Finally

The federal General Services Administration has notified President-elect Joe Biden that the Trump administration is ready to start the transition of power, CNN reported Monday.

[...]

The decision comes shortly after the Michigan Board of Canvassers on Monday voted to certify the state’s election after one of the Republicans on the panel joined Democrats in supporting the measure, dealing a blow to President Trump’s efforts to upend President-elect Joe Biden’s win in the Electoral College.

But now we see what actually happened. Murphy got called in to a House hearing.

The federal agency that is withholding funding from President-elect Joe Biden’s transition by refusing to “ascertain” his victory over President Donald Trump said Monday that it is willing to grant House Democrats’ requests for a briefing.

[...]

Under the law, Murphy has the power to free up millions of dollars that are allocated toward presidential transition spending. The transition can avail itself of those funds only after Murphy ascertains the winner of the election.

But the head of that agency, General Services Administration chief Emily Murphy, will not be leading that briefing, despite the demand from House Committee chairs that she “personally” explain herself.

Rather, a GSA spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC that Deputy Administrator Allison Brigati will “host a 30 minute briefing on Monday, November 30” — a week later than Democrats had asked for in a frustrated joint letter sent to Murphy last Thursday.

The spokesperson also said that GSA will host another, “in-person-only” briefing for staff on the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

In a response released Monday afternoon, the Democrats appeared to reject the offer, demanding instead that Murphy brief them by Tuesday.

“Every additional day that is wasted is a day that the safety, health, and well-being of the American people is imperiled as the incoming Biden-Harris Administration is blocked from fully preparing for the coronavirus pandemic, our nation’s dire economic crisis, and our national security.”

[...]

They accused the Trump appointee of “undermining the orderly transfer of power, impairing the incoming Administration’s ability to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, hampering its ability to address our nation’s dire economic crisis, and endangering our national security.”

[...]

“With your refusal to abide by the procedures established by the Presidential Transition Act, you are complicit in an unprecedented challenge to our Democratic norms and are endangering the lives and livelihoods of people across the nation.”

I guess she didn't get an offer of a Trump-paid lawyer (as if that would help her, considering the lawyers he's able to get) or a pardon should she get into legal trouble.

UPDATE:  No wonder Shinkle abstained.

I wouldn't be surprised to read in the future that the Shinkles were paid.
