Technically, yes.

However, Orthodox Christmas ain’t until January 7th, so they’ll be working straight through our Christmas.

What’s the big deal? Everybody knows the Department of Defense shuts down for two weeks every year for the holidays.

Miller said “After the mutually-agreed upon holiday pause, which begins tomorrow, we will continue with the transition and rescheduled meetings from today.”

But Abraham, at the press briefing soon after, flatly denied that there was any agreement about a break.

Gosh-golly and gee-whillikers.

Which side should I believe?

Team Biden has been flexing this week as Trump’s base of power crumbles. This petulant bs from the Trumpers gets leaked immediately to the press.

In a statement to TPM and others after that report, Miller said “After the mutually-agreed upon holiday pause, which begins tomorrow, we will continue with the transition and rescheduled meetings from today.”

But Abraham, at the press briefing soon after, flatly denied that there was any agreement about a break.

“Let me be clear: There was no mutually agreed-upon holiday break,” he said.

Miller: “I meant that the holiday pause was mutually-agreed upon by the members of my team.”

Shorter Trumpers: “Well, that was the plan, until they blabbed it to everyone.” (And we would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for those pesky people who think this stuff matters.)

This post election Trump business is a tap dance. In many ways, probably the only way that the NPD-ridden Trump could be handled at this point.
