The House Oversight Committee has been investigating the autopen scandal under Joe Biden’s opaque presidency. Who was authorizing legislation of the president’s behalf? Neera Tanden, the former director of Biden’s Domestic Policy Council, testified that she received authorization to direct autopen signatures.
Tanden admitted that she did not know who was providing final clearance. In fact, she said she had very limited interaction with Joe Biden directly and never received confirmation on who was providing the final approval to use the automatic signature tool. Members of Biden’s inner circle intercepted memos prior to approval and sent them back to Tanden. Who was at the helm of the decision-making process?
“I just spoke with the House Oversight Committee, Majority and Minority Council. I answered every question, was pleased to discuss my public service and it was a thorough process. And I’m glad I answered everyone’s question,” Tanden told reporters after a five-hour interrogation. She insists that there was no attempt to hide Biden’s mental health, and in fact, his mental health was not largely discussed.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor is due to appear before the committee. O’Connor, Biden’s personal family friend, was responsible for affirming that Joe Biden was mentally “fit for duty.” Dr. O’Connor claimed Joe Biden was a “healthy, active, robust 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency.” Arthritis and sleep apnea were his only cited medical issues. The validity of his claims came into question when Biden revealed he had suffered from late-stage prostate cancer, a condition that would have been nearly impossible for his personal physician to miss during examinations. Every specialist has affirmed that Joe Biden undoubtedly has had cancer for years, with most stating it takes nine to 10 years for someone to develop this form of aggressive cancer.
They hid Biden’s physical and mental health from the American public. Someone in his inner circle was providing clearance and using Joe Biden’s signature without the approval of the chosen president, completely obliterating any resemblance of a democracy. Jill Biden and others are also set to testify in what may be one of the most disgraceful cover-ups in American history.

Joe Biden’s former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spent nearly three years demanding that the American people turn a blind eye to the ongoing failures of Biden’s health and policies. Jean-Pierre is now seeking personal fame in her forthcoming book, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.” As a publicity stunt, Jean-Pierre announced that she had left the Democratic Party to become an independent.
“Until January 20, I was responsible for speaking on behalf of the President of the United States,” she said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. “At noon on that day, I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically.”
Her role and only responsibility was to deliberately mislead the American public and spew out propaganda to dissuade the pubic from knowing the truth. Her “determination of the danger we face” is meaningless and beyond hypocritical. Perhaps she realizes that no one will now hire her. Biden himself noted that she was granted the position because he wanted to appoint a gay woman of color. She deserves to be subpoenaed to appear before a Congressional committee investigating one of the most extensive cover-up scandals in recent history.
“She made a joke about being an independent last year and now it’s a book. All ideas are monetary — even the dumb ones,” said one of the former staffers, as reported by Politico. Biden introduced her to the public as a DEI hire. Jean-Pierre was the LEAST transparent press secretary in the history of the United States. The few questions she did acknowledge were answered with blatant lies.
“The President has delivered historic economic growth, created millions of jobs, and made investments in infrastructure that are benefiting Americans in every state,” she touted. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics altered its data after Biden left office and admitted that the economy contracted. He sent jobs offshore. He passed the largest spending bill in American history under the premise of reducing inflation, which completely exacerbated the problem. “This administration is focused on lowering costs for families, strengthening our supply chains, and making sure America leads in the industries of the future,” she insisted. Biden later admitted the Inflation Reduction Act was a ruse to promote the climate change agenda.
She repeatedly mocked reporters for questioning Biden’s mental health, insisting he was “as sharp as ever.” “The reality is, that report, that part of the report does not live in reality. It just doesn’t. It is gratuitous. It is unacceptable, and it does not live in reality,” she commented after Robert Hur determined Biden was a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” who was unfit to stand trial. “We have released thorough reports from his medical team every year since he’s been in office. … As it relates to, you know, something like a cognitive test … the medical team said it is not warranted in this case. … We have put forward a thorough, transparent annual report on his health. So they have said that is not warranted. It is not necessary,” she insisted. When Trump demolished Biden during the debate that led to Kamala’s rise, Jean-Pierre insisted Biden merely had “a cold and a bad night.”
