Biden Team Snubs Outgoing Pentagon Chief in Transition Spat

President-elect Joe Biden’s team denied Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller’s request for transition space at the Pentagon after he leaves office on Wednesday, a courtesy normally extended at the Defense Department.

The Biden transition told Miller’s team that it had denied his request for transition office space for himself and a handful of aides, in a reversal from past practice, according to a senior Defense Department official.

...

Biden’s team didn’t give a reason for the denial, though the official said Miller’s team believed it was payback over the contention by Biden and his staff that the Trump administration sought to delay and obstruct the transition at the Defense Department. Early in January, incoming White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the transition team was encountering “intransigence” in the department and Office of Management and Budget, as well as “other places that we’ve had ongoing concern.”

2. Payback is hell.

3. If Miller was un-helpful during the Transition

Why the hell would he think the Biden Administration would want him to stick around??

Didn't he say last week that he couldn't wait to leave his job??

4. Awesome 😎

Miller is a class a ass clown. Didn’t he just say that he can’t wait to leave? Good riddance to bad rubbish.

(CNN)Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, who will leave office in less than a week stated that he 'cannot wait to leave this job,' according to a transcript released by the Department of Defense.

5. Is Ellis gone yet?

6. He is a security risk and a mole. He leaked info to Devin Nunes, and hid

the transcripts of Trump's corrupt Ukraine phone calls on the super-secret server. He's also the one who carried out Trump's placement of Michael Ellis as NSA head attorney in the 11th hour over the protest just about everyone. He also gave that incoherent interview recently in which he praised Russia and said, as another poster pointed out, that he couldn't wait to leave. Who would have kept a guy like that around a moment longer than necessary?

7. Exactly. It is not "payback". It is basic security. These guys are not loyal to our country.

8. Good

It's not like Miller (did Donnie have an unusual number of Millers working for him? I get them mixed up) was there long enough to settle in anyway.

9. Can't grant Biden anything

but then has the nerve to ask for something?

10. The Biden team should set up a folding card table & chair in a parking lot.

With an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper with his name on it. Or they could reassign him every two week to some place new, bounce him all over the country until he quits. Never let him get settled.

11. Miller is a security risk

And they probably have inside intel that there may still be people in the DOD who are up to no good. They probably have not been able to cover-up every nefarious and criminal act yet.
