A Trump administration appointee is refusing to sign a letter allowing President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team to formally begin its work this week, in another sign the incumbent president has not acknowledged Biden’s victory and could disrupt the transfer of power.
The administrator of the General Services Administration, the low-profile agency in charge of federal buildings, has a little-known role when a new president is elected: to sign paperwork officially turning over millions of dollars, as well as giving access to government officials, office space and equipment authorized for the taxpayer-funded transition teams of the winner.
It amounts to a formal declaration by the federal government, outside of the media, of the winner of the presidential race.
But by Sunday evening, almost 36 hours after media outlets projected Biden as the winner, GSA Administrator Emily Murphy had written no such letter. And the Trump administration, in keeping with the president’s failure to concede the election, has no immediate plans to sign one. This could lead to the first transition delay in modern history, except in 2000, when the Supreme Court decided a recount dispute between Al Gore and George W. Bush in December.
“An ascertainment has not yet been made,” Pamela Pennington, a spokeswoman for GSA, said in an email, “and its Administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law.”

Let former VP Biden attempt to begin formal transition without lawful certification of the election and Pres. Trump should respond with the full force of the law to arrest, detain and indict candidate Biden and all those supporting his insurrection... unlawful usurpation of the government.
Right on. That's probably what Trump is doing. He is giving Biden enough rope to hang himself. Trump is always ten chess moves ahead. I look forward to Trump II.
Well, let's hope that Biden uses that rope soon because the clock is ticking on certification of the Electors... and in the worst-case scenario the House of Representatives could be the determining agency for our next President. It appears that the President is taking advice from the same sources that have successfully avoided prosecution of the Deep State for nearly 4yrs... now they are setting the President up for a fall if they fail to EXPEDITE the SCOTUS hearing on the election results.
What I don't get is this. Trump has seen the evidence, he says it's the worst in the history of the United States, and yet, there is no successful indictment. Why not? Sometimes I'm afraid that the overwhelming evidence of voter and election fraud won't lead anywhere, either. What's going on here?
What's going on.... the AG is obstructing justice or Trump is lying. If there is an abundance of evidence proving criminal acts the AG is required by law to present it to a sitting Grand Jury for indictment. If no indictments are being made, then the AG is either failing to present the evidence of criminal conduct OR.. the DOJ prosecutors are failing to present the evidence in a manner sufficient to convince the Grand Jury to find probable cause exists that a crime was committed and to issue an indictment. In any case, it is the AG that is responsible for prosecuting criminal conduct, and if the President is not lying about the evidence the lack of indictments is problematic and points to a corrupt AG and DOJ.
The AG and DOJ are the problem then, since Trump doesn't lie. How did these traitors end up in their positions today? Why did they get hired or not fired?
How did the AG and Dir of the FBI end up where they are... how about BAD ADVICE being given to the President... a quick review of the AG and DIrectors political history clearly places both in the DEEP STATE OPERATIVES category. There must be huge political pressure being used to keep them there as Pres. Trump is not ignorant of their past or their history of obstruction in his administration.
You are basically saying that the deep state is so entrenched that the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, elections, the courts, etc cannot be trusted. Trump brought it out into the open and let us and the world know that the US is a failed state despite its appearance as a super power. We the people are grateful that Trump tells us the truth and tells us what the US is really all about. He shows us clearly and honestly that the US is doomed. @
Where is the AG and FBI... any attempt to subvert the Government is a crime. The early and contested assertion that the Biden Ticket won the election flies in the face of due process and the law. If Biden and his campaign attempt to usurp transition privileges and power they should be held criminally accountable.
The election is a fraud and we must fight don't look for any help from the media