Independents frequently agree with policies from the GOP. That is not the stance of Jean-Pierre, who is merely switching her party affiliation to deter the ongoing backlash against the Biden Administration as new whistleblowers come forward every week. She identifies as an Independent, but she is from the same party that would permit someone to identify as a dog or a fish. This woman never belonged in politics and is a prime example of why DEI hires are never based on skill. Her departure is a reminder that no one wants to be affiliated with the deceased Democratic Party.

… And Director Gabbard may not know they exist.
If you have followed the construct of the Trump-Russia collusion story, you are likely outraged that accountability has not followed. There’s a very frustrating reason for that and I will explain how two distinctly different issues are being conflated. Separating them is the key.
The first issue is the FBI’s illegal surveillance of presidential candidates’, including candidate Donald Trump. The second issue is the Clinton campaign inspired Russia-Collusion story, that led to Crossfire Hurricane, colloquially known as “Russiagate.” All investigative emphasis, including John Durham, has been on the latter which takes you into a DC silo construct where all tentacles lead to dead ends and inaction.
Russiagate was a Clinton-inspired political smear campaign that was given the patina of credibility by the FBI opening the investigation called “Crossfire Hurricane.” If you focus on that storyline, you end up with zero accountability and endless talk that goes nowhere.
However, if President Trump and DNI Tulsi Gabbard reveal the first element, the FBI’s illegal surveillance of candidate Donald Trump, that path has a physical trail and documents that cannot be deflected by political obfuscation.
♦THE FBI SURVEILLANCE – The original agreement between Clinton and Obama going back to 2008 was for Obama to take the nomination, the presidency and then eventually support Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election bid.
Obama would be President. Obama would appoint Clinton to Secretary of State, Hillary would then use her office to build wealth for herself and her family, and then HRC would exit the Dept of State to begin her presidential run.
John Podesta would enter the Obama administration as Hillary left (post Benghazi mess) in 2013. Podesta would look out for Hillary’s interests from his position inside the Obama White House. The Clintons and Obamas never fully trusted each other.
Barack Obama would put all the mechanisms into place that would transition his administration into Hillary Clintons’. That was always the plan running in the background.
In 2015 Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had a check-in meeting; just touching base to firm up the goals and objectives as Hillary began her campaign launch. Podesta then left the White House to take up position inside the campaign, and Obama would maintain Clinton’s interests as planned without a monitor.
All of President Obama’s appointments in/after 2015, were essentially through the prism of assisting Hillary Clinton to win in 2016. Attorney General Loretta Lynch (tarmac meeting), Deputy AG Sally Yates, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and FBI Director James Comey were all part of that.
This is a key point missed by many. In the last two years of Obama, the cabinet and top-tier members of the administration would align their institutional interests to that of Hillary Clinton.
Technically Hillary had eyes and ears all over the White House at the time, and with Hillary Clinton being a foregone conclusion per the expectations of Washington DC, everyone would fall in line during the transition from Obama to Clinton.
Again, this was the general plan. Obama would show up in 2016 to campaign for Hillary and all would be seamless.
The FBI was aware of the plan for transition from Obama to Clinton. Hence, the FBI role in eliminating the threat later presented by the Hillary Clinton laptop scandal, private servers and the subsequent issues of her receiving and transmitting classified information.
Remember, Clinton’s motive as Secretary of State was to sell her position for material wealth. That’s why she used a personal email, maintained her own servers, and generally controlled how her activity could be monitored and tracked. [Also, she didn’t fully trust Obama]
The FBI activity was to support, defend and facilitate the Clinton effort. This is again a key to understanding “Russiagate.”
After March 2016 (Super Tuesday) it became obvious Donald Trump was going to win the Republican nomination. Trump would be Clinton’s opponent.
