Well I can say for sure that Esper is done.Yes his election was legit regardless of the conspiracies. Yes, there are many treasonous people in the ranks and at all levels. Are there enough who would resist a coup? Maybe, but it gets really bloody at that point, which can then go in many directions. Unknown unknowns kind of thing. Dust settles and we may need to learn a different language. Whatever the case, we are on the brink of a very different world. Tipping point is past, it's coming. Only question is just how bizzare it's going to be.
I agree with his position but he should have delivered that message in private to the President and simultaneously offered his resignation. Anything else is dishonorable and unprofessional. I cannot imagine he still has the confidence of the Executive.
