While vowing to continue election legal challenges, President Donald Trump has directed his administration to start the official transition process for former Vice President Joe Biden.
...fight, and I believe we will prevail! Nevertheless, in the best interest of our Country, I am recommending that Emily and her team do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols, and have told my team to do the same. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 23, 2020
On Monday afternoon, U.S. General Services Administrator Emily Murphy wrote a letter to Biden announcing she would make transition resources available to his team.
"As the Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration, I have the ability under the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, as amended, to make certain post-election resources and services available to assist in the event of a presidential transition...I take this role seriously and, because of recent developments involving legal challenges and certifications of election results, am transmitting this letter today to make those resources and services available to you," she wrote to Biden.
"As you know, the GSA Administrator does not pick or certify the winner of a presidential election. Instead, the GSA Administrator's role under the Act is extremely narrow: to make resources and services available in connection with a presidential transition," she continued. "The actual winner of the presidential election will be determined by the electoral process detailed in the Constitution."
More than $7 million in GSA funds will now be available to the Biden team.
According to Murphy, her decision to delay resources to the Biden team until legal challenges over the election became more clear was met with threats and intimidation.
"I have dedicated much of my adult life to public service, and I have always strived to do what is right. Please know that I came to my decision independently, based on the law and available facts. I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official -- including those who work at the White House of GSA -- with regard to the substance or timing of my decision. To be clear, I did not receive any direction to delay my determination," Murphy continued. "I did, however, receive threats online, by phone, and by mail directed at my safety, my family, my staff, and even my pets in an effort to coerce me into making this determination prematurely. Even in the face of thousands of threats, I always remained committed to upholding the law."
Bunch of pussies around here, accusing Trump of throwing in the towel. They’re the ones who did that.
With all the cheating its going to be more than four.
On my local news I saw that in my state they are pushing for mail voting.
This is nothing of the sort.
Biden is going to transition into a “female”.
Knock it off! no one threw in anything. This information has been posted here from various sources at least five times.
The President allowed Emily (GSA) the go ahead to open the Biden (how awful) Transition office because her family was being harassed by the Left.
I guess we better hope the leftist don’t steal both GA senate seats...or we’re screwed.
I would not be surprised if the First Lady asked him to give up.
Trump didn’t want this lady to be bullied. We’re living in a mafia America.

GSA ended up waiting until December 14, 2000, to turn over the keys and funds—after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Republicans and Democratic candidate Al Gore had conceded.
How many times will this be posted? That’s anybody’s guess.
Yesterday the firing of Sidney Powell was posted at least 10 different times. Different sources, different links but basically the same old news.
Free Republic has become a dumping ground for duplicate news, vanities and blogs. Oh yes. Don’t forget the BOOM threads.
Most of the people on free republic are really smart and quite reasonable and realize he really had no choice in the matter... then you have about 20 percent in here that want Trump to call for a Civil War...and then you have about 10 percent the nevertrumps on here who don’t realize Trump was the best thing to happen to the GOP since Reagan and him just to bend over and accept Mitt Romney and the Bush family as the leaders of the Republican Party and Trump should just go away
Yes- I was just thinking that-Revenge is a dish best served cold...also, when God closes a door, he opens a window.
What’s to stop them? I had faith in his lawyers until the Powell “ clarification “.
jesus. everybody is somebody’s Iago. baseless accusations are the order of the day.
Beginning to think they were all just shooting off their mouths.

I’m wondering; why Gore was allowed 3 more weeks to contest and Trump’s supposedly had display everything by today to look credible? Trump’s team has so much more to deal with than hanging chads in Florida. Hundreds of election workers are contacting Sidney Powell’s office willing to complete legal sworn testimony under penalty of perjury stating the evidence they can provide first hand that Biden’s people stole votes. All the research on the software system and forensics, computer in Germany etc. - Gore had none of that.
I can name the never-Trump trolls. They are very obvious.

It’s people like you that should be concerned about people like me.
You do realize he’s President until January 20.
Trump’s pledge that he will continue to fight is a crock. He’s thrown in the towel. Expect moving vans to show up momentarily at the White House to start moving them out.

No. He won’t. He allowed her to authorize transition funds because she was receiving threats. He will win once the votes are counted fairly. China’s Manchurian Candidate will never receive the codes the America’s nuclear arsenal. China can’t overthrow the US with a stolen election.
