Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, 58, slammed his former boss 75-year-old President Donald Trump in his new book, “A Sacred Oath,” claiming for his brief tenure as Defense Secretary he resisted Trump attempts to impose dictatorship on the United States. Esper served as Defense Secretary from July 23, 2019 to Nov. 9, 2020, fired by Trump when he figured out Esper actively worked against Trump’s reelection bid. Esper claimed that during the summer riots in Washington, D.C., Trump asked his if the National Guard could shot at the legs of looters, rioters and arsonists. “I said that I would never do anything illegal, immoral or unethical,” Esper said, yet his loyalty to Trump was clearly a covert mutiny, working with other never-Trumpers in the Republican Party to prevent Trump’s reelection. What kind of ethics is that to take a Cabinet post to sabotage your boss.?
Esper talks about not doing anything illegal, immoral and unethical, yet he works covertly with other anti-Trump partisans to prevent Trump from a second term. What could be more unethical, illegal or immoral than taking as Cabinet position when you despise the commander-in-chief? Esper has nothing bad to say about 79-year-old Joe Biden who’s gotten the U.S. into the most costly war in modern U.S. history. Biden decisions on foreign policy have destroyed U.S. Russian relations, damaged severely U.S. –Chinese relations and harmed U.S. national security. Spending $33 billion on the Ukraine War, creating a proxy war against the Russian Federation, Biden has put the U.S. and European Union into the most dangerous place since the end of WW II. Never before has the U.S. and EU come so close to WW III with the Russian Federation, once thought unthinkable.
Yet to Esper, it’s all Trump’s fault when, in fact, Trump kept the U.S. out of another costly foreign war and had the U.S. economy and stock market humming along during his four years. Esper accepts a Cabinet position and joins the anti-Trump movement to save the world from a dangerous menace. U.S. Congress and media have shifted slightly away from Trump to demonize Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whatever was said by the U.S. media about Trump is now directed toward Putin as the personification of all evil. Listen to Ukraine’s 44-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky call Putin to the second coming of Adolf Hilter. “But you suggest that you were being asked to,” Fox New Brett Baier asked Esper, referring to doing anything illegal, unethical or immoral. “It was being suggested by the President,” Esper said, remaining more murky than an Irish bog.
Esper’s decision to accept a Cabinet position knowing he would work tirelessly behind the scenes to sabotage Trump’s reelection bid could not be more unethical, illegal or immoral. “And we successfully pushed back on that. We, being Atty. Gen. Bill Barr, Gen Miley, myself and walked him back from the notion,” Esper said. So Esper took a Cabinet post for the purpose of pushint back against Trump’s policies, both at home and abroad. What could be more unethical, illegal or immoral than that? What outrage that Baier didn’t ask Esper why he accepted a Cabinet post for a president he believed was a threat to American democracy. Esper, House Democrats, blamed Trump for the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, without any proof that the president participated in the planning or orchestration of the criminals that breached the Capitol. Baier had plenty to chances to ask Esper tough questions but didn’t.
Baier did ask Esper whether he thought Trump was a threat to U.S. democracy, essentially making him the evil dictator. “Do you think Donald Trump was a threat to democracy?” Baier asked Esper. “I think that given the events of Jan. 6 given how he’s undermined the election results, he incited people to come to D.C., stirred then up that morning and failed to call them off,” Esper told Baier. Imagine that, after the president was acquitted Feb. 13, 2020 in the U.S. Senate for “Incitement of Insurrection,” Esper convicted Trump in his own mind of high-crimes and misdemeanors. “So yes?” asked Brett. “What else can you conclude Bret?” Esper asked convinced in his own mind that Trump was a threat to democracy. Baier, while treading softly, got Esper to admit he harbored extreme prejudice against the commander-in-chief, something making Esper an undeniable traitor.
Esper was no patriot denouncing Trump while he worked as Defense Secretary for a little over a year. He showed that the deep state comes in many forms, including renegade Cabinet members that should have been charged with treason. Esper did only heroic things for the Democrat Party looking to sabotage Trump’s 2020 campaign. Esper represents the perfect example of a confederate, pushed into a position for one purpose, to sabotage Trump reelection campaign. Esper has zero facts that Trump participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots other than delivering a speech. Trump’s Jan. 6 speech at the Ellipse in the morning asked no one to break the law, only peacefully protest. So when Esper plays judge, jury and executioner, he reveals himself as a planted mole designed to work covertly for Trump’s 2020 election defeat. Baier exposed that the unethical, immoral and illegal one was Esper, not Trump.
