Trump crony Emily Murphy finally certifies Joe Biden's transition. |
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTECT BLACK WOMEN!
END SARS NOW!
HER NAME IS BREONNA TAYLOR!
WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!
BLOGGER IS TRASH!
The General Services Administration official who delayed President-elect Joe Biden’s transition finally caves to pressure. The woman who deliberately held up Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), the Vice President-elect signed off the necessary funds for incoming administration.
Emily Murphy was holding up the transition because she was ordered by President Donald J. Trump to do so. Trump refuses to concede to Biden. He is running out of legal options and is pretty much out of time.
Murphy on her part was facing a hearing from the House Democrats on why she is deliberately holding up the transition.
“I have dedicated much of my adult life to public service, and I have always strive to do what is right. Please know that I came to my decision independently, based on the law and the available facts. I was never directly or indirectly pressured by any Executive Branch official --- including those who work at the White House or GSA --- with regards to substance or timing of my decision,” said Murphy in a statement.
Murphy was getting death threats from both the right and the left. Many of Trump’s staunchest supporters believe the election was “stolen” from him and they believe anyone who wants Trump to concede is either a RINO or traitor to him.
The president finally acknowledged that it's time to begin the transition. He still won't concede but acknowledges that his rival will be the next president.
...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.

Trump himself had warned Republicans that he’s not willing to back them in reelection bids if they didn’t toe the line.
The Biden-Harris Transition team released a statement thanking Murphy.
Murphy’s decision was a “needed a step to begin tackling the challenges facing our nation, including getting the pandemic under control and our economy back on track.”
“This final decision is a definitive administrative action to formally begin the transition process with federal agencies,” the Biden-Harris transition executive director, Yohannes Abraham said in a statement. “In the days ahead, transition officials will begin meeting with federal officials to discuss the pandemic response, have a full accounting of our national security interests, and gain complete understanding of the Trump administration’s efforts to hollow out government agencies.”
