Donald Trump’s refusal to concede sparks transition sabotage fears
The Guardian ^ | Nov 9, 2020 | Tom McCarthy

Posted on 11/09/2020 5:14:16 AM PST by where's_the_Outrage?

Donald Trump’s refusal to acknowledge his loss in the 2020 election has fed concerns that the presidential transition would be sabotaged, as a Trump appointee refused to sign off on funding for the transition and the Trump campaign announced an expanded legal strategy in a quest to reverse the election result....

Trump’s legal strategy has gained zero traction so far, with judges throwing cases out of court for lack of evidence, and there was no indication that any new strategy would fare any differently. The Trump campaign has set up a “voter fraud hotline”, but instead of hot tips, aides taking phone calls and emails have been subjected to a barrage of pranks from “lefty teenagers” and received “disturbing unsolicited adult images,” Axios said.....

IN ANY CASE, the Democrats slow walked nearly every critical appointment that Trump was required to make for his first 4 years!

Trump, if the election is finally STOLEN, should offer ZERO help. In fact, he should make it a brutal transition.

The should not be and will not be a “transition”. These criminals cheated. Their perfidy is obvious to all. Their only “transition” that I would support would be to GITMO for waterboarding. They must be crushed. The Republic must be saved.

Could be worst. Trump could be using this time to setup a coup. No transition. This doesn’t end until January. Let’s see where we’re T then

Sabotage? How about having federal law enforcement agencies spy on the new incoming Biden administration?

gasp, maybe Trump will unveil a plan to undermine Biden by spying on him,releasing a fake dossier, and spreading rumors about foreign interference.

“Donald Trump’s refusal to acknowledge his loss in the 2020 election”

So when Gore contested the 2000 election for 37 days, that was Otay!

That's the least of it, bucky. Expect AMERICA to be sabotaged, BY THE VERY PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT WORK.

From the article: “with judges throwing cases out of court for lack of evidence,”

Really? That statement is total BS!!!!!!

Name one lawsuit thrown out. To the best of my knowledge, they were not supposed to be filed until today, and none have surfaced yet.

Near as I can figure it, Team Trump is still in the evidence and strategy stages. If they prematurely go off half cocked, then a case could be thrown out. Just let them do their job.

Transition sabotage fears? Would transition sabotage involve something like stacking the agencies top to bottom with “woke” “resistance” apparatchiks recently converted from political appointees to “career” staff, spying on the incoming actual President-elect (and his staff), trying to blackmail him with vulgar filth produced in conjunction with his opponent's campaign (and Russian agents), announcing that anyone who works for him will be blacklisted, staging repeated coup attempts, and using your loyal partisans in the agencies to slow-walk and undermine every new policy? Just wondering.
