Everyone has been wondering why. It turns out these organizations have been ordered not to talk to the Biden transition team. It seems the objective is to keep his successor in the dark for as long as possible.
My take: they want Biden to fail. If Trump can't get a second term, then he can try to make Joe Biden a one-term President. I am surprised that President Trump has yet to tank the economy. The unconscionable is the norm with this President.
It thoroughly sickens me that Mike Flynn has tried to regain some authority in public life. There is someone who ought to retire to some activity that has nothing to do with the government except for paying taxes to the IRS on its profits.
