Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel Discussed As Possible Trump Transition Chair (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/peter-thiel-donald-trump_us_5824cf3ae4b0f616ef301691)

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel is being considered as a possible replacement to lead Donald Trump’s transition team, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
