Very Interesting: SWC--Autopen DoJ Pardon Attorney Firing = Investigation - Mark  

I’m sure readers have seen the stories over the past week or more about the discovery that virtually all White House docs were not signed by Zhou—they were signed by a machine, an autopen machine. Naturally that discovery has led to speculation about the validity of such “signatures,” the identity of the person(s) operating the machine, whether Zhou had knowledge of all, most, or only a few of the docs that were executed in this manner...

Shipwreckedcrew has written an article for Red State that raises a very specific issue with regard to the autopen ops, in combination with the final Zhou pardons. 

Of course, there’s the issue of whether pardons signed in this manner are even valid. 

• However, a very recent firing raises that issue more sharply, and that is the firing of the DoJ Pardon Attorney, Liz Oyer, who was in charge of the pardon process. 
• Specifically, the manner of the firing suggests that DoJ was anxious to prevent Oyer from destroying evidence, which would only be the case if there was an active investigation:

But there was a noteworthy aspect of her dismissal that was reported by the Wall Street Journal the day after her firing – she was immediately escorted from the building by security.

This is done when there is an ongoing investigation that the individual is likely unaware of, and those conducting the investigation want to preserve all electronic records that might be available on a computer and cell phone. Asking her to leave immediately prevents any attempt to delete such records.
