BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT SANITY IS
BEING RESTORED TO THE WHITE
HOUSE BECAUSE QUALIFICATIONS
MATTER AGAIN.
DONALD TRUMP HAS HAD FOUR WHITE
HOUSE CHIEFS OF STAFF, EACH OF
THEM UNQUALIFIED FOR THAT
POSITION.
EACH OF THEM DISGRACED
THEMSELVES IN THAT POSITION BY
PUBLICLY LYING FOR DONALD TRUMP.
EACH OF THEM WAS THE WORST
POSSIBLE WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF
STAFF UNTIL THE NEXT ONE TURNED
OUT TO BE EVEN WORSE.
AND NOW COMES RON KLAIN.
A SUMMA CUM LAUDE GRADUATE OF
HARVARD LAW SCHOOL WHO SERVED AS
A SUPREME COURT CLERK BEFORE
BECOMING CHIEF COUNSEL TO THE
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
OVERSEEING THE CONFIRMATION OF
SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND ALL
FEDERAL JUDGES.
THEN SERVING AS CHIEF OF STAFF
TO ATTORNEY GENERAL JANET RENO
IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
THEN MOVING TO THE WHITE HOUSE
AS CHIEF OF STAFF TO VICE
PRESIDENT AL GORE.
AND THEN SERVED AS CHIEF OF
STAFF TO VICE PRESIDENT -- TO
THE VICE PRESIDENT ONCE AGAIN
WHEN JOE BIDEN BECAME VICE
PRESIDENT IN 2009.
PRESIDENT OBAMA NAMED RON KLAIN
AS HIS WHITE HOUSE EBOLA
RESPONSE COORDINATOR AT THE
HEIGHT OF A FRIGHTENING PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS THAT RON KLAIN AND
PRESIDENT OBAMA MANAGED TO
CONTROL.
THERE IS NO RON KLAIN IN THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
THERE ARE INCOMPETENT BUFFOONS
WHOSE HIGHEST HOPE IS THAT THEY
MAKE IT TO "DANCING WITH THE
STARS" LIKE SEAN SPICER DID.
THERE ARE CORRUPT PROFITEERS
LIKE THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
AND THERE ARE PATHOLOGICAL LIARS
LIKE THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
ONE OF THOSE PATHOLOGICAL LIARS
HAS BEEN INSTALLED AT THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THIS WEEK BY
DONALD TRUMP FOR THE REMAINING
70 DAYS OF HAVOC THAT DONALD
TRUMP MIGHT TRY TO BRING TO THAT
DEPARTMENT.
RETIRED ARMY BRIGADIER GENERAL
ANTHONY TATA, WHO HAS CALLED
PRESIDENT OMA A MUSLIM AND A
TERRORIST LEADER, CANNOT DO ANY
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE PENTAGON
IN 70 DAYS.
THERE ARE TOO MANY SMART PEOPLE
THERE TO STOP HIM.
AND IF HE TRIES TO DO THAT, HE
WILL GO TO PRISON BECAUSE ON
JANUARY 21st THE INSPECTOR
GENERAL OF WHAT WILL THEN BE THE
BIDEN DEFENSE DEPARTMENT AND THE
INSPECTORS GENERAL OF EVERY
DEPARTMENT OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WILL BEGIN
INVESTIGATING EVERYTHING THAT
THE TRUMP CREW HAS BEEN UP TO.
EVERYTHING.
EVERY BIG AND LITTLE THING.
AND THE INSPECTORS GENERAL WILL
REFER ANY CRIMINAL FINDINGS TO
THE BIDEN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FOR
INVESTIGATION BY THE FBI AND
PROSECUTION BY THE BIDEN JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT.
AND SO IT’S ALL OVER.
THE REIGN OF THE CORRUPT IS
OVER.
THE REIGN OF THE INCOMPETENT IS
OVER.
AND IF THEY TRY ANYTHING ON THE
WAY OUT THE DOOR, JOE BIDEN AND
RON KLAIN ARE GOING TO ASSEMBLE
A TEAM THAT WILL TRACK THEM DOWN
AND MAKE THEM PAY.
NOW, MOST TRADITIONAL OBSERVERS
AND RESPECTERS OF THE TRANSITION
PROCESS ARE OUTRAGED
UNDERSTANDABLY AT DONALD TRUMP’S
BEHAVIOR IN LOSING THIS
ELECTION.
I COUNT MYSELF AMONG THE
TRADITIONAL RESPECTERS OF THE
TRANSITION PROCESS.
BUT I FOR ONE AM GRATEFUL, I
MEAN GRATEFUL, FOR THE
DISGRACEFUL MARKER THAT DONALD
TRUMP IS LEAVING FOR HISTORY.
THE MARKER THAT I PREDICTED HE
WOULD.
NEVER GIVING A CONCESSION
SPEECH.
NOT FACILITATING THE TRANSITION.
