@GerryConnolly
We have been incredibly patient, @GSAEmily, but we can wait no longer. Your refusal to follow the law is active and existential threat to our democratic norms and institutions.

You owe us, and the American people, an explanation. We are demanding you provide one. By Monday.

1. Or else!

(What?)

[Raven123]

4. Exactly. They've stonewalled everything for 4 years. Threatening letters are meaningless

[Phoenix61]

2. There went her nice, relaxing weekend. nt

[Cha]

3. Rt.. TY Rep Connolly!

[Barbara2423]

5. They should take it to the BAR. She should lose her law license.

We should stop playing games with these people.

[soldierant]

27. Does she have a law license?

I'm not at all sure she would need one in that position.

[kysrsoze]

6. Don't hold your breath. SMH.

I SERIOUSLY hope Monday is when they file court papers to force that asshole to do her job.

[ecstatic]

7. By Monday? Why not tomorrow?

FFS

[Nevilledog]

9. Not much of a difference whether she ignores it Friday or Monday

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. An extra three days of public pressure against one business day.

Optics

[ecstatic]

13. Ok. I'll take that

[DFW]

14. Plus, Pennsylvania certifies on Monday

That will remove one of those shaky legs she's standing on.

[Javaman]

15. Because the news cycle

You want this released in a Monday. If released on a Friday (aka Friday news dump aka no one pays attention), the repukes can come up will any kind of bullshit to distract or try and derail the conversation over the weekend

[RockRaven]

17. Certification deadline for the 6 states which Trump is falsely claiming victories:

GA 11/20 (Friday)
MI 11/23 (Monday)
PA 11/23 (Monday)

AZ 11/30
NV 12/1
WI 12/1

Once you take the states which Trump isn't even claiming to have won (Clinton 2016 minus NV) and add GA and any of the other states, that's more than 270. By Monday there is no excuse whatsoever for her failure to comply with the law, never mind prior convention (which she's already burned to the ground).

[George II]

8. BOOM! Put up or shut up Ms. Emily.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. She being held up by Drumpf scheming to overthrow the election

She's no civil servant

[Illumination]

12. Would that be like asking her to get her head out of her a**?...

[c-rational]

16. This non elected official is potentially doing irreparable harm to the American public and the

United States. I do not understand how this is allowed to stand.

[dalton99a]

18. Great letter

[CountMyVote4Reality]

24. Thank you for that.

It is a great letter.

[JudyM]

25. Yes, it's a great letter. Insisting she brief them within 4 days.

[AmericanCanuck]

19. K&R

[bdamomma]

20. She

will lose her job either way, sign the damn papers.

[Lucinda]

21. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[Old Terp]

22. People like her should be harassed after she leaves office. Wherever she goes that company should

know that she is a toxic person who does not respect the consumer of their product. Yes, and she should lose her law license and will be going to hell.

[jalan48]

23. If she's following the other Trump lackeys she won't be taking questions.

[LudwigPastorius]

26. They couldn't get one damned Republican Representative to sign onto that letter?

Fuck every last GOP piece of shit that wants the national security of this country imperiled.
