Report: Biden Will Give Eric Schmidt a Prominent Tech Task Force Role (former Google CEO)
Breitbart ^ | November 10 2020 | ALLUM BOKHARI

Posted on 11/10/2020 7:06:24 AM PST by knighthawk

Former Google CEO and Clinton lackey Eric Schmidt is being considered to lead a key tech task force in a Biden administration, according to a report in the Financial Times.

Even though the election result is still disputed by President Donald Trump and the Republicans, Joe Biden is already forming his transition team, which includes many former Silicon Valley employees, including Schmidt.

According to the Financial Times (paywalled), presidential contender Biden has:

hired both Jessica Hertz, former associate general counsel at Facebook, and Cynthia Hogan, former Apple vice-president for government affairs to his transition team. Eric Schmidt, the former Google chief executive, has been a big fundraiser, and is being talked about to lead a new technology industry task force in the White House.

Isn’t this the guy moving to Cyprus for his tax avoidance citizenship?

Good, solid, all-American choice Joe.

Considering a certain exception to our extradition treaty with Cyprus, I don’t tax benefits are the only reason for big tech head honcho to go there.

The article doesn’t say what the task force will be doing. I wonder if this isn’t somehow tied into Jake Tapper’s blacklisting. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/11/09/nolte-cnns-jake-tapper-tells-trump-staffers-concede-or-get-blacklisted/

Big Tech bought their way in. A Biden Administration will be an organized crime syndicate.

Eric Schmidt presided over Novell (a network software company) where it was actually far superior to Microsoft, and made such huge blunders that it quickly went out of business.

To this day, Microsoft’s Active Directory STILL cannot do certain things that Novell Directory Services was able to do back in the 1980s, as far as network management goes.

At the time, I was under the belief that Schmidt was on Microsoft’s payroll.

knighthawk :" ..Joe Biden is already forming his transition team, which includes many former Silicon Valley employees, including Schmidt. "

Do you need any more proof of our new electronic overlords ?
Isn't this Eric Schmidt who, prior to the election, was pursuing Cyprus citizenship ?

His reward for helping big tech suppress truth and promote democrat lies during the election.

After 2016, he vowed to be certain that President Trump would be defeated, using all of the capabilities of Alphabet (the company that OWNS Google.)

Schmidt was deep into Obama’s super database that Mad Maxine warned all about. I have no doubt that he’d be called on to implement the retribution blacklist.

True fascism. Private businesses, in this case Social(ist) Media, under the direction of government.

They are crying for unity while now preparing blacklist. I’m glad they are finally self indentifying as enemy combatants. We’re going to start seeing corruption of blood on a civil war era scale. President Obama directed that the Guantánamo Bay military prison be closed, what forethought went into that decision. I would like to see Trump introduce the sport of towel surfing very soon.

I thought Schmidt moved to Cyprus and is now an official citizen there.
