      A thought experiment: It is, alas, is EXTREMELY PLAUSIBLE that four years from now Trump will have won a rematch against Biden and we’ll be in the exact opposite situation. Imagine Biden tried to apply the new GOP precedent (no ascertainment, lawfare, lies) to that transition.

      On one hand, that’d be wrong, and he wouldn’t do it. On the other hand it’s unacceptable for Dems to be bound by stricter norms than the other party. But on the other OTHER hand, Republicans would completely and shamelessly reverse themselves.

      They’d use every tool of power available to them to get the transition started if Biden tried. They’ll sabotage a peaceful transition away from them then happily imprison anyone who sabotaged the transition to their own administration.

      With Dems, we’re seeing, it’s the reverse: they’ll allow their transition to be sabotaged but won’t do anything to slow Republicans from taking over In the future.

      That’s why people (or at least I) find this so infuriating. Republicans aren’t establishing a new norm, they’re just looting. He owes it to the country to fight it as hard as possible, for the principle that there’s one set of rules, and we aren’t governed by bad faith.

          They can't let this stand. GSA doesn't set terms, the house does. Completely unacceptable.

          Why is @SpeakerPelosi allowing this?? It’s out of control how silly the house is now. No power can’t do anything. I’m a Democrat but I’m embarrassed by how powerful the executive branch has become. But no Democrats will do anything.

          if house dems had, at the beginning of 2019, decided that the threat of inherent contempt was likely the only way administration officials weren't going to reflexively treat congressional subpoenas as bird cage lining, we wouldn't all be having such intense deja vu right now
