The Pentagon blocked members of President Joe Biden’s incoming administration from gaining access to critical information about current operations, including the troop drawdown in Afghanistan, upcoming special operations missions in Africa and the Covid-19 vaccine distribution program, according to new details provided by transition and defense officials.
The effort to obstruct the Biden team, led by senior White House appointees at the Pentagon, is unprecedented in modern presidential transitions and will hobble the new administration on key national security matters as it takes over positions in the Defense Department on Wednesday, the officials said.
Biden openly decried the treatment his aides were receiving at the Pentagon in December, calling it “nothing short, in my view, of irresponsibility” after meetings were canceled ahead of Christmas. He said his people were denied information on the SolarWinds hack, and said his team “needs a clear picture of our force posture around the world and our operations to deter our enemies.”
But people involved with the transition, both on the Biden team and the Pentagon side, gave POLITICO a more detailed picture of what was denied, saying briefings on pressing defense matters never happened, were delayed to the last minute, or were controlled by overbearing minders from the Trump administration’s side.
This story is based on conversations with 10 Pentagon and Biden officials involved in the transition, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.
Tensions between the Pentagon and the Biden agency landing team emerged almost the moment the General Services Administration authorized the transition to begin in late November after an initial delay following the election.

So? It’s nothing but propaganda from Jan 20, 2021 trying to establish the “bad Trump” narrative.
What is the purpose of this posting today?
Some people just want to see Trump taken out so that the RINO agenda can continue forward.
Ditto. Strange
‘What is the purpose of this posting today?’
“Some people just want to see Trump taken out so that the RINO agenda can continue forward.“
Some people don’t care that Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan ass backwards leaving our military with wounded and 13 killed, American and friendly civilians behind to get slaughtered the enemy $83,000,000,000.00 worth of the finest most effective military equipment, as long as they can get a dig in and say Trump is mean…or something.
Would have been better for the planet if the Pentagon carryovers would have executed the entire bunch a faggots sent to take over the Nation’s defense...
I did assume FReepers were awake enough to recognize a MSM hit piece after years of them lying about Trump, not the least of which is their framing of him as an insurrectionist, traitor etc. over and over again. But, some are still not paying attention I guess, or it was more fun to accuse me of being a rhino troll.
I believe Biden didn’t ‘accidentally’ threaten to blow up the world at a press conference today. I believe his handlers had him say that as a threat and make him seem dangerous- the regime is going down, seth rich’s laptop image is going to be released, questions about Biden in congress etc.
So I posted a similar scenario - the Jan 20, 2023 story in Politico to make it available for those who may want access re another post I made.
I do think you would have been unharmed if you scrolled on by. Hopefully, you will one day recover.
Isn’t this what the “progressive” Left praised as “resistance” when they did similar things in 2016? Well then, they can stuff it. Of course, I’m sure they’ve replaced every decision maker at the Pentagon with lefty lunatics since these events occurrrd.
The Pentagon is a vast organization...more of a collective than a single organization because it is not unified but comprised of many opposing and competing factions.
And given that the country is grossly divided between those who support the Constitution and those who want to destroy it, it is completely understandable that some factions are going to deny access to the levers of power and vital information to the corrupt and Marxist-indoctrinated, Islam-loving Biden administration.
No reason to post this rubbish at 5am
More convenient lies. However, today’s Pentagon is is more like a Pentagram full of LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ+ Climate cultist, DEI freaks incapable of anything associated military requirements.
And the article does not mention the security clearances of the various people from the incoming Biden Administration. Not that anyone in the administration should ever have been given a security clearance!
I strongly question the morality and judgement of any military member that goes along with the total bull**** coming from the White House or for that matter, anyone in the swamp. The Democrats are the country’s greatest enemy.
Period.
Thank you.
We need to be constantly reminded what an incompetent fool Biden is:
<><>he pulled us out of Afghanistan ass-backwards
<><>he endangered many, including our military
<><>America lost 13 military men and many wounded,
<><>he abandoned American and friendly civilians behind for an unknown fate,
<><>he stupidly gifted the enemy w/ $83,000,000,000.00
<><>he left behind tons of America’s finest most effective military equipment.
They were still counting ballots in December. I don’t blame the Pentagon for being protective.

Good question. What is the point of posting this article today?
Was 1/20/09 considered "modern"?