♦The surveillance – Using access to the NSA database, the U.S. Govt., specifically “FBI Contractors”, began doing political surveillance of Donald Trump’s campaign. This intel was then sent to the Clinton team. Clinton would benefit from knowing the communication inside the Trump campaign. All of that intel was in the metadata captured by the NSA and searched by the FBI contractors.
All of this activity was political surveillance, using govt resources to feed the Clinton team the info.
♦”RUSSIAGATE” – When the Clinton campaign launched the Russia Collusion dirty trick move against her opponent Donald Trump, originally using Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson, the role of the Obama administration was to facilitate the political hit, and at the very least not impede it. Hence, former CIA Director John Brennan briefing Barack Obama on the status of the Russia collusion hoax as it spread in 2016 via the Clinton campaign.
However, as a result of the circle of information, Obama had a problem. The sourcing of the intel could trace to the illegal FBI surveillance of the NSA database. That’s why they needed a plausible shift within the surveillance. That’s where the Carter Page FISA comes in.
Specifically because President Obama was, by extension, now a participant in the Clinton created “Russia Collusion hoax,” and specifically because his administration officials were participants in the process (DOJ, FBI), when President Trump won the 2016 election President Barack Obama was now exposed by the threat the operation represented. This context is the impetus for the January 5, 2017, meeting and subsequent Susan Rice memo.
Following the surprising result in the 2016 election, the team around Obama was constructing plausible deniability.
President Obama did not orchestrate the Russia Collusion hoax; he facilitated it by not interfering with his administration officials who were assisting Hillary Clinton. This is a key distinction.
President Obama knew what was going on and he was willfully blind as it was carried out. However, the mess and fallout from the effort his FBI and DOJ officials put into assisting Hillary Clinton eventually represented a threat to President Obama.
With an assist from pressuring allies in the legislative branch, Robert Mueller and all 19 of his Clinton-aligned Lawfare operatives were put into place to cover-up the mess created within the Russia Collusion operation. Mueller +19 Lawfare embeds continued the Crossfire Hurricane operation, while the extreme Lawfare strategy was deployed against the Trump administration.
That’s the short, encapsulated version.
The Russia Collusion hoax was created by Hillary Clinton, spread to media through Fusion GPS and given the patina of credibility by the DOJ and FBI. President Obama facilitated the operation by not interfering in it, until it became a threat to him personally.
Both the Obama and Clinton political teams supported and organized the Robert Mueller cover-up. All of this activity is because Hillary Clinton was supposed to win.
♦ Awakening the public. Among the information President Donald Trump has requested for declassification, there are two important document sets being overlooked.
#1 is the 2017 99-page opinion of FISA Court presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer covering 2016 FBI Contractor abuse of the NSA database. Tulsi Gabbard needs to get the unredacted version, read it and declassify it. [Yes, revealing the names of the actual FBI contractors]
#2 are the NSA “audit logs” which were preserved by NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers, as outlined in his testimony. Where does NSA store their audit logs?
Both document trails outline the FBI conducting political surveillance of the 2016 Republican Presidental nominee, Donald Trump.
This is the originating data that follows a parallel path in the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Both paths, (1) the FBI illegal political surveillance, and (2) the Clinton campaign Russia Collusion/Crossfire Hurricane investigation, intersect at the Carter Page FISA warrant, and merge together. However,it is important to see them as two distinctly different paths.
The illegal surveillance path was made legal retroactively by the FISA Warrant against Carter Page.
Investigating ‘Russiagate‘, as dirty and unseemly as it was, takes you to a place where politics infected the DOJ/FBI and every participant carries plausible deniability. However, investigate the 2016 illegal surveillance of Donald Trump’s campaign via the NSA database and all of that activity cannot be justified.
Focus on the FBI surveillance of the GOP in 2016, by focusing on how they exploited the NSA database.
