A Trump administration appointee is refusing to sign a letter allowing President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team to formally begin its work this week, in another sign the incumbent president has not acknowledged Biden’s victory and could disrupt the transfer of power.
The administrator of the General Services Administration, the low-profile agency in charge of federal buildings, has a little-known role when a new president is elected: to sign paperwork officially turning over millions of dollars, as well as giving access to government officials, office space and equipment authorized for the taxpayer-funded transition teams of the winner.
It amounts to a formal declaration by the federal government, outside of the media, of the winner of the presidential race.
But by Sunday evening, almost 36 hours after media outlets projected Biden as the winner, GSA Administrator Emily Murphy had written no such letter. And the Trump administration, in keeping with the president’s failure to concede the election, has no immediate plans to sign one. This could lead to the first transition delay in modern history, except in 2000, when the Supreme Court decided a recount dispute between Al Gore and George W. Bush in December.
“An ascertainment has not yet been made,” Pamela Pennington, a spokeswoman for GSA, said in an email, “and its Administrator will continue to abide by, and fulfill, all requirements under the law.”
The GSA statement left experts on federal transitions to wonder when the White House expects the handoff from one administration to the next to begin — when the president has exhausted his legal avenues to fight the results, or the formal vote of the electoral college on Dec. 14? There are 74 days, as of Sunday, until the Biden inauguration on Jan. 20...

i dont recall mediass demanding algore conced after 36 hours
The Associated Press doesn’t call the election result.
Any administration official seeking to give aid and comfort to the enemy should be removed from their office immediately.
There will be some—count on it.
Yje Trump administration has secretly initiated Operation Vengeful Hurricane Crossfire.
FISA warrants have been secret;y issued to search the Biden Bubker in Derlaware and unmask rge wide international Biden network involving influence peddling payments, child traffiking, chiuld porn , money laundering etc. This is not oppposition research based, it was publ;ished by the New York Post/
So the transition will be a path to actually exposing the collusion of Joe Biden with Red China, so that he will be disqualified as president.
If Biden ever takes ofice, he will be impeached within 6 months.
Operation Vengeful crossfire Hurricane.
What a wonderful transition.
You are correct.
The mass media is authorized to determine the official result of the Presidential Election under Article 666 of the United States Constitution.
:-(
and in algores case it was just pne state
here we have seven or more with serious fraud issues
Congress and Trump have to agree to the 20-21 budget deal by Dec 10, or Gov’t again shuts down. Trump should push for full Wall funding with irrevocable contracts, or no budget deal.
Fact: There was NO peaceful transition of power from Obama/Biden to Trump/Pence.
NONE.
What they did was SPY on President Elect Trump and start a coup.
I don't see why President Trump doesn't do the same things. After all, the Democrats got away with it ...
The media may wish it so but that doesn’t mean it is so.
All the gazillionaires will support Dewey-Eyed Joe until Fed funding can be earned. And he has a huge slate on his side ready to roll and tell him what to do. Unlike Trump who had no cadre ready and as being blocked at every possible site. And deep state leaks will give Biden’s puppeteers all the information they truly need for transition.
Oh I dont think theres going to be any “Biden inauguration on Jan 20”
So stop worrying Zippy you’ll get all frowny lines..
Murphy’s Law rules the universe. Live with it!
I hope Biden isn’t receiving any intelligence briefings.
In other words the kook activist writer means "This IS NOT the first transition delay in modern history, because there was one in 2000..."
Maybe they have advised him that 5 million ballots marked for him were printed in China, and that they were tracked to the battleground states, how many were delivered for 4 am counting, and where they were delivered.
Russia Russia Russia
(1) I thought it was Dec. 14? and (2) Worry not. The attorneys assembled by Pres. Trump are skilled and experienced. This type of thing is what they do for a living.
Hold fast. Pray. Do your level best to keep the faith.
Did the Clinton Admin give the Bush Admin any money????
I AM SURE THEY DID NOT!!!
Go away, Biden, et al. IF your time comes, I’m sure you will get your silver.
