The fact that the loyalists are not allowing Biden transition officials to meet with current DoD counterparts is unconscionable. There needs to be mechanisms in place that allows for overriding shameless raw partisan actions like these.
It was laid bare in the 9.11 Report that the poor transition from Clinton to W (mainly due to W’s staff not giving the time of day to the Clinton transition team) was a critical component in allowing 9.11 to happen. Even clear warnings from the Clinton team regarding al Qaeda were dismissed by the W transition team who were far too of Cold War mentality to understand the danger radical Islam posed to the country. Even W himself admitted as much late in his tenure, that a more seamless & better received transition by his side could have done wonders for the country & he did what he could to ensure that the same errors weren’t made in the transition to the Obama admin.
It is frightening to envision what might be ignorantly or purposefully screwed up by the outgoing Trump admin to try to get an own on the Biden admin. Thankfully, world travel is massively curtailed now which helps to blunt an international terror attack, but the current admin is probably overlooking a groundswell of domestic terror plots & probably gives little to no shits about it.
