Matt Gagnon discusses concerns about the use of an autopen by President Joe Biden, highlighting its potential for misuse and the lack of transparency in its operation. He questions the integrity of documents signed with the autopen, given Biden’s documented cognitive decline and the involvement of his advisors in a cover-up. Gagnon suggests that the autopen should be used only under strict controls, such as video recording and multiple authorization steps, to prevent unauthorized actions. Jason from Westbrook agrees, proposing additional security measures like fingerprint or password authentication. Paul adds that similar controls exist for check deposits, emphasizing the need for a robust process behind the autopen’s use.
