Who Are the Advisors Who Circle a Confused President? by Lawrence Kadish  •  October 4, 2021 at 3:45 pm       Published reports reveal that John Podesta, Bill Clinton's former chief of staff and senior counselor to Barack Obama, has sent a memo to every Democratic Congressman reminding them the party "must unite and act together" to pass Biden's "infrastructure" agenda. Podesta, according to an email released from Wikileaks, was also previously approached by an advisor to Dominion Voting Systems who was "offering 'anything' that might defeat Trump." What was the advisor to the voting machines company offering? Podesta's older brother, Tony, was a long time mega Democratic lobbyist and fund raiser. His lobbying career has been resurrected with a New York Times report that the embattled Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei has hired Podesta.

The last Tsar of Russia depended on Grigori Rasputin, a self-declared mystic and holy man who ministered to the ailing son of Nicolas II while providing the "Supreme Ruler of the Russians" with advice and counsel. And just who counsels President Joseph Biden? Continue Reading Article
