool:

    Anita Dunn was Biden's closest adviser in the WH which explains why the Biden Administration was so far left of any other democratic presidency. Obama was left of center compared to Biden who was off the chart left.

    https://www.theblaze.com/news/ed-ma...ntroversy-trump-accuses-exploiters-of-treason

    Ed Martin names 3 suspects being investigated for use of Joe Biden's autopen, Anita Dunn and husband Robert Bauer along with Ron Klain. He opened this investigation while serving as temporary DC District Attorney.

    Glenn Beck was on to communist Anita Dunn and husband 15 years ago. Everybody on both sides of the political spectrum tagged him as being crazy. Glenn has to be smiling this morning:

    Martin indicates one whistleblower has come forward, and persons of interest have lawyered up.

    Ed Martin, the incoming Department of Justice pardon attorney and director of the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group, announced last week that he was looking into the questionable "autopen" pardons issued in the final days of the Biden White House. It turns out, however, that he began digging into the matter while still the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

    Martin identified the following three "gatekeepers": Ron Klain, Biden's White House chief of staff from 2021 to 2023 who returned to the fold last year amid Biden's debate preparation; former senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn; and Barack Obama's former personal attorney Robert Bauer.

    Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, told Blaze News, "There's no question that Ed Martin is on the case. As both the pardon attorney and President Trump's weaponization czar, he is uniquely positioned to answer the question everyone is asking, 'Who was the president during the Biden years?'"

    Anita Dunn along with her husband were on the outside looking in when it came to Biden's closest advisors. There was a group of about four or five of them that had been with Biden for over 30 years. Klain was one. Cannot remember the other four but will find their names later. Dunn is a gun for hire, not a Biden loyalist.

    On edit: These are the other four:
    • Mike Donilon
    • Steve Ricchetti
    • Annie Tomasini
    • Anthony Bernal

    I think the American people should know who was actually running things under Biden and who actually used the auto pen

    Go for it. Undo all the pardons and then the next Democratic president can undo all the pardons for the Jan 6ers.

    According to some, Trump was still the POTUS during that time

    I’m not disputing that Biden was not running his White House. It’s just that Anita Dunn was not one of the long time Biden loyalists that made up the inner circle of senior Biden aides that were.

    Dunn is an Obama insider and Team Biden still had a lot of resentment towards the Obama insiders due how they treated him during his time as VP and being pushed aside for Hillary. She was a senior strategist but if you want to talk about who was really in charge early on it was Klain. There was a reason he was referred to as the Prime Minister of the Biden Admin while he was there. And even Klain, who worked for Biden for a while, had to work to get back into Team Biden’s good graces after working on the Clinton campaign in ‘16.

    The other four I mentioned were with Biden for a long time, some for 30+ years. They were with him almost everyday he was in the White House.

    Doesnt mean the ones on the fringes cant be questioned. I introduced that list as a guide, but it isnt above reproach on a case by case bases at all.

    Everything is becoming automated these days. Before long, we'll look back and laugh that we actually had presidents who crafted legislation.

    Define weaponization, please. You might be confusing law enforcement due diligence with weaponization.

    To me, weaponization is inventing crimes against someone... and then prosecuting them for said made-up crimes.
