I've referred Fauci to the DOJ four times, twice under Biden, twice under Trump, and no action has been taken yet. But Biden's autopen pardon may not be worth the paper it's written on.
Can you issue a blanket pardon for unspecified crimes over a 10-year period? I think the courts may say no. The fight isn't over. @mirandadevine

Analysis Summary
Rand Paul states he has made multiple referrals of Fauci to the DOJ and questions the legal validity of Biden's autopen pardon. The core facts are documented — Paul has publicly referred Fauci multiple times and Biden did issue the pardon via autopen on January 19, 2025 without being physically present. The exact count of referrals ('four times') is not fully independently verified, and the legal question about pardon scope remains unsettled — the House Oversight Committee called it void, but constitutional scholars and Biden's team dispute this, and courts have not yet ruled. The post attributes analysis to Miranda Devine without full context about the ongoing debate among legal experts over autopen pardon validity.
Claims Analysis (3)
“I've referred Fauci to the DOJ four times, twice under Biden, twice under Trump”
Search results confirm at least three documented referrals (July 2021, July 2025, and a re-referral). The exact count of four is not fully corroborated by public records.
“Biden's autopen pardon may not be worth the paper it's written on”
The legal validity of the autopen pardon is genuinely disputed. GOP House Oversight deemed it 'void,' but constitutional scholars and Biden's legal team defend it as valid. Courts have not yet ruled definitively.
“Can you issue a blanket pardon for unspecified crimes over a 10-year period? I think the courts may say no.”
The scope and vagueness of Biden's pardon (covering 10 years of potential crimes without specifying what crimes) is a genuine legal question. The House Oversight Committee raised this issue, but courts have not yet ruled on whether such breadth is constitutional.
