What’s interesting is that if this announcement was put out on Biden’s behalf, without his approval, it leaves Biden with few options. He can say it was done without his consent but then he has to explain why he wasn’t in control of his own communications team or why he didn’t immediately release another statement saying it was a hoax. His silence alone demonstrates he’s not in control.
Now if Biden really wants to be Samson and take the whole party down with him he could say at his next public event, that the resignation notice was sent without his authorization. But where does that leave him? Is he going to turn on the his co-conspirators? If he has stories to tell about them, they have stories they can tell about him.
In other words, even if Biden didn’t agree to drop out, they have him boxed in. I have to admit that if that’s what happened, the deep state played their cards very well - seven ways from Sunday and all that. They have many ways to take someone out - especially one of their own.
