Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots.
He says there was an elite inner circle of advisors who would make the decisions and “steer the country.” He gives the names of the people in that group.
Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions.
“Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.”
Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from within the Biden administration, as the name would suggest is a tightly held group of senior advisors — these were the individuals that help steer the government.”
The mainstream media was in on the coverup. How are there no consequences for these people.

So why isn’t there any arrests? This should be the #1 investigation in the country.

China Handpicks American Journalists for Program to Spread CCP Propaganda in American Media
For the entire time that FDR was stuck in a wheelchair (1921), the media successfully kept it from the public, and in hearing about it, the thinking was that there was NO WAY he could get away with something like that today.
They did with Biden, even worse, far worse.
Well, at least we know they weren’t stupid. Just evil.
Mind game: CCP ‘United Front’ group invested in U.S. journalists for influence op
In a highly structured pay-to-play operation, a Chinese influence group offered American journalists all-expenses-paid trips to China and access to top officials with the goal of the journalists returning to the U.S. with a significantly improved opinion of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The Better Hong Kong Foundation is the group which said it “sponsored and organized” the trips, Natalie Winters noted in an Aug. 10 substack analysis. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs helped arrange meetings with senior central and local government officials.

“Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots...”
And we all knew that you are really caca Jake Fapper.
This is ooooold news.
Who was calling the shots...?
Barack Hussein Obama, that’s who.
Well they knew Obama wasn’t either, but still kept their mouths shut.
Never again to be near the news media. Get rid of them all.
Obama didn’t even call his own shots. He was just the face man for a shadowy cabal of hard-left ‘Rats with links going all the way back to the SDS.
