Trump's not accepting the results of the election now has the current C.D.C. blocking Joe Biden

(39,332 posts)He can do it now. We need him to speak to Americans directly and reject Trump's bs.

(2,227 posts)If he won't it is because he has relinquished that power to the turd.
He has done this repeatedly, which is why I am not as enamored with him as most are.

(12,410 posts)Will he impound their cars so that they cant meet?
Perhaps cut off all internet and phone service?
Send some goons out to their homes to work them both over?
Or perhaps the big guns... Giuliani and Barr on horseback meet up with Joe and Fauci at the OK Coral?

(32,097 posts)Who also sits on the Senate Intelligence Committee, and gets intelligence briefings. They may be keeping Biden out of the loop, but his VP is still in it as long as she remains a Senator. The same goes for any Democrat on any related committee in both the House and the Senate.

(65,251 posts)As VP, wouldn't Biden had have the highest security clearing.
If so, Ms. Harris could tell him anything, because it's not revealing a secret to someone who's cleared to know everything.
Do those clearances expire?

(32,097 posts)as President-elect, he has regained it. He is entitled to all national security information, regardless of whether or not the sore-loser manbaby allows him access to it. This game Trump is playing is idiotic, because Biden will get much of the information, regardless. He'll just be getting it through the backdoor, via others with access. Like his running mate/VP-elect. The same goes for communications with Dr. Fauci. I have no doubt the doctors on his pandemic task force speak regularly with him, even if Biden is allegedly blocked from doing so. (I am skeptical that of this allegation, although it is not something I would put past Trump.)

(65,251 posts)So, if Fauci talks to Harris, as a senator, he's really talking to Biden, too.
IOW, they really aren't stopping anything.
Figures. Another failure.

(32,097 posts)That assclown who heads GSA (Emily Murphy) is holding them up. None of what they're doing will prevent the transition, but it hinders President-Elect Biden from hitting the streets running on a lot of things. Which will hurt the country far more than it does Biden. Fucking fuckers.
ProfessorGAC
(65,251 posts)I've got an idea.
Rent space in PINO's DC hotel, hold transition activities over several floors, then after the inauguration, tell them to call Murphy. She'll pay the bill.

(108,304 posts)Dr. Anthony Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and leading coronavirus expert in the US, said Sunday that it would be "better" for public health if he and other health officials could begin working with the president-elect's transition team.
"I've been through multiple transitions now having served six presidents for 36 years, and it's very clear that transition process we go through that time period measured in several weeks to months is really important in a smooth handing over of the information," Fauci said during an appearance Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."
Fauci said the Trump administration's cooperation with President-elect Joe Biden's transition team in the coming months would "make things [go] more smoothly" as the US continues to face the coronavirus pandemic.
"It's almost like passing the baton in a race," Fauci said. "You don't want to stop and give it to somebody, you want to keep things going. That's what transition is. So it certainly would make things more smoothly if we could do that."

Trump could be pissed at Faucci as well as Biden.
