Another theory. PA is the keystone. It is heavily PA National Guard in DC right now (along with others) PA, in that sense is vindicated in the end, or gets its justice. (Just not the way we thought, i.e. elector change) Ok, ravings of a tired man.
Ohio Gov Deswine is sending some to DC and some in Ohio.
None of the ‘pubbie house rep betrayers for peach mint were from PA.
I’m still holding on keystone=Senior Executive Service (SES).
Yesterday (1.13) the State Department canceled all off-CONUS travel until after the inauguration.
Prep for the Admin change?
Maybe...but,
That halt included a visit to Brussels by Pompeo, the Duly Appointed and Consented to BOSS of the State Department.
Imagine how much stroke the /employees/ have to be able to do this?
The State Department is Clown Central for the SES who believe themselves to be the face (true representation of government) of the United States over seas.
These ARE the shadow government.
That position cannot be allowed to be changed by SecState prior to the incoming “friendly” new-boss.
Recall that Obama made it mucho difficult to remove the higher levels of the SES as he left office.
