'No transition in place': Biden team on hold Waiting for election to be 'ascertained'(Clarification!?)

While establishment media have declared Joe Biden to be the president-elect, there will be "no transition" until the General Services Administration certifies the election results.

That's the word from the acting deputy administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, John Barsa.

"You should be aware, the only official announcement about an election result that matters is from the head of GSA, so until the head of GSA makes a determination as to who won an election, nothing changes," he told his colleagues Monday, according to a recording of the call obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Biden's team said in a statement: "Now that the election has been independently called for Joe Biden, we look forward to the GSA administrator quickly ascertaining Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the president-elect and vice president-elect. America’s national security and economic interests depend on the federal government signaling clearly and swiftly that the United States government will respect the will of the American people and engage in a smooth and peaceful transfer of power."

However, it's the news media "independently" declaring Biden the victor.

For clarification/edification. Share with your friends who KNOW joe is the winner already. Kinda not yet. This may be a repeat from another post but it can't hurt. No search results. I know someone will let me know. Bueller?

The same players who convinced the weak minded that the WuFluCoup was DEADLY are now convincing them that Pedo Joe is POTUS.

See how this works?

Isn’t Biden’s statement forgetting something?

Like the Electoral College?

That may be our last, best hope.

biden team considering ‘legal action’ supposedly

“Joe Biden’s team is considering legal action over the ongoing refusal to grant the president-elect a formal transition into the White House, according to reports.

Amid President Trump’s declining to concede the election, the federal agency needed to green-light his transition has also held back from declaring him the victor — a move usually made within 24 hours.

The delay by the General Services Administration (GSA) freezes the Biden team out of access to $6.3 million in federal funding, classified information and security clearances or background checks for potential cabinet nominees, Axios noted. It also prevents access to the State Department, which facilitates calls between foreign leaders, Fox News said.”

Biden is not President Elect yet he needs to stop with the transition talk. Gore had 37 days to cheat, the President is trying to follow up on evidence.

Following rules and laws is NOT something they are familiar with. And they are not happy. Which in turn makes me happy.

“’Now that the election has been independently called for Joe Biden, we look forward to the GSA administrator quickly ascertaining Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the president-elect and vice president-elect.’”

In other words, bypass next month’s elector vote and get on with it right now.

What happens if the result of the election is unclear? The law provides that an eligible candidate has the right to the facilities and services provided to eligible candidates until the date on which the Administrator is able to determine the apparent successful candidates for the office of president and vice president.

Biden has had Presidential Transition support from the GSA since well before the election, and will continue to receive that same level of support until the election is resolved.

Bluster is all that is. He's trying to appear tough.

Bluster from an a$$hole is nothing more than a fart. (I hope I don't get zotted for vulgarity.) :-)

I don't keep any friends who vote left. I never associate with lefties anymore, at all. Don't want them near me.

Seriously.

From the same link:

What is the Role of the General Services Administration?

The Act requires GSA to provide office space and administrative support (such as information technology and communications capabilities) to a president-elect and vice president-elect and, recognizing a growing need for transition activities to start well before election day, the Act also requires GSA to offer office space and support to major candidates in the months preceding the election, following the political conventions. In the post-election period, GSA is also authorized to pay expenses for staff, experts, postage, and travel for the transition team of the president-elect, if the president-elect is not a president who has been re-elected. Use of government aircraft also may be provided on a reimbursable basis.

In my experience (I participated as an IT contractor in the 1992 transition), preparations for a possible transition are made weeks (months) ahead of time.

In 1992, my chief engineer and I sat in a bar across the street from transition headquarters drinking, waiting for the word from the GSA Administrator. When he decided there was enough information to call the election, we were paged by the GS-14 in charge, and we paid our tab, walked across Vermont Ave, and went to work executing the plan that had been previously prepared.

I guess no one got that call last Tuesday night, or will get the call anytime soon.
