https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/white-house-attorney-dispatched-to-agency-blocking-biden-transition-173301811.html
In NO WAY am I letting Emily Murphy off the hook. She is a coward and should resign. But I definitely want to know more about this White House attorney.
WASHINGTON Five days before the presidential election, the Trump administration dispatched attorney Trent Benishek of the White House general counsels office to the General Services Administration.
The agency, which oversees government leases among other administrative tasks, is little known to the general public. Nor is Benisheks name among those that have become a staple of Trumpworld reporting.
Accordingly, the move attracted no notice as the nation, and the world, focused on the Nov. 3 presidential election, perhaps the most consequential in modern American history.
GSA put out a press release, which said that as the new general counsel of the GSA, as well as its top ethics official, Benishek would advise in the formulation and promulgation of GSA policies and regulations, oversee the agencys litigation, and provide overall direction.

Emily Murphy is no more between a rock and a hard place than James Comey was in October 2016. (eom)

Emily Murphy has no moral qualms. She's only following orders. Like a good little Nazi.
