Report: Pentagon Halts Briefings for Joe Biden’s Transition Team
MenRec ^ | 12/21/20 | Rusty

In a move that reportedly “shocked” Defense Department officials, Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered Pentagon officials to cancel scheduled meetings with the transition of President-elect Joe Biden.

Axios revealed the cancellation of briefings but noted “officials were unsure what prompted Miller’s action” and they could not determine “whether President Trump approved” of the move.

A source at the Defense Department claims the move was nothing more than one of trying to limit a busy schedule.

...

With this move, however, Miller has reportedly left officials across the department “stunned.”

“Miller’s move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration,” they write.

...

Several “MAGA leaders” have been called out by the media for suggesting Trump invoke the Insurrection Act, something the President has never said he would do.

Politico writes that the Insurrection Act can be used to deploy troops to suppress domestic uprisings. They add it is not meant to overturn elections.

“But that hasn’t stopped the act from becoming a buzzword and cure-all for prominent MAGA figures like Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, two prominent pro-Trump attorneys leading efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and even one North Carolina state lawmaker,” they claim.

more than a week ago. They are not to have any information which will be immediately shared with their Chinese Communist networks of 5th column supporters- chinese nationals and criminal demonrats. To include Swallwell, and Sen. Warner, and... Adam Schiff.

I hear the pentagon was working with them, but handed them some intel that was incorrect. That intel wound up in some CCP intel brief not 24hrs later. That’s when SeDef lowered the boom on Biden’s Team.
