‘The ‘Politburo’: Here are the Five People Who Allegedly Ran the Biden White House, According to New Tapper Book |

The latest book by Jake Tapper, often criticized by various quarters, may have unearthed some startling revelations about the true power dynamics within the Biden administration.

According to a report by The New York Post, co-authors Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper assert in their book “Original Sin” that a select group of Biden advisers and family members have been steering the country in a manner reminiscent of a Soviet Politburo, while President Biden maintained the façade of leadership.

During a recent appearance on PBS’s “Washington Week,” Thompson elaborated, indicating that this influential clique was informally dubbed the “Politburo” within the White House.

“In terms of who was running the White House, it’s a small group of people that have been around,” Thompson remarked. “Some people within the administration called them the Politburo. That’s the term we used in the book.”

Notably, this ‘Politburo’ comprised key figures such as senior adviser Mike Donilon, Counselor to the President Steve Ricchetti, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Bruce Reed, First Lady Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden. Yes, according to these claims, Hunter was reportedly influencing significant decisions for the nation.

“Five people were running the country, and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of the board,” a source familiar with the White House’s inner workings disclosed to Tapper and Thompson.

The authors further mention that former chief of staff Ron Klain occasionally lent his support to this powerful group.

As highlighted by The New York Post, these individuals wielded enough influence to make critical economic decisions without any engagement from elected officials within Biden’s administration. One unnamed cabinet secretary expressed frustration to Tapper and Thompson, stating, “I’ve never seen a situation like this before, with so few people having so much power. They would make huge economic decisions without calling Secretary Yellen.”

In a development that is likely to draw a collective shrug from readers familiar with the political landscape, it appears the members of the ‘Politburo’ viewed Biden’s advanced age as merely a political hurdle rather than a genuine concern.

Moreover, Tapper and Thompson argue that Jill, Hunter, and Donilon regarded Biden as a candidate capable of campaigning on a series of policy successes, thereby justifying their ambition for a second term in office.

One lingering question that the authors do not address pertains to the individual responsible for signing off on the numerous pardons attributed to Biden. As extensively covered by , this issue has escalated to the point where both Congress and the White House are now under scrutiny.

If the insights shared by Tapper and Thompson hold any truth (and a portion likely does), it raises serious ethical concerns regarding their timing. Why wait until now to disclose such significant information instead of sounding the alarm sooner? It seems profit has taken precedence over patriotism.
