It was actually the Clintonistas that started it in 2001 when they realized they weren’t going to have a President Al Gore running interference for their crimes.
So they did everything they could to slow the transition, including petty things like ripping the “W” off of every keyboard in the WH.
In 2001 it was just childish action of some stupid staffers.
(Makes one wonder, about the idiots in charge?!)
2017 was an orchestrated insurrection by the top echelons.
Those people were in charge, they were the tops!
