House Democrat says Congress has few options to help Biden's transition to power

More than a week after President-elect Joe Biden was projected to win the 2020 election, Democratic lawmakers are still pushing the federal government to provide resources, office space and funding to his transition team. Congressman Gerry Connolly, a Virginia Democrat who chairs the House Subcommittee on Government Operations, told CBSN the head of the government's General Services Administration hasn't responded to lawmakers' questions about why she hasn't signed off on this key part of the transition process. Connolly also said Congress is limited in what it can do to compel the Trump administration to proceed.

Send her to prison once biden in office. Period.

Ms. Murphy is going to be out of a job in two months, anyway. Does she really think that Trump gives a damn what happens to her?

[franklinpayero]

This is what really happened, when some leaders want to be a dictator like.

You can't follow "precedent" whenever it's convenient for your party.. Trump and the GOP have ignored almost every precedent that was ever set, so this is just another desperate attempt.

Well Congress doesn’t dictate who’s president the constitutional process does

[bladerunner]

biden's being smart. don't make too much out of the logistics of the transition. suffer through it and let trump shoot himself in his political foot one more time. he'll NEVER live it down.

[ileanafigueroa]

Emily Murphy should be accountable. Murphy is a public server for us We the People

[troymixwell]

There are more Trolls in the comments than a Tolkien novel.

[barrydavis]

Trump has a "Jim Jones" type hold on his devotees.

[VincentPetitFrere]

The short answer is, the system is broken.

[Nancy-xgnc]

Guess she'll be job hunting on 1/21/21😂😂😂

Issue the subpoena. Don't let her get away with this. Biden may have to wait but she needs to be held liable after the election.

[perrywalton]

Sadly, Ms. Murphy will get away with this stonewalling. She us actively looking for a job...this speaks volumes.

[josephharrington]

Is this Emily Murphy’s 15 minutes of fame. So she is playing it as much as she can. Because when she finally does her job trump will say who I don’t know her.

[apamwamba]

Biden should take it easy....Its a few days before January 20, does the RUSH....Patience pays

[joedirt]

The Democratic Narrative Is Are we The baddies?

[tracycarrier]

He is not President elect. Did they call it again I missed it.

[longislanddriver]

Murphy needs to have protesters at her house 24/7

[michelez]

Glenn Kirschner has suggested a special Fast Track Court for this sort of situation, where a subpoena has been ignored. Every stage is done within 72 hours, from going to court hearing in 72 hours, another 72 hrs for making the case, and ruling within 72 hrs.

It's not law, go after these clowns and lock them up.
