“In the best interest of the country,” Trump agreed to initiate a presidential handover
Fight, of course. Trump said on Twitter: “I want to thank Emily Murphy from the General Services Administration for her unwavering dedication and loyalty to our country. She has been harassed, threatened and abused. I don’t want to see this. This happened to her, her family or employees of the General Services Administration. Our case will continue to be pursued vigorously, and we will continue to fight hard, and I believe we will win! But in the best interest of our country, I suggested to Emily and her team that they do a related initial handover work, and I’ve told my team to do the same. “
Trump’s tweets are worth paying attention to. First, he acknowledged much work Murphy, praised for resisting the pressure and once again rejected the application for untimely delivery of equipment Biden when the media and public opinion was overwhelming. Murphy was personally attacked and flagrantly threatened by the left because he rejected the transfer of government; third, Trump promised that the lawsuit should be stopped and firmly believed that he would eventually win; Fourth, Trump believed the handover was initiated in the best interests of the country. It can be seen that he himself does not want to threaten national security by the delay in delivery. I took a step back, but that does not mean that he admitted that he lost the election.
Murphy, a Trump-appointed cabinet member, told Biden in a letter signed Nov. 23 that she was ready to begin the handover process. However, he emphasized that “the true winner of the presidential election will be determined by the electoral procedures detailed in the Constitution.” In his opinion, Biden is not yet a president in the constitutional sense. So what made Murphy change his attitude and allow Biden’s team to begin the trade? Here is a brief introduction to the Federal Service Agency.
In charge of the transfer of power, the General Services Administration once rejected Biden’s request
This government department is considered the “lowest profile” agency in the federal government, responsible for managing the federal building, and is also known as the “owner” of the United States government. The General Services Administration also has a special mission. According to the Presidential Transition Act passed in 1963, it helps complete the transfer of presidential power at the time of the “dynasty change” and empowers the Director of General Services to “certify” the new president. . Only after overcoming this barrier can the new government team request access to the U.S. federal government intranet system, and the new president’s team can also receive $ 9.9 million in funding for salaries and clerical work for the new government. At the same time, the General Services Administration can also assist transitional government officials by arranging for them to meet with intelligence agencies and other federal government officials. In other words, in the United States, the General Services Administration is a key part of the smooth transition of state power.
Everyone knows that Biden had already announced his victory on the 8th, but since Trump’s team has filed successive lawsuits in undecided states, some states have not been able to verify the election results until now, and the deadline is December 14. In other words, the state in dispute still has more than 20 days to resolve the issue and decide whether to certify the election results and complete the electoral vote. Only after the certification process is completed, the election can be considered as the final result of the constitution. Excluding the controversial Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, Trump and Biden currently have 232 electoral votes and 227 votes, respectively. Both sides are very far from the electoral gate of 270.
However, the left-wing media counted Biden’s undecided state votes, saying he had been elected. Biden himself also changed his Twitter signature to “President Elect” early, and has formed a transitional government team. It is said that tomorrow (24), Biden will announce his first A group of cabinet members continued to create the illusion that they had won the election and then forced the palace on Trump.
A week ago, Biden camp revealed that approached the General Services Administration and asked the Director to approve the formal transfer of power as soon as possible. However, Biden’s camp actions similar to “forcing the palace” received a lot of dust. Director Murphy rejected his request in one fell swoop. The reason is simple. The “clear winner” of this election has yet to be determined, which means, I still don’t know who the president is, what are you worried about? Decidedly, don’t let it go.
A similar situation occurred in the 2000 elections between Bush Jr. and Gore. At that time, Democratic candidate Al Gore declared his victory first, but the General Services Administration did not confirm who it was until December 12 of that year after the Supreme Court justice ruled. President of America. As a result, Bush Jr. kept Florida’s electoral vote, flipped Gore, and won. Gore Kong was delighted.

Why did Murphy change his attitude and accept the trade?
In fact, Murphy could have insisted on going through the transfer procedure after December 14. Why didn’t you do that? There are three main reasons.
First of all, starting today, states have begun certifying election results one after another. Judging from the current situation, Biden will win after the results are released, and Murphy has to give in.
Today, the MI Canvassing Board in the undecided state of Michigan finally approved the certification of the election result with a score of 3-0. Two Republican deputies, one in favor and one abstaining. According to media statistics, Biden leads Trump here by 154,000 votes. This means that Biden can legally obtain 16 electoral votes in Michigan.
The Republican member of the State Voting Committee did not hold the bottom line like the two Republican members of the Wayne County State Voting Committee, disappointing many Trump supporters. Wayne County is the most populous county in Michigan with approximately 863,000 votes. According to the county’s official website as of November 3, 2020, general election data, Democratic presidential candidate Biden received 597,170 votes and President Trump received 264,553 votes. If Wayne County, which dominates the Democrats, is excluded, Trump would get more than 180,000 votes ahead of Biden in Michigan.
Last week, Wayne County did not approve the certification of the county’s election results. Two Republican members refused to sign the certification. The certification discussion process was very dramatic. Two members of the Republican committee, Monica Palmer and William C. Hartmann, first denied the vote count of the county, but changed their attitude to the next day and signed the result of certification. The reason is that they were physically attacked and threatened with death. Some Democrats threatened to publish their addresses and where their children went to school. However, in the end, the two persisted, revoked its recognition of election results in the county, they refused to sign the certification and each submitted a written testimony relevant.
Palmer said there is a big problem with absentee ballot statistics in Detroit, Wayne County. 175,000 blank ballots were mailed and no fewer than 400 were returned. Such a high recovery rate is obviously abnormal. Hartman said she was attacked and that the secretary of state promised to review the results of the vote count, but then broke the contract, making her unacceptable.
When the most controversial matter in Wayne County was not resolved, the Michigan State Voting Committee approved the results of the state’s vote count. Trump’s team immediately issued a statement that read: “Verification by state officials is only one procedural step. We will continue to crack down on election fraud across the country and will work hard to count all legitimate votes. “
Murphy’s second reason was threats from the left. In her letter to Biden, she said that she was directly threatened by the Internet, phone calls and emails. Not only her, but also her family, employees, and even pets were threatened to force her to make an early decision. Videos circulating on the Internet showed leftists holding signs to protest in front of his house, asking him to resign.
Third, Murphy should make that decision after arguing with Trump. Trump didn’t want to put too much pressure on his subordinates, so he relaxed and began the handover procedure. At the same time, he won a week of legal proceedings for Trump’s team.
In accordance with the General Services Administration arrangement, next Monday (November 30), Deputy Director Allison Brigati will host a 30-minute briefing to present the transfer status and specific arrangements. Democrats in Congress simply did not accept this proposal. They demanded that Murphy himself must personally report the details of the transfer and must act tomorrow. They hope to cook the raw rice as soon as possible.
For Trump, the current situation is a dead end. To the leftists pushing the palace, he gave in first and, at the same time, hoped it would eventually return through legal channels. However, the time remaining for Trump’s team of lawyers is running out. They must effectively file legal proceedings, take the case to the Supreme Court as soon as possible, prevent other undecided states from further confirming the voting results, and present conclusive evidence of alleged unconstitutional fraud in the general election. , To have the opportunity to turn danger into disaster.
