Mark Esper said both Vindmans are welcomed back in the Pentagon

[question everything]

Talked against retribution. He’d better watch out. The thug will fire him with a flick of his fingers.

1. It's hard to figure Esper out.

Every once in a while he does the right thing.

[elleng]

2. Yes, said that had been 'announced,' at least re: Alex.

[Leghorn21]

3. Oh hell yeah, q - Esper just got himself the stink eye from dotard didn't he

GOOD

TAKE EM ALL OUT, DONNIE

4. This makes more sense vs the "reality show" news media headlines

Just like he couldn't "fire" Yovanovich (but just reassign from the Ambassadorship), anyone who is a civil servant can't be summarily "fired" on a whim. In the case of the NSC, those positions are "appointments" that they apply for (and for civil servants, as details from somewhere else). And in their cases, they are different from Sondland who WAS a non-FTE (non-civil service) "appointee" (Schedule C) who could be "fired".

5. Esper had better watch out.

[Ohiogal]

6. Bye Bye Esper.

Donnie will order for you to be “taken out”.

[Arazi]

7. That was stated 12/16/19, pre-acquittal. All bets are off now that #Traitor is unleashed

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Until both resign their Commissions,

they should be full time Officers. Esper is just blowing smoke up his ass.

[Marcuse]

9. It could get worse.
