[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes, there is a disagreement about some kind of a two-week halt, but Miller says there are several meetings this week. And Sullivan gives no specifics. Whose office is not responding, and re: what specific issues? Is a particular Secretary not responding to information requests in a timely manner, one or more DASDs? What are their areas etc.? No-one is being instructed not to cooperate by leadership, so it's hard to know what's going on here. [/quote] DP - And I agree with the PPs that the Trump Administration has such low credibility and clear aversion to transparency and accountability that I am giving Sullivan the extreme benefit of the doubt.[b] And how do we know that no one is being instructed not to cooperate?[/b] I trust that Jake Sullivan knows who to call to set up meetings at DoD. [/quote] You don't. Anyone high enough to get that instruction isn't going to talk about it. [/quote] I am familiar with one ASD office, where the transition has gone, and continues to go, beautifully. But that ASD is hypercompetent and mission-focused. Are they all like that? Maybe (probably) not, especially post-purge. [b] That’s why naming specific areas/ASDs would clarify. [/b][/quote] It would clarify it for us and for purposes of Beltway gossip, but there's no doubt in my mind that when Biden says there's obstruction and Sullivan says there's obstruction (and adds in OMB) that everyone who's involved from DoD and Biden's team knows exactly who and what they are talking about. And there are a couple of interpretations - one is that the Biden team really doesn't know what's going on and they are signaling that a whole long line of buses is being lined up to throw folks under. Another is that they have a good idea of what they aren't being fully briefed on and are signaling they will shut it down on Jan. 20 if they don't get information. The third is they believe something is being concealed and they aren't going to go along with it. And this is why I think Austin is a bad pick for SecDef. Biden clearly needs someone he can get through confirmation easily and who knows the place inside and out in order to ferret out information and more importantly oust non civil servant Trump loyalists.[/quote]
