And this is what the media was covering up….. At least five people, (not named Obama) were running the country while Auto-pen Joe Biden faded away…. The real one in charge of course was Obama and his cronies, but fake Jake Tapper and the rest of the media don’t want to reveal it.. Instead, they named others such as Ron Klain, crackhead Hunter Biden and power hungry Jill Biden ran the country too.
During the Biden administration, Ricchetti played a key role in helping the former president steer through key legislative battles. At times, he would also weigh in on pressing political matters.
At one point, Ricchetti personally called a reporter of an unnamed media outlet off the record to refute claims from multiple sources about Biden’s health, according to the book. He also fumed after actor George Clooney penned a stunning op-ed urging Biden to drop out of the race.
“Ricchetti read it and was furious. Internally, he threatened to shut Clooney down—some of his colleagues thought he sounded like a mob boss,” the authors wrote.
Bruce Reed, deputy chief of staff for policy
Reed previously served as Biden’s chief of staff during the first half of his vice presidency, prior to Ricchetti later taking over that post. He is also an alumnus of the Clinton administration.He was widely regarded as a “policy wonk” and was among the advisers who helped prep Biden for his disastrous debate against President Trump.
Ron Klain, ex-chief of staff
As Biden’s first chief of staff during his presidency, Klain was very influential and had sway over key decisions and messaging strategy — even after he left the White House, according to “Original Sin.”Klain had been in Biden’s orbit since the 1980s during the former president’s Senate days. He also worked on the Clinton campaign in 2016.
He officially exited the White House in February 2023, but still retained influence on the former president and helped him prepare for his disastrous debate against Trump last June.
“Biden showed a particular deference to Klain even though his chief of staff was often more progressive. Biden had deep respect for Klain’s intellect. ‘Only one person here is smarter than me and it’s
Ron,’ aides heard him say,” the book claimed.Hunter Biden and Jill Biden
Jill Biden had also been a key force in trying to shield her husband’s faux pas from the public in what some have dubbed operation “bubble wrap” and Hunter Biden was seen as a key force trying to prevent his father from dropping out of the 2024 race.In the earlier stages of the former president’s political career, the first lady had been a “reluctant political spouse,” but she had significant influence throughout his administration, admonishing staffers at times for letting him ramble on too long in front of the cameras.

Hunter Biden had weighed heavily on his father during his second term, and some aides speculated it played a role in his decline.“To understand Joe Biden’s deterioration, top aides told us, one has to know Hunter’s struggles,” the book said.
‘Plum jobs’
Many “politburo” members also brought key friends and family into plum Biden administration roles.Donilon’s niece landed a role on the National Security Council, according to the book.
