President-elect Trump won't get any help from the State Department in implementing Israeli-relation policies opposed by President Obama before his inauguration. "The short answer is no," State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters. "You have one president at a time."
Obama's team invoked that axiom to justify high-profile foreign policy actions in recent weeks, notably his decisions to sanction Russia over the election year cyberattacks and to allow the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israeli settlement construction.
Kirby's statement extended that principle to barring any aid in helping the Trump team prepare to move the United States embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem or recognize Jerusalem as the nation's capital.

Sure you can - unless you know you're guilty and too much of a coward to defend yourself in our court system.

Go Away! You don’t make a lick of sense. BTW Assange is an Australian citizen.
I view Assange as a patriot! You must be a never Trumper!
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Horrors, he'll have to wait 2 weeks to formulate plans to follow a 22 year old law. And he knows who the fire.
A patriot of what country?
Who cares what Obama’s State Department will or won’t do? The freaks will be gone in two weeks. The traitors are phasing into irrelevancy. ‘Bye!
Trump is making it a point to distance himself from the execrable Assange.
You may want to take the hint.
One was murdered in Israel less than a year ago: Taylor Force, US Army veteran, West Point '09 served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was enrolled at Vanderbilt and doing graduate studies in Israel at the time. His murder was praised by Hamas. Force's wife was stabbed also but she lived, I believe. Let's all get on the same side and kick terrorist ass.
I was a foreign service specialist handling IT until five years ago... the stories I won’t tell:)
Having served in the AmEmbassy Tel Aviv 11-years prior, there has always been active hallway talk that the it would be moved to J-rue.
What did you think of it?
I thought it was very well done. Joseph Gordon Levitt is great. You should check out the movie 50/50.
I saw it twice. Back to Snowden, I was simply loving ending when the real Edward Snowden appeared and said a few words. Shows you how spot on Gordon Levitt’s characterizations were in terms of elocution and body language. Was 50-50 based on a true story as well?
Completely agree.
I wouldn't expect anything less. On Jan. 20, Trump tells them what to do and until then, it is Obama.
Why is that so hard to understand. Trump is not yet president.
Had you read beyond the first paragraph, you would have noted that the spokesperson extended his statements include assistance to the incoming administration withe respect to formulating policies. Smooth transition, indeed.
