Pentagon Abruptly Halts Biden Transition Briefings, Leaving Officials "Stunned" BY TYLER DURDENFRIDAY, DEC 18, 2020 - 11:12Axios' Jonathan Swan reports a bombshell potential major disruption in a key part of the presidential transition before President-Elect Joe Biden is sworn in on January 20: the Pentagon has without warning or explanation halted Biden's intelligence transition briefings.
Reports Swan: "Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered a Pentagon-wide halt to cooperation with the transition of President-elect Biden, shocking officials across the Defense Department, senior administration officials tell Axios."
Biden's team has so far maintained that it's unaware of the directive while Pentagon officials are said to be stunned and in the dark: "Administration officials left open the possibility cooperation would resume after a holiday pause," the breaking Axios report notes. "The officials were unsure what prompted Miller's action, or whether President Trump approved."
"Miller's move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the biggest eruption yet of animus and mistrust toward the Biden team from the top level of the Trump administration," Axios details.
However at least one senior Defense Department official downplayed the halt in Pentagon cooperation with President-Elect Biden, calling it "a simple delay of the last few scheduled meetings until after the new year."
But Jonathan Swan in a follow-up tweet noted this is all spin, saying "there was NOTHING routine about this decision" and appears part of an emerging information and intelligence war between the White House and president-elect Biden's team.
Previously scheduled Pentagon meetings with the Biden transition team have been canceled, according to senior national security correspondent for Defense One, Katie Bo Williams.
For now it appears that the sudden halt or pause is being blamed ostensibly on the holidays.
It remains unclear the degree to which the Biden team has been informed or is cooperative in the change, which appears to have involved at least today's briefing being unexpectedly canceled "without notice".
"These same senior leaders needed to do their day jobs and were being consumed by transition activities... With the holidays we are taking a knee for two weeks. We are still committed to a productive transition," the DoD source told Swan. |

| Yes..that is the "Official press release". Team is getting good mileage out of the supposed 'hack'
of our intel systems, which is not exactly how it went. The 'announced' hack was our guys going
through our agencies grabbing all the SolarWinds connections, AND firing people as they went.
And ask yourself, was this admin EVER going to give the Biden crew any real intel? Noooo!
Why would they??? We've been getting the scoop behinds the scenes since Q went dark. Just keep putting the pieces together. We have a massive amount, really,
and a clear picture of where we're at, and what's up next.
Remember we always look like we're losing, and that is so not the case. We are winning bigly!
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details.
A Miracle is when God makes His Reality our Experience
