Scoop: Pentagon halts Biden transition briefings
Axios.com ^ | 12/18/2020 | JD Rucker

Posted on 12/18/2020 8:18:21 AM PST by Beave Meister

Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios.

Behind the scenes: A top Biden official was unaware of the directive. Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause. The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved.

Why it matters: 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.

What happened: Meetings between President Trump's team and the Biden team are going on throughout the government, after a delayed start as the administration dragged its feet on officially recognizing Biden as president-elect.

Interesting and unexpected. Maybe nothing, maybe something significant. Bears watching.

How in the world can top-secret intel be shared with a crooked, compromised, (barely) walking, talking security risk like Biden?! Plus there seems to be a lot of activity behind the scenes . . . troop and equipment movement, call-ups, etc. If something’s coming, it mustn’t be shared with leakers, attention seekers and America haters.

Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon

Q: Why is it so easy for the Pentagon to get "stunned"?

A: Obama holdovers.

Yup. Like prepping for EO, martial law, and getting the cells ready at GTMO.

Didn’t they close all comments a few months back, basically because of that, even if unstated?

They sometimes open up comments on say, sports. I saw the James Harden stories and they have comments for some of them. They close it only when someone says MAGA or something lol

Give USCCP Biden all your military info? What kind of morons would do such? Is USA this gone?

Apparently there are some USAians left in DC. Biden needs to be hung like so many DCians.
