America is waking up to what should horrify every patriot: House Oversight Chair James Comer is now calling CEOs of major tech platforms to testify before Congress as part of a broad probe into whether unelected aides and private actors were running the show while Joe Biden’s fitness for office was in doubt. This is not partisan theater — it’s about the integrity of our institutions and whether the public was deliberately kept in the dark about who actually exercised presidential power.
Comer has warned that the use of the autopen and the chaotic record-keeping around late-term executive actions could leave Biden’s pardons and executive orders in deep legal jeopardy, and rightly so. If documents were signed without the President’s informed, knowing consent, those actions open the door to legitimate constitutional and judicial challenges — something our country’s rule of law must investigate thoroughly.
Republicans on the Oversight Committee aren’t bluffing: after the White House waived executive privilege for certain witnesses, an important aide backed out of a scheduled interview, prompting Comer to promise subpoenas to compel testimony. That kind of obstruction — declining to answer basic questions about who approved what — smells like a cover-up, and Americans deserve the answers.
The facts piling up are alarming: multiple former aides have invoked their Fifth Amendment rights during depositions, and testimony from insiders suggests the autopen was used in ways that bypassed ordinary presidential controls. These are not the ramblings of fringe bloggers; they are formal investigative developments that demand swift congressional oversight and, if warranted, judicial review.
Comer has told television audiences the probe is “progressing” and that investigators have amassed a lot of evidence pointing to serious irregularities in how executive authority was exercised. That candid admission should put every American on notice — this is no small procedural dispute but a potential constitutional crisis that could invalidate unlawful acts taken in the name of the presidency.
Enough with the excuses and the partisan hand-wringing. Lawmakers must subpoena the tech bosses, compel the reluctant witnesses to answer, and, if the evidence supports it, let the courts sort out which actions remain valid. Patriots who love this country know that defending the Constitution is not a sporting event — it’s a duty — and Congress must act decisively to restore accountability and trust.
