President-elect Donald J. Trump’s team will have some formal briefings with outgoing staff members, but it has so far refused to allow the F.B.I. to do security clearances for transition members.
Very likely because much of their team can’t pass a background check, and they know it.
Laws can only do so much. The founders knew that. They are just words and paper.
We the people chose this. Why and how are moot. We didn’t hold our leaders accountable. Now, we see how far Trump will go, because there are no actual checks on his power. He can literally drag Congress members into the street and shoot them without consequences. And half the country will cheer.
