Pentagon Halts Biden Transition Briefings For The Holidays

 


 * Transition briefings began weeks late after Trump appointee held up finding 
 * Trump continued Friday to claim he won the election 
 * Comes amid claims Russia hacked Pentagon and other U.S. agencies 
 * 'We won the Presidential Election, by a lot,' Trump tweeted Friday 
 * Acting Sec. Miller confirmed 'holiday pause' in convoluted statement 

The Pentagon abruptly ceased cooperating with transition-related briefings with the Biden administration – even as the government works to uncover the full extent of a massive cybersecurity breach. 

The Defense Department also is playing a key role in distribution of the coronavirus vaccine – as states clamor for more supplies and face life-or-death decisions about who to inoculate first. 

The cessation of briefings shocked Pentagon officials, according to Axios, which reported the change.

The "Pentqgon" waants Biden and is fully supportive of the stolen election. What to make of this "spat?" Biden needs to appear as a tough guy who will "stand up" to the Pentagon. Of course the military will do his bidding. The show is for the American people. The illusion of an adversarial relatuinship needs to be shown.

Maybe they really got the goods on Biden, his son, and the steal.


I feel sorry for Hunter although I still want him in prison. With his original mother he might have turned out better than with that thing. Hunter might have been snot nosed rich kid like most people would be growing up in those circumstances, but there is still a large leap across a great chasm to get to where he is. His dad got him his 1st job. It is not a meritocracy, but is is the norm and very survivable by The Republic. No question. But I think that it was after getting the 1st job that Joe laid the guilt trip on Hunter and started grooming him for the graft gravy train.

I also think Hunter in some respect think it is normal. After all he was not alone. He flew to China with Kerry's son. Probably a lot of Beltway silver spoon kids similar to that.

No doubt Hunter resents being the back-up scion. I might be off base on the guilt trip theory, but Hunter resenting being the replacement for Beau and playing 2nd fiddle up to the point of Beau's untimely demise is accurate.

WILMINGTON, Del./WASHINGTON (Reuters) ― President-elect Joe Biden’s team will consider several options to punish Russia for its suspected role in the unprecedented hacking of U.S. government agencies and companies once he takes office, from new financial sanctions to cyberattacks on Russian infrastructure, people familiar with the matter say.

The response will need to be strong enough to impose a high economic, financial or technological cost on the perpetrators, but avoid an escalating conflict between two nuclear-armed Cold War adversaries, said one of the people familiar with Biden’s deliberations, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The overarching goal of any action, which could also include stepped-up counter cyber espionage efforts, would be to create an effective deterrence and diminish the potency of future Russian cyber spying, the person said.

REVEALED: ‘Simple Math’ Shows Biden Claims 13 MILLION More Votes Than There Were Eligible Voters Who Voted in 2020 Election

I believe this is the simple math we were promised by WNU. Given as many skillets he has on the fire, family emergencies and such, no biggie.

Someone else (probably several if not a few hundred) did the math. What I read about Binney to get his back story and those in the aftermath of 2001 angered me.

Whistleblowers were harassed, raided and their property confiscated. The businesses were ground into the dust. Binney had a competing interest. So he could be lying. It would not be hard for in my book to look at his software and compare it to the software that the govt ended up using. The software that the govt. said it would not use after it got caught.

The thing you learn in the sciences is that if you want to solve a problem, you have to elegant. Binney claims his software was lean (elegant). As far as we know the government software hoovers up everything. We believe it and we joker about it. We believe that almost any crime could be solved from Russia Hoax to Hunter Biden's dalliances with children. Because the NSA hoovers up everything.

If you read about Binney and other whistleblowers, I can see why Snowden did not go to a senator or use means other than that which he did.

Snowden needs to be pardoned.

The raid on Binney is very reminiscent of the Roger Stone. They are years apart. It angers me to see that the FIB has been a corrupt political piece of shit for 3 decades.

Binney ran the numbers. Run the numbers yourselves.

Former Vice President Biden officially becomes the 46th president of the United States once he is sworn in at noon on January 20, 2021. But with Donald Trump still contesting the election results and claiming the process was rigged, many people have started to wonder: What would happen if Mr. Trump tries to stay in the White House past January 20?

Basically, the short answer is, he can't. The rules on this are quite clear. With or without Mr. Trump's agreement, power will be transferred to the new president after the inauguration, and Mr. Trump will effectively become a trespasser in the White House.

If necessary, the Secret Service will forcibly remove Mr. Trump from the residence. According to Columbia Law School professor Richard Briffault, "at noon on January 20, he becomes a trespasser and possibly a security risk and could be removed," Pix 11 reports. Rebecca Green, co-director of the Election Law Program at William & Mary Law School, concurs, saying, "If Joe Biden is duly elected president and Trump refuses to leave the White House, Biden will order that Trump be escorted from White House grounds."

Simply put, it's the American voters, not the president, who decide where the power of the presidency lies — no matter how vocal the current president might be on Twitter.

It doesn’t matter that Mike Flynn’s calls for sedition won’t prevent President Elect Biden from taking office in a month. The fact that the President is giving quarter to such talk, just weeks after signaling that he thinks it was unfair for Mike Flynn to pay a price for his secret dealings with foreign countries, is still an assault on our democracy, one that won’t go away after January 20.

