White House Instructs Agencies to Ignore Biden’s Transition Team Until Trump Accepts Defeat, Says Report

Leaders at agencies across the federal government have been instructed not to cooperate with Joe Biden’s transition team until President Donald Trump finally accepts that he’s lost the election, The Washington Post reports. The report states agencies have been told to ignore communications from Biden’s team until his victory is confirmed by the General Services Administration—an agency that, in normal times, signs the paperwork to start the transition, but its Trump-appointed leader has so far refused to do so. One senior administration official told the newspaper: “We have been told: Ignore the media, wait for it to be official from the government.” On Monday, a Biden transition official said legal action is “certainly a possibility” when asked how they plan to resolve the obstruction.

4. The Media needs to report on Biden's transition Team and whatever else he has planned

5. I suppose The Velveeta Voldemort doesn't recall saying this at his inauguration:

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

I hate him. He is repellent. He and his grifter family will be shunned and consigned to the dustbin of history.

6. Trump is embarrassing himself and everyone in his admin

They are only making things worse for themselves. Every hour that passes makes his loss more painful and devastating to his legacy (and their future job prospects). No one wants to hire an idiot complicit with all this self-damaging chaos.

7. Anyone who is surprised by this hasn't been paying attention

Cheeto will drag it out to the bitter end. Biden's team will get access on Jan 20 and not one minute before unless they find some way to force it.

10. "Until he accepts defeat"

That could be never. Apparently, Biden is going to need to get the Courts involved or he may not be able to start transitioning until January, although the Electors will still certify in December and I doubt that there will be any surprises.

11. Biden needs to be real careful of the Trump landmines he's going to be leaving around....

and yeah.... Trump is cleaning the house of corruption trails....

14. Look at the insanity of this sentence:

"Leaders at agencies across the federal government have been instructed not to cooperate with Joe Biden’s transition team until President Donald Trump finally accepts that he’s lost the election..."

What kind of world is this craziness acceptable?

The man has had a psychotic break and he belongs in a psychiatric hospital.
