“Those questions have no place in a transition, Perez said. That is illegal.”
Just close the department and consolidate their work under a different department.

It’s illegal to ask questions until after the shredders are finished doing their job.

Illegal? Asking what projects your soon-to-be employees have been working on is illegal? Okay.

And he has no basis of fact or precedent, nor confirmation by the DoJ his claims are correct. If anything his ass should be one of the first perp-walked by US Marshals out of the building on Inauguration Day.
Just more Obama horsesh!t and blather.

Will dedicated career people be targeted because they were doing the right work? Perez said.I guess it depends on your definition of the word "right".

Questions are never illegal, in my knowledge.

Those questions have no place in a transition, Perez said. That is illegal.
Because figuring out who is doing what has absolutely nothing at all to do with the transition. /s
To: ColdOne
The incoming President has a right to know what people were working on.
And Trump gets to change the agenda. That’s why we have elections.

Perez is just using any old excuse, however specious, not to comply.
No problem Tom, the 20th is just around the corner. We can address your complaints then.

Doesn’t seem to matter to him that Article II of the
Constitution makes the President solely responsible for faithfully carrying out the laws of the U.S., in the course of which, subject to Senate advice and consent, he is to make whatever necessary appointments are to be made. That gives him authority to make the personnel inquiries he’s making.

I keep hearing that it is illegal but I’m not seeing any cites to regs or laws. So until then it seems to me to be totally legal. Sue him or charge him with a crime if it’s illegal but otherwise STFU.

Trump is being attacked because he is doing “Right” work, as opposed to “Left” work.
Careful, Perez. “right work” is political speech.
