super excited to hear this but, someone correct me if I’m wrong about Esper; originally I thought he was pushing back on trump wanting to pardon those 3 soldiers and he only asked for the resignation after finding out the guy lied.
I think esper’s a good guy and I know he’s a classmate of Pompeo but I just recall reading he wasn’t for the pardon
Maybe he wasn't, but Trump doesn't appear to worry about people disagreeing with him. When he makes his decision, though, he obviously expects his subordinates to abide by that decision. SECNAV must not have received that memo.
it looks to me like guy made a deal with Potusthrough back channel. News comes out that trump is backing off.
then Chief finds out about the deal and fires the guy
no idea where esper stands but this is not Trump firing the guy. It’s Esper