NOT ATTENDING THE INAUGURATION
OF JOE BIDEN.
NONE OF THOSE THINGS WILL
ENDANGER THIS COUNTRY IN ANY
WAY.
NONE OF THOSE THINGS WILL WORSEN
THE REPUTATION OF THIS COUNTRY
IN ANY WAY.
WHOSE REPUTATION COULD NOT BE
MORE DAMAGED INTERNATIONALLY
THAN IT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE HANDED
OVER THE PRESIDENCY TO THE
PERSON WHO CAME IN SECOND IN THE
VOTE.
DONALD TRUMP IS NOT TARNISHING
OUR INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION NOW
BY WHAT HE HAS DONE SINCE
ELECTION DAY.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR DONALD
TRUMP TO MAKE OUR INTERNATIONAL
REPUTATION ANY WORSE THAN HE HAS
ALREADY MADE IT FOR FOUR YEARS.
NO ONE IN THE WORLD IS SURPRISED
THAT DONALD TRUMP IS BEHAVING
BADLY.
ALL OF OUR MOST POWERFUL AND
IMPORTANT ALLIES ARE CALLING JOE
BIDEN AND CONGRATULATING HIM ON
HIS WIN.
TODAY ADDED TO THAT LIST WERE
THE LEADERS OF AUSTRALIA, JAPAN,
AND SOUTH KOREA CALLING IN THEIR
CONGRATULATIONS TO
PRESIDENT-ELECT OF THE UNITED
STATES JOE BIDEN.
SOUTH KOREA’S VERY EXISTENCE
DEPENDS ON THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
SOUTH KOREA DOES NOT FEAR DONALD
TRUMP’S WRATH ABOUT PLACING A
CONGRATULATORY CALL TO JOE BIDEN
BECAUSE SOUTH KOREA KNOWS IT’S
ALL OVER FOR DONALD TRUMP.
FIVE DAYS.
FIVE FULL DAYS AND NIGHTS OF
SILENCE FROM DONALD TRUMP.
THE MAN WHO WANTS TO HEAR HIS
OWN VOICE MORE THAN ANYONE ALIVE
HAS NOT ALLOWED YOU TO HEAR HIS
VOICE FOR FIVE DAYS AND NIGHTS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE
HISTORY OF HIS POLITICAL CAREER.
SILENCE.
THE SILENCE IS THE CONCESSION
SPEECH.
THE CONCESSION WAS NEVER GOING
TO BE WORDS.
NOT FROM DONALD TRUMP.
THE SILENCE IS THE CONCESSION
SPEECH.
TAKE IT FOR THE GIFT THAT IT IS.
FIVE FULL DAYS AND NIGHTS OF
YOUR LIFE WITHOUT THE SOUND OF
THAT VOICE.
IF YOU WERE DANCING IN THE
STREETS THIS WEEKEND, YOU SHOULD
STILL BE DANCING IN THE STREETS
BECAUSE NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED
SINCE THEN.
YES, DONALD TRUMP BEING
PRESIDENT IS DANGEROUS, BUT THAT
IS NOT A NEW DANGER.
AND I PROMISE, I’LL TELL YOU, AS
SOON AS I SEE SOMETHING
DANGEROUS HAPPEN IN THIS
TRANSITION.
140,000 PEOPLE A DAY GETTING
INFECTED WITH COVID-19 IS THE
REAL DANGER THIS COUNTRY IS
FACING.
NOT THE PETULANT PRESIDENT WHOSE
DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
NOW, MANY PEOPLE ARE SCARED BY
THINGS THAT THEY HAVEN’T SEEN
BEFORE.
THAT’S UNDERSTANDABLE.
BUT DON’T BE SCARED BY DONALD
TRUMP’S SILENCE.
IT IS THE SILENCE OF A TERRIFIED
MAN WHO IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO
RAISE MONEY ONLINE ON THE LIE
THAT HE HAS NOT YET LOST THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
IT IS THE SILENCE OF A MAN
CONSTANTLY SENDING OUT THE
NEEDIEST E-MAILS IN POLITICAL
HISTORY, WITH PATHETIC SUBJECT
LINES LIKE "I NEED YOU RIGHT
NOW."
ALL TO TRICK GULLIBLE PEOPLE OUT
OF THEIR MONEY.
IT IS THE SILENCE OF A MAN WHO
IS TERRIFIED OF WHAT HIS LIFE
WILL BECOME ON JANUARY 20th.
HE WILL SPEND NEXT YEAR AS A
DEFENDANT IN IMPORTANT CIVIL
LAWSUITS AGAINST HIM AND
POSSIBLY AS A CRIMINAL DEFENSE
IN NEW YORK STATE.
HE WILL LEAVE THE WHITE HOUSE
UNDER A CLOUD OF PARDONS FOR HIS
ASSOCIATES, FOR HIS CHILDREN,
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR
HIMSELF.
AND HE ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF
WEEKS LEFT TO TRY TO TRICK
