"Esper also plans to help Congress draft legislation to strip military bases of Confederate names, which could further alienate him from Trump."

So Trump hasn't had a national security briefing since the beginning of October. And now there's no SecDef?
What could go wrong? |

| Per NBC, Esper has not resigned but has just drafted the normal undated letter of resignation for the next president to accept or deny. |

Isn’t it standard practice for them to resign before the néw guy takes over? |

No. They wait until the next CIC is in office. |

No, they draft them earlier. But it's not usually leaked like this. The leak is concerning. |

Well, considering the fact that Trump is actively trying to suppress the vote for millions of absentee voters (and you know military service folks make up a bunch of that group, there will be anger.
He would probably rather resign as a form of protest than deal with the resulting $h1tshow. |
