Shadow govt is speculation at this point.
You can definitively as a fact say there are un-elected positions within the US govt that have as much or more power as the elected positions. The US population cannot monitor, fire, approve, and even have visibility into what they do. They can hold their positions for decades.
A "shadow government" consisting of 75 or more senior officials has been living and working secretly outside Washington since Sept. 11 in case the nation's capital is crippled by terrorist attack. "This is serious business," President Bush said of plans to ensure the continuity of government.
Such an operation was conceived as a Cold War precaution against nuclear attack during the Eisenhower administration but never used until now. It went into effect in the first hours after the terror attacks and has evolved over time, said senior government officials who provided details of the plan........
Under the classified "Continuity of Operations Plan," which was first reported by The Washington Post in its Friday editions, high-ranking officials representing their departments have begun rotating in and out of the assignment at one of two fortified locations along the East Coast.

When Trump was in office, who in DC did NOT hate him?
I take it everybody did, and still does because he goes against their narratives and agendas.
Remember, remember the fraud in November.

You're quite right. people confuse corporations, lobbyists etc. as the shadow government when they are just minor operators. The real shadow government are the unelected bureaucrats, the civil servants, the people behind those who you vote for. No matter which party gets into power they never change, they are in for life. And the power they can wield is beyond comprehension. A word here, a word there is nothing to be sniffed at.
