Summary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of violating the Presidential Transition Act by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement, a law Warren helped author.
Her comments follow a CNN report suggesting that Trump’s team has withheld necessary transition agreements from the Biden administration due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
Rep. Jamie Raskin also criticized Trump’s refusal to engage in standard transition protocols, warning it could disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Trump’s actions break a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010.
Buckle up! It’s going to be article after article after article of “Trump violated XYZ law!”
Hope you’re happy Merrick Garland, you proved that Trump is above the law. At least history will say you weren’t partisan, because your image is the only thing that matters in life right? Not that Fox or any right wing propagandist will agree. You’re still a Democrat appointed witch hunter to them.
I think we might actually need to implement some sort of grading system for his infractions lest we get desensitized to the steady stream
Edit: I suddenly realize I’m not ready for even hearing “testing legal precedent” for the next 4 years let alone all the other shit going on
