No Exaggeration: State AG Sets Stage to Reverse Entire Biden Presidency

Missouri’s attorney general is pressing for answers regarding what former President Joe Biden knew—and for how long he knew it.

In a recent post on X, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey urged the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into whether Biden’s flood of executive orders and pardons in the final weeks of his presidency were issued while he was unaware of what he was signing.

“I am demanding the DOJ [investigate] whether President Biden’s cognitive decline allowed unelected staff to push through radical policy without his knowing approval,” Bailey stated. “If true, these executive orders, pardons, and all other actions are unconstitutional and legally void.”

Bailey attached a letter addressed to Michael Horowitz, the inspector general of the Department of Justice, emphasizing his concerns.

In the letter, Bailey argued that there are “profound reasons to suspect that Biden’s staff and political allies exploited his mental decline to issue purported presidential orders without his knowing approval.”

Bailey pointed to statements from House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has indicated that Democrats attempted to block him from personally meeting with Biden at the White House.

“Speaker Johnson, for example, reported that staff and elected officials—including former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer—tried to prevent Johnson from meeting with Biden,” Bailey wrote.

He elaborated further: “Though presidents always have gatekeepers, in Biden’s case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater, according to Democratic lawmakers, donors, and aides who worked for Biden and other administrations. Staff limited Biden’s ability to speak with others and limited the sources of information he consumed.”

Bailey asserted that “staffers and the Vice President cannot constitutionally evade accountability by laundering far-left orders through a man who does not know what he is signing.”

He also suggested that if Biden’s staff were the true authors behind many of his orders, it could explain why his administration’s policies veered “much farther to the left than any previous President.” If that were the case, Bailey stated, “those orders are null and void.”

“By now, Biden’s mental decline is famous,” Bailey wrote, arguing that under the 25th Amendment, Biden’s inability to make decisions should have led to a transfer of power. Instead, he contended, “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.”

Bailey maintained that this issue remains significant even though Biden is no longer in office.

“Who has been running the country for the last few years?” Bailey asked. “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.”

He referenced Democratic National Committee fundraiser Lindy Li, who recently claimed that “the people who ran our country for the last four years were his staff, his wife, and his son Hunter Biden.”

Bailey concluded his letter by urging the DOJ to investigate or refer the matter to another investigative body to determine “which of Biden’s purported orders were knowingly issued by a competent President and which were not.”

In January, Johnson revealed concerns that Biden did not know what he was signing, according to the Free Press of D.C.

Johnson recounted an incident in early 2024 in which Biden denied pausing exports of liquified natural gas—despite having signed an order to do so. Johnson said he believed Biden was not being dishonest but genuinely unaware of the decision.

“He genuinely did not know what he had signed,” Johnson said.

“And I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble—who is running the country?’ Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know,” he added.
