<p>The book “Original Sin. President Biden&#8217;s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again” by CNN’s Chuck Todd and Axios’ Alex Thompson unveils the years-long massive cover-up of President Biden’s physical and mental debilities going back to the campaign of 2020. By the time Biden was closing out his presidency, he was not competent intellectually or physically to carry out the daily duties of the presidency. In fact, he was arguably unfit to perform any job. The evidence and observations of those who interacted with Biden throughout his presidency testify to that.</p>



<p>To a remarkable extent, Biden’s condition was concealed from the American people by a cabal of insiders who (1) deceived the public and (2) inappropriately assumed the reins of government. ; The conspiracy had two factions &#8212; those who were personally aware of Biden’s condition and took extreme means to cover it up and those who believed the lies &#8212; or chose to spread them for political reasons.</p>



<p>No one person was more central to deceiving the public than White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre – although her predecessor, Jen Psaki, is a close second. Jean-Pierre was the political oracle who lied &#8230; lied &#8230; and lied &#8230; even as the facts became more apparent. She was the official spokesperson promulgating the lies at press briefings on almost a daily basis. Her predecessor, Jen Psaki, also lied – but she was fortunate to get out before the cover-up started to unravel in the headlines.</p>



<p>Like many in the inner circle, Jean-Pierre said that she had regular access to Biden. By her own claims, she met with him on a regular basis to discuss the issues. Or did she? Did she actually meet with Biden regularly – or did she meet with the top staffer to strategize how to handle questions about the President’s deteriorating condition? The Todd/Thompson book suggests the latter. One way or the other, Jean-Pierre would have known of Biden’s obvious mental decline.</p>



<p>More than anyone, Jean-Pierre was the chief messenger of the lies – of the cover-up. ; She stood at the White House press room podium and repeatedly assured the press and the American people that concerns about Biden’s condition were unwarranted – merely the product of political skullduggery. ; She claimed that those damning videos were “cheap fakes”. ; ; She made bogus excuses for Biden avoiding public appearances and press conferences. ; All lies.</p>



<p>When Biden revealed himself to the public during the debate, Jean-Pierre blamed it on his busy schedule and a touch of the flu. ; She knowingly lied.</p>



<p>Jean-Pierre not only said that Biden was “okay”, she described him as some sort of super senior – claiming that the staff could hardly keep up with him. ; When pushed by FOX News White House reporter Peter Doocy, she responded with “I know that is YOUR narrative.” ; Or&#8230; she should just refuse to answer.</p>



<p>Even after Biden had withdrawn, Jean-Pierre responded to a Doocy question with, &#8220;First of all, there&#8217;s been no cover-up. I want to be very clear about that.&#8221; She knew better because she was a key player in the cover-up. ; No one attested to Biden’s fitness in public more than Jean-Pierre. ; She was the Liar-in-Chief.</p>



<p>There was a time the press would take great umbrage with a White House press secretary telling bald-faced lies. In fact, President Nixon’s one time press secretary, Ron Zeigler, was forced out for lying about the Watergate burglary. The same fate befell Trump’s initial press secretary, Sean Spicer, who developed an immediate credibility problem by making false claims. Because of the media bias, however, the contemporary members of the Fourth Estate not only accepted the lies from Jean-Pierre, but they reported them as factual – even those who knew better. The only exceptions were the more conservative media outlets – and they were vilified by the left-wing establishment.</p>



<p>The fact that the nation made it through the Biden presidency without a catastrophic event (unless you count Afghanistan, the Ukraine War, the attack on Israel, record inflation, and a full blown border crisis) does not mitigate the seriousness of the cover-up – or the need for accountability. We do not know what would have been different if Biden were of sound mind and he was calling the shots.</p>



<p>To appreciate the scope of the conspiracy and cover-up, one only need recall that about a year ago, a Justice Department special counsel Robeert Hur, determined that Biden was unfit even to stand trial. It may not be an insanity plea, but it is pretty close. Hur was excoriated by the conspirators – including Vice President Harris – but Hur was right.</p>



<p>There are calls for accountability for those who engaged in the conspiracy and cover-up. ; I am not sure what accountability would look like at this stage. ; But if there is to be accountability, Jean-Pierre should be the first in line.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Karine Jean-Pierre key to the cover-up … and so was Jen Psaki