As to the Audit Logs preserved by Director Rogers, there are two strong likelihoods:
#1) I suspect one of the workstations involved in the database searches will be identified as an FBI workstation in the DC Law Office of Perkins Coie.
#2) I suspect one of the workstations involved in the database searches will be located in the office of Samantha Power at the State Department; with a user id login designated to Power (but she may not have physically logged in).
Both #1 and #2 above are directly connected to Hillary Clinton. #1 was her campaign law firm, and #2 was her former office.
Bottom line. The FBI was conducting illegal political surveillance and funneling the results to the Clinton campaign. There is a document trail directly to this activity, and audit logs showing exactly who was doing it.

As the cognitive incapacity of Joe Biden gains increased scrutiny, it is well worth remembering the efforts of the team behind Joe Biden, which includes team Obama, went through in order to provide cover for the issue.
COVID and ‘social distancing’ provided the justification, but they built a stage because Joe Biden was always a Potemkin President:
Was Joe Biden really unaware that he had metastatic prostate cancer and unlikely to survive when his team announced his reelection?
Or is it more likely the plan was for Joe Biden to win in 2024, then reveal the cancer, step down and Kamala Harris would be installed.
The problem that cropped up in their ‘best laid plans’ was not the cancer in 2024, but rather the scale of the cognitive decline becoming more obvious…. and that led to a quick change in approach.
Everyone in DC knew.
No one in Washington DC did not know.
What exactly was in those “classified” files kept in Joe Biden’s garage and storage room at Penn?
Notice how we were never told what the “classified” information was all about?
Back in 2008, Senator Joe Biden was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In that position, Biden held oversight over the Dept of State.
In early 2008, the U.S. State Department had a data breach into the passport office, later discovered to have been carried out by John Brennans’ firm The Analysis Corp. {GO DEEP}. At the time of the State Dept breach John Brennan was working for the Obama campaign and the passport records accessed by his firm belonged to Barack Obama. [You decide what the motive was.]
As Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Joe Biden was intimately involved in the subsequent investigation. A few months after the investigation was triggered, Barack Obama announced Joe Biden would be the Vice-Presidential nominee.

There has been a lot of discussion about who was running the Biden administration against the backdrop of numerous revelations about his cognitive incapacity while in office. However, one key point keeps being overlooked about the DOJ during his tenure.
Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General. Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer. {GO DEEP}
As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick. Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with KBJ, who needed Senate confirmation as chief circuit justice, she could get through a later Senate confirmation easier and then sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years. Garland was removed to make room for KBJ. It was a strategy.
Garland was a U.S. Attorney General in name only. The actual lead of the DOJ was from Obama’s crew, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.
WHY?
Back in 2009 President Obama selected Eric Holder to be Attorney General. AG Holder’s role was to lead the Lawfare ‘fundamental transformation’ we have seen in the 16 years since. In the 2010 midterms, Obama was “shellacked,” that triggered AG Holder to ask the Treasury Department to participate in a “special research project.” {Go Deep}
The IRS was asked for the Schedule-B’s of groups who were registered as “patriot” groups (Tea Party Patriots) and other names associated with the political uprising against Barack Obama and the takeover of federal healthcare, ie Obamacare. The Cincinnati field office of the IRS then sent the DOJ a batch of CD-ROM’s containing the names of the individual donors listed on the IRS 501-c (3)(4) forms. That list was then compiled and used by the federal government to target the donors and supporters. A whistleblower came forward; the IRS controversy swirled in 2012.
On September 25, 2014, the Justice Department said Attorney General Eric Holder would resign as soon as his successor is confirmed. Holder was succeeded by Loretta Lynch on April 27, 2015. Lynch was selected because she was the bridge to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Remember the Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting? It’s all connected.
[Sidebar – the reporter who broke the story of the Arizona Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting later died from “suicide.”]
