Trump Administration Is Planting Loyalists in Biden Transition Meetings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — Loyalists to President Donald Trump have blocked transition meetings at some government agencies and are sitting in on discussions at other agencies between career civil servants and President-elect Joe Biden&aposs transition teams, sometimes chilling conversations, several federal officials said.

At the Environmental Protection Agency, political appointees have joined virtually every discussion between career staff members and Biden’s team, monitoring conversations on climate change, scientific research and other topics. At the State Department such drop-ins are happening on what Trump appointees define as an as-needed basis. On Tuesday Biden’s transition team was allowed for the first time into the National Security Agency, but at the United States Agency for Global Media, parent of Voice of America, the Trump-appointed leader is refusing to cooperate with the Biden transition team, two agency officials confirmed.

Presidential transition experts said the presence of political officials at agency handoff meetings was not unheard-of and could even be seen as helpful. President George W. Bush, for example, worked closely in late 2008 with Barack Obama’s incoming team to help calm volatile financial markets. But against a backdrop of Trump’s refusal to concede election defeat, the actions of Trump appointees appeared to be a pernicious effort to slow the transition, some experts said.

“The norm is that the political people are not involved in the nuts and bolts of this,” said Michael Herz, a professor of administrative law at the Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University.

1. Typical ahole Pompeo. Once again - it's a norm that can be ignored

or purposefully countered. Given the incredible lack of ability of the Trump people I’d bet they are more worried bout what the career people are saying about them.

I actually caught the outgoing Global Media ahole Pack on Glenn Beck today. He said he was fully cooperating and then they both started trashing the incoming guy.
