Most of this article draws from revelations in Jake Tapper's book "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again." This is a long one, so grab a drink and settle in.


Congressional investigators have identified about fifteen people who allegedly ran a massive cover-up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline while controlling presidential decision-making. Here are their names, their jobs, and what they're accused of doing.

Jake Tapper, in his explosive book "Original Sin," calls this inner circle a "Politburo." The secretive group that ran the Soviet Union. The comparison isn't accidental. Like their Soviet counterparts, this group operated with crazy amounts of power, made decisions affecting millions of Americans, and kept control through loyalty, secrecy, and shutting out anyone who disagreed.

But who exactly were these people? What jobs did they hold, and how did they allegedly pull off what might be the biggest cover-up in presidential history? As the House Oversight Committee's investigation heats up and former aides either hire lawyers or plead the Fifth, we're getting a clearer picture of three power circles around Biden: The Politburo, The Praetorian Guard, and The Family Circle.

Understanding these players isn't just about pointing fingers. It's about figuring out how American democracy worked when the elected president may not have been working at all.
