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

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.....

"Zero Traction" as in the SCOTUS order to keep PA ballots separate?

Gore didn’t concede either. It took 37 days to nail the pr***.

This is insane. They’re already treating Biden as if he’s the President and some states haven’t even finished counting, there are numerous court cases being filed, other states are doing audits...it was 37 days before Gore had to admit defeat, and during that time, the media did not “call” the election for Bush.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think Hillary Clinton ever conceded. Or I’d she did, it wasn’t for quite some time.

If Trump is forced out, I hope he releases the FBI files on Biden, Obama and the Clintons and all their groupies on the way out. Even if they can be prosecuted at least tell the world what they’ve done.

Transition Sabotage! lmao, what do they think the last 4yrs have been? Notice that there have been no riots since MSM “Projected” their desired outcome? Proof that Conservatives are not the animals our counterparts have proven they are.

We stopped having peaceful transitions in 2016. Get over it.

“Gore didn’t concede either.”

Not true, Gore did concede on election night, but then un-conceded.

NECK AND NECK / Gore concedes to Bush, then reverses himself as Florida race tightens up

So we can see exactly how “important” conceding is...not at all.

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

Um, Trump won. The Guardian is getting into a panic over the massive ballot fraud being exposed.

The Trump campaign has set up a “voter fraud hotline”, but instead of hot tips, aides taking phone calls and emails

Here ya go.

Transition sabotage? Oh yeah, like what the Clinton people did when Algor lost and Bush was moving in.

Even the WSJ had a gushing headline about the glorious Biden today. They have a conservative editorial dept but Millenial liberal news pages.
