I was wondering if he did because Trump actually was asking him to do just that.

Which means he will likely wait until Trump announces something and he will resign publicly and say why.

Like you, I believe that Espy was requested to do just that, and he said "I'm gone."

I don't. I'm not saying it will happen. I hope the military has enough backbone to honor their oaths. We shall see.

Erik Prince's private militia? They didn't wear any name tags or insignia. But they seemed more than ready to attack whoever they were told to attack.

There are a lot of people who would gladly fight for Trump. And Trump would gladly use them.
