Investigative journalists would do well to dig into the situation at the GSA: what role has Emily Murphy played in facilitating no-bid contracts that account for $9.4B+ in CARES Act funding?


Further tweets point out her role in the DC Hotel lease, IA's coronavirus testing windfall and its potential relationship to trumps desire to win that state in the election, etc. Emily Murphy has been a busy bee, until it came time for her role in the transition.

There has never been any legal or official requirement of a concession.
Thus, “Ron Klain, named this week as Biden’s chief of staff, said a concession from Trump was immaterial.
“‘If he’s prepared to begin to recognize that reality, that’s positive. Donald Trump’s Twitter feed doesn’t make Joe Biden president or not president. The American people did that,’ Klain said on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press.’”

Followed by this:
GSA is legally obliged to assist, and ultimately we will compel it, but in the meantime, the incoming Biden Administration can function without any cooperation whatsoever from GSA.
