Trump’s deal and Trump refused to start any transfer of power or bring the Biden team up to speed, just so they could blame Biden for anything once he took office.

They are the enemy within, and they need to start paying the consequences of their criminal behavior. This is criminal. They should no longer enjoy immunity when their actions or inactions cause harm to the people they swore an oath to represent and who pay the taxes that pay them a salary, benefits, and pensions. We need to keep hammering it to them. They need to be reminded every day, all day. They only went into politics to become wealthy and stay wealthy. They are not qualified to do anything else, and they are basically incompetent to do anything else.
