Every time somebody resigns in protest they clear the way for another Trump loyalist to be installed in the newly vacated position.

“You recited that same oath on July 23, 2019, when you were sworn in as Secretary of Defense. On Monday, June 1, 2020, I believe that you violated that oath,” Miller wrote

That´s it in a nutshell. Esper should resign, or be impeached.

It should be clear at this point that you can’t change or constrain Trump from the inside. The best you can do is deny the Trump Admin using your reputation to get support for their abuses.

Like Trump is going to be bothered by a deep-stater resigning… he has enough willing lackeys to fill the federal government twice over, is not like any qualifications are needed other than owning a red MAGA hat.
