Could Biden hire Pilger and Esper ?

As transition consultants? I think he should just to freak out Trump and Barr.

6. Esper was an asskissing Trump sycophant

Now, he is trying to revise history. Not only would I not bring him on to the transition, I would be fitting him For a prison suit.

He gave trump everything he wanted, Trump was fond of calling him Yesper. Once he thought Trump would lose the election he started to think of his lobbying career and went into hiding.

No profile in courage is Esper and he should not be rewarded in any way

8. From the Post article

But It’s not like he hasn’t said the things Trump wanted to hear. And the fact that Esper wants to distance himself from that now says plenty about how productive he thinks it has been

12. Piliger is a Profile in Courage Esper was Trumps Yesper

Two totally different views. Piliger took a principled stand, Esper is trying to revise history for his next job. They should be treated very differently.
