Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is urging the President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate who truly was running the country under Biden’s final years in office, since it is public knowledge he was on a mental decline. The issue could bring up the fact that some of Biden’s actions are “legally void.”
According to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, Bailey wants to know whether former President Joe Biden’s staff exploited his mental decline to implement far-left policies.
If so, Biden’s executive actions — including last-minute clemency grants to violent criminals and sentence commutations for death row inmates — are “legally void” if he did not give his knowing approval, Bailey wrote Tuesday in a letter to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
“By now, Biden’s mental decline is famous,” Bailey wrote. “Under the 25th Amendment, his inability to make decisions should have meant a succession of power. Instead, it appears staffers and officers in the Biden administration may have exploited Biden’s incapacity so they could issue orders without an accountable President of sound mind approving them.”
There are “profound reasons to suspect that Biden’s staff and political allies exploited his mental decline,” which was evident before he dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, Bailey noted.
“Who has been running the country for the last few years?” Bailey wrote. “I fear that Mr. Biden, while he held the office of President, did so in name only and was a mere puppet for far-left, unelected staffers. The people deserve to know the truth.”
One undeniable and very public acknowledgement of Biden’s cognitive decline came from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified documents; Sur described Biden as “an elderly man with a poor memory.”
The Daily Caller also reminds us of how Biden was not aware he signed a moratorium on energy exports to Europe when Speaker of the House Mike Johnson asked about the decision, Johnson revealed during a January interview with The Free Press.
The Wall Street Journal reported how Biden’s aides carefully controlled his schedule and took on some of his responsibilities amid his decline.
“I thus ask you to launch an investigation, or refer my request to another investigative body, to determine which of Biden’s purported orders were knowingly issued by a competent President and which were not,” Bailey wrote.
In his final days in office, Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden. He pardoned several family members and issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley, along with members of the Jan. 6 committee, in the hours before Trump’s inauguration.
We all know and knew the answer. There was numerous times Joe signed things and claimed he did not even know what he was signing. Look at the footage and figure it out. Then, overturn everything after that that doesn’t pass the smell test as Rush would say.