This is not just about Trump’s insanity and that of the only advisors he trusts in the wake of his loss. It’s that he and Flynn are openly discussing ways to continue to betray this country even after he is removed.

Reports that disgraced former Army General Michael Flynn urged President Trump to declare martial law and “re-run” the election drew harsh reactions Saturday from intelligence veterans, who worry that foreign adversaries could use the chaos at the top of the government to “take advantage of us,” as one former top CIA spy put it.

Flynn reportedly urged Trump to mount what would essentially be a military coup in a “raucous” Oval Office meeting Friday night, where Flynn and the conspiracy-minded lawyer Sidney Powell accused others of “quitting” on the president’s campaign to overturn the election results.

“At one point in the meeting on Friday, Mr. Trump asked about that idea,” the New York Times reported.

“It was heated, people were really fighting it out in the Oval,” a source told CNN.

Veteran intelligence officers told SpyTalk they were appalled at the coup talk.

“Many former intelligence officers, myself included,” retired CIA presidential briefer David Priess told SpyTalk, “are shocked that the using-the-military-to-interfere-in-democratic-processes, things we used to collect on and analyze regarding other countries, are reportedly being discussed by the U.S. president about the US political process!”

Former CIA chief of staff Larry Pfeiffer called the coup talk “very disturbing.” He virtually cringed at the thought of foreign embassies in Washington filing reports on the possibility of martial law in the United States.

“This is the kind of behavior that gets intelligence officers at embassies writing cables home about impending coup plotting,” he told SpyTalk. “Usually those are Americans writing the cables. Not this time.”

Even before the coup talk, said former senior CIA operations officer Marc Polymeropoulos, foreign diplomats at embassy receptions in Washington were openly worrying about the president’s mental state.

Of course the election was stolen. The only people who don't know this are partisan Democrats, those heavily afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, and those who simply aren't paying attention. While there are vast oceans of those who aren't paying attention, they aren't in positions of power within corporations or various governments. Essentially everyone team Biden deals with even if they support his presidency will know he did not legitimately win. Naturally this combined with other scandals swirling around him means he needs to distract us. See the alleged "cyber attack" and whose being blamed without any evidence presented.

The article you link to is but one part of Mountains of evidence proving the steal. Until we can get courts to actually hear the evidence I suppose the media can blithely claim that the claims of fraud are "baseless."

Chief Justice Roberts violated the constitution, which clearly states that the state legislatures make up the laws governing the elections.

Roberts, who broke Irish law in adopting his 2 children, extended mail in ballots 3 days past election day.

If Trump gets a 2nd term that fucker Roberts is getting impeached by Congress.

When it comes to sex crimes or trafficking of children there is no statute of limitations. Sucks to be Roberts.

Anon (12:25),

The Gateway Pundit article linked to above by Anon above is but one part of mountains of evidence of electoral fraud benefiting Biden.

As Anon (12:31) points out correctly. Tge cases are being tossed out improperly without a proper hearing. Tge recent SCOTUS actions regarding the TX case are especially egregious. The Constitution clearly states that State Legislatures make election law, not governors or courts. It seems that these 4 states clearly violated the Constitution.

The fact that so many people signed on to the TX case suggests that the case has/had merit. At a minimum, SCOTUS should have taken up the case and heard the legal arguments. At least we would have had some degree of closure regarding the outcome. In this case, there is no closure. "Lack of standing" is completely ridiculous. How states conduct national elections has a profound effect on other states.

I think a fix was probably on from the start with the outcome predetermined. As I understand it, Ted Cruz was set to argue the TX case. Mr. Cruz is one of the brightest legal minds in America and among the most honest of our leaders. Naturally he would have obliterated the opposition. As such, ZSCOTUS couldn't take up the case. They needed a ridiculous excuse to avoid taking up the case and they found it.

12:25 looks to be Fred.

In which case getting into the weeds will be brief as Fred will simply move onto another point.

Facts like the state legislatures make electoral law per the constitution and judges and country commissioners cannot have no bearing with Fred. He will simply state that a judge threw out the case.

He will not discuss if the judge is partisan or that judges are often wrong.

The Ninth Circuit court is the most overturned circuit court in the land. So when they make a ruling he should stand in awe?

I think we should.

We should stand in awe of their stupidity and arrogance .

The most famous case of SCOTUS being wrong is the Dred Scott case.

But 12:25 will only say the judge X threw out a case and that is the end of it. It is for him because eh gets all his thoughts form liberal papers and has no ability to think on his own.

Nothing dumb about the claims. The election was stolen. The evidence cited in the Gateway article is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

The courts "over and over again" have failed to properly apply the law. The recent actions by SCOTUS is the most egregious example to date. By the way I don't vodka. I've explained that before. You'd known that had you bothered to actually read my posts.

As I stated elsewhere, it would have been far better for SCOTUS to hear the case and render a finding rather than the ridiculous "lack of standing" rationale. If course if a fix was already in and with Ted Cruz set to argue the TX case they had no choice as Mr Cruz would have obliterated the opposition. Therefore we couldn't be bothered with something so pesky as an actual hearing of the case.

I had no idea Ms Barrett's kids had been doxxed. If so, she folded like a cheap chair. Since she obviously doesn't have the courage or morals to pruoel5 carry out this job, she and others should have declined these appointments.
