Why are top members of an outgoing President's staff — four days before his term is done — now having an unannounced Saturday morning meeting at White House complex?
Yes, with both Kushners violating Shabbat to attend.
And for the thousand time, where is Pence and what is he doing?
Pence still (at least in theory) works for us and has no right to slink around secretly, as if he is a private citizen. His whereabouts could affect our future.
No Presidency should ever be run as if it is a small, corrupt, understaffed, failing private company.
And what is the President’s (radically underqualified and underexperienced) national security adviser doing at this secret White House meeting this morning?

Tonight, in our beloved country:
"Defense officials tell AP they fear possible inside attack at inauguration, will have National Guard troops vetted.”
This AP report about fears of “possible inside attack” shows why security and safety must overwhelm any other consideration when President and Vice President are sworn in on Wednesday.
Please reconsider possibility of inauguration at military base or another fortified location. Symbolism must bow to safety.
Now Lindsey Graham is pleading by letter with the new Senate Majority Leader, Mr. Schumer, to shut down Trump’s impeachment trial, on grounds of avoiding “further division.” Graham claims that otherwise “history will judge us harshly."
Chutzpah, thy name is Lindsey Graham.
In the LBJ lexicon for politicians for whom he had contempt, Lindsey Graham would qualify as a “squealing worm."
Make sure that Giuliani does not grab and resell the George Washington portrait that hangs in the White House East Room in payment of his Trump legal bills.
And no, Trump’s relatives are not legally permitted to take “souvenirs” home from the permanent White House collection of paintings, furniture and artifacts.
Do we feel safe with the security of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris provided by intelligence agencies, Secret Service and other government institutions that are under Donald Trump’s control till noon on January 20th? Every precaution must be taken.
Nixon talked on secret tapes about putting loyalists on Ted Kennedy’s Secret Service detail, said to aide, "Plant two guys on him.” Nixon also discussed revoking Kennedy’s protection, saying, "If he gets shot, it's too damn bad.”
Anyone think Trump wouldn’t descend to this level?
What assurance do we have that White House Family Quarters will be safe, sanitary and secure immediately after noon on January 20, 2021? Sorry to bring up delicate subjects, but the issue is too important to the country.
