Pelosi could bring in Emily, the GSA person who controls transition funding, with subpoena or the incoming Biden admin could threaten legal action against anyone that doesn't want to comply with the transition. Instead they don't do anything and ask for money from supporters.
It's stupid. It's so stupid.
There are lives on the line. He needs to be able to hit the ground running, but there has to be a better recourse than asking supporters to give more.
I'd agree this isn't a good look. For one, Biden shouldn't be in this position. This is 100% a failing of the American government. It fails at a lot of things due to bad actors trying to actively break it.
But the Biden campaign raised a shitton of money. They should have $9m or whatever to float this until that lady at the GSA gets her Kim Davis looking ass out of Trump's ass. They shouldn't be asking supporters for this.
That only encourages her to stonewall more, it also encourages Trump to promise a pardon in exchange for her stonewalling.This answer doesn't stand up to scrutiny. They can threaten her with legal action under the incoming Biden DOJ if she doesn't comply.
This is weird. I pay taxes, that should pay for this kind of thing
It does. Trump admin is refusing to release those funds.This is weird. I pay taxes, that should pay for this kind of thing
Do they not have millions left over from the campaign? Last I heard they were flush with cash.
Ridiculous that Trump and lackeys are gumming things up either way.
LOL it makes THEM look inept? They literally can't do anything. What are they gonna do, "force" the GSA to come to the house. Subpoena them so they can ignore it? Please, tell us what exactly you would do right now. How you can make the jump to the party that is being fucked with as inept is beyond me when they have zero legal power to do anything.Yeah, it's Biden's record takings that make it so suspect/outrageous.
They need to open their books and show us that they need the money and not that it's just going to the DNC (which some of it from this fundraising effort explicitly is).
Even still, it makes them look inept.