Summary so far: Obama appointed Holder to lead and create the weaponized Lawfare transition within Main Justice. Eric Holder did just that, and also created the DOJ-National Security Division (to use FARA investigations against DC operatives as leverage). Holder then left the DOJ, took the special research project data, and went to work in California. Loretta Lynch was then appointed as the transitional AG between Obama and Hillary Clinton. That was the plan. The DOJ/FBI would protect Clinton’s interests, and that’s exactly what they did in 2015 and 2016.
Eric Holder was then hired by the State of California right after the surprising and unexpected election result of 2016 [LINK]. Eric Holder then began constructing the BETA test for what was to come later. Eric Holder organized the motor-voter rolls in California to auto-register illegal alien voters. The California legislature passed a law permitting illegal aliens to get drivers licenses. Eric Holder’s program linked those drivers licenses automatically to voter registration. Do you remember the 2018 mid-term election in California?
For weeks after 2018 election day in California, the new process of mail-in ballots changed the entire election day outcome. California was the BETA test for the national 2020 mail-in ballot fraud system. It all links back to the California ballot and illegal alien voter registration operation carried out by Eric Holder.
Eric Holder was Obama’s weaponized Attorney General (2009-2015). Loretta Lynch was the Attorney General in place to facilitate the transition to Hillary Clinton (2015-2016). Merrick Garland was Biden’s Attorney General (2021) to pave the way for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice (2022). Lisa Monaco was the person running the day-to-day DOJ operations (2021-2025).
KBJ was put into the planning book back in February 2020, yes, 2020!
It was February 25th, 2020, to be precise, just four days before the South Carolina Democrat primary. South Carolina Representative James Clyburn went backstage at the presidential debate and told Biden, “You’ve had a couple of opportunities to mention naming a Black woman to the Supreme Court,” Clyburn lectured his friend of nearly half a century, like a schoolteacher scolding a child. “I’m telling you, don’t you leave the stage tonight without making it known that you will do that.” {link}
Unbeknownst to Biden at the time, just two days earlier Barack Obama and James Clyburn came to an agreement and created the most consequential alliance of the 2020 Democrat campaign. Barack Obama the figurative and ideological leader of the movement known as “Black Lives Matter”, and James Clyburn the figurative and ideological leader of the political construct within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, had struck a deal.
Obama and Clyburn really had no choice but to come to an agreement and form the alliance. If they did not act fast, Bernie Sanders was gaining momentum, and they could not have Sanders at the top of the 2020 ticket, because he was too outside the club system which was now almost exclusively focused on racial identity as a tool for political power.
A Bernie Sanders -vs- Donald Trump general election would have been a disaster; and it would be almost impossible for the racial operatives in the key precincts [Atlanta (GA), Philly (PA), Clark County (NV), Wayne County (Mich), Madison (WI)] to feel inspired enough to risk themselves and commit fraud to help Bernie win.
To get rid of Sanders, BLM and AME aligned. This was the actual moment when Hillary Clinton was cast into the pit of irrelevance in Democrat politics.
Within the agreement, Obama and Clyburn selected Biden as the tool they could easily control to deliver on their larger, progressive, leftist intentions.
A few days later, James Clyburn then endorsed Biden while Barack Obama began making phone calls telling each of the other candidates to drop out in sequence and support Biden or else the club would destroy them. The only one told not to drop out yet was Elizabeth Warren, as she would be needed as the insurance policy, the splitter against Bernie Sanders.
Each of the candidates was promised the traditional indulgences for toeing the party line, and the rest is history. Joe Biden wandered around doing what everyone told him to do, which was mostly stay in his basement and let the club work on his behalf, until the club delivered the nomination.
Inside that process, the strategic map was modified to ensure Ketanji Brown-Jackson would advance to the Supreme Court.
With Biden installed, he would select Merrick Garland as his Attorney General. Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court. Garland’s replacement would need to be a Senate confirmed seat for that Circuit Court assignment. Brown-Jackson would be put into Garland’s open spot, and the Senate could not deny her the SCOTUS confirmation, having just confirmed her months before. {Go Deep}
It was always the team around -and including- Barack Obama operating in the background of Biden.
