I believe the American people have a right to know:
Who was really running the country while Biden was president?
...These inquiries have been spurred by new revelations about the president’s declining mental condition gleaned from the recently released “Original Sin,” written by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, which chronicles the extreme measures taken to hide Biden’s deterioration from the public.
In addition, audio tapes of special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Biden showed not just an “elderly man with a poor memory,” as Hur generously described Biden, but a person who has experienced serious mental decline. His confusion and lapses have raised even more questions about who was in charge of the country between 2021 and 2024. It’s become increasingly clear that it was not Biden.
We know this because we have a solid example where the former president was asked about an important policy switch that he had purportedly authored — and he got it wrong, denying he had made the change. Also, it was reported contemporaneously that in negotiations on important topics, Biden was reduced to reading from note cards and seemed detached from the conversations.
Someone else was almost certainly writing those note cards and giving the president his talking points. Biden was barely capable of putting two sentences together, much less sifting through details critical to crafting legislation or even policy...
...The White House and even the newly aware media is now pursuing the one remaining piece of the puzzle: Who was creating and then putting in place policies supposedly vetted by the president, and who else used the “autopen” found on so many documents? Was it Mike Donilon, who is cited by a recent piece in the Times of London? Or long-time adviser Anita Dunn? We just don’t know.
This is not just a fishing expedition. The public must know if some of Biden’s rules and policies were executed without his knowledge or consent. There is a possibility that Congress could challenge the legality of measures adopted by presidential aides or officials, rather than the country’s chief executive.
Complete text: Republicans scrutinize Biden's pardons and autopen use
My guess is that whoever was running the nation will do their level-best to keep it a secret.
