Ja att den Djupa Staten finns kvar i Tech-jättarna och att de försvarar sig för att undvika att få bära konsekvenserna av sina handlingar , kan nog inte ses som någon så där väldigt anmärkningsvärd iakttagelse.
Joe Biden hasn't even set foot in the White House yet, but already he's assembled a group of big tech executives from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon on his transition team.
The move comes just months after Biden stated he disagreed with how friendly the Obama administration became with Silicon Valley, and referred to tech executives as 'little creeps' who displayed an 'overwhelming arrogance.'
Despite his comments, internet companies have also been among his campaign’s top 10 donors, and now he's assembling a team of their top executives to help influence his administration's direction.
Executives from Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are taking on top roles in Biden's agency review teams responsible for the Office of Management and Budget, Department of Treasury and the National Security Council.
A Biden transition team spokesman said agency review teams are responsible for evaluating the operations of the federal agencies and making sure the Biden-Harris administration can achieve policy goals discussed during the campaign.
The move comes as tech companies try to strengthen their relationship with a likely Biden administration to ensure they have a voice in an onslaught of federal and state investigations of their business practices.
