Of all the things to object to... This?
It's so silly! No matter what the panel concludes, the current Trump regime will just ignore it anyway. Just like they ignore the IPCC or polling or basic economics.
It'd be like the administration objecting to a panel being formed about vaccines, pollution, corruption, or authoritarianism. Clearly, they don't care so why bother? It just draws attention to their incompetence.
Just another loud demonstration of their incompetence, actually. Otherwise they wouldn't have objected.
