  • A CLEAN SWEEP for the GOP from a Stunning Upset Win for Businessman Donald Trump to Become the 45Th President Elect of the United States, to the GOP Retaining the U.S
    A CLEAN SWEEP FOR THE GOP From a stunning upset win for businessman Donald Trump to become the 45th president elect of the United States, to the GOP retaining the U.S. Senate and House, Republicans keeping their 9- 5 margin in the U.S. Congress, blocking any attempt by the Democrats to take control of the Michigan House of Representatives and maintaining a lock on the Michigan Supreme Court, it was a remarkable Republican victory. TRUMP RIDES A POPULIST THEME TO THE WHITE HOUSE Connecting with a “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” feeling among the electorate, many of whom had never voted before, Donald Trump squeezed out a nail biter victory over the long presumed winner Hillary Clinton and put a big dent in the legacy of President Barack Obama. For the first time since 1988, it appeared likely that Michigan would go Republican in selecting a U.S. President. REPUBLICANS HOLD 9-5 EDGE IN U.S. HOUSE Retired Lt. General Jack Bergman crushed former Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lon Johnson 55 to 40 percent to win big in the 1st Congressional District where incumbent U.S. Representative Dan Benishek (R- Crystal River) did not seek reelection. In the 8th Congressional District Mike Bishop (R-Rochester) scored a healthy 57 to 39 percent margin victory over Democratic challenger Suzanna Shkreli and U.S. Representative Tim Walberg coasted to his fifth-term win by defeating Gretchen Driskell 59 to 36 percent. And former Ross Educational CEO Paul Mitchell was a first-time winner in his expected defeat of former Representative Frank Accavitti in Michigan’s 10th Congressional district.

  • At the Government Services Agency (GSA), Four Career Republican Operatives Are Obstructing the Presidential Transition Process, Putting Our National Security at Risk
    At The Government Services Agency (GSA), Four Career Republican Operatives Are Obstructing The Presidential Transition Process, Putting Our National Security At Risk. SUMMARY: Under federal law, the Government Services Agency (GSA) must “ascertain” the winner of a presidential election to trigger a “flow of government resources” to a president-elect for use in the transition process. Despite major television networks, US senators and several world leaders acknowledging Joe Biden’s status as president-elect, Trump’s GSA says that “an ascertainment has not yet been made,” which has prevented the Biden Transition Team from accessing these resources. Accountable.US has uncovered evidence that four senior GSA officials, including Administrator Emily Murphy, Deputy Administrator Allison Brigati, General Counsel Trent Benishek, and Chief of Staff Robert Borden all have significant records as Republican operatives, calling into question whether the resources necessary for the presidential transition are being withheld due to partisan political reasons. Emily Murphy, the head of GSA, got her start as a Republican National Committee (RNC) staffer who later worked under Senator Jim Talent – a prominent Trump supporter – on Capitol Hill. Murphy’s tenure at GSA has been marked by scandal after she “improperly” ignored the constitutional questions surrounding the Trump Organization’s lease of DC’s Historic Post Office building, and gave potentially “misleading” congressional testimony on Trump administration interference in the relocation of FBI headquarters. Deputy Administrator Allison Brigati, who is responsible for “managing GSA’s coordination effort during the presidential transition,” has a deep personal and professional history with the RNC. While a lawyer for the Party in 1996, Brigati appeared on ABC’s 20/20 to do damage control in response to a video exposing racist behavior at RNC headquarters and a related $21.5 million discrimination lawsuit.
