Per TPM: Lt Col Vindman will be removed from his post at the WH NSC

[Leghorn21]

As expected, retaliation.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who gave a bombshell
testimony in the House impeachment investigation
last month on President Donald Trump’s Ukraine
scheme, will be removed from his post at the White
House National Security Council.

“On Sunday, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who gave a bombshell testimony in the House impeachment investigation last month on President Donald Trump’s Ukraine scheme, will be removed from his post at the White House National Security Council.”

That’s O’Brien in the photo

1. Give him Bolton's book deal.

[Frustratedlady]

2. Well, that should put the fear of the devil into the others who are to testify.

What a rotten *(%&$$! Trump must be removed quickly and the others restored to their posts. Enuf of this crap!

5. Question is: How? Should not even be there in the first place. It makes a mockery of our

'constitutional republic'.

3. Not loyal to Trump. Typical dictatorship behavour.

Besides I'm sure Putty is happy.

4. patriot and hero. nt

6. A partner in a boutique law firm is deciding to remove an honest war hero

from the NSC. who do we call to protest?

[Midnight Writer]

7. That should be a lesson to some of these Deep State Liberal scum to keep their mouths shut.

Another reason we have laws protecting whistle blowers and against intimidating witnesses.

8. Vindman may be the "whistleblower"?

Although he does have first-hand information, since he listened in on the call.

Or perhaps he knows who the whistleblower is?

10. There will be absolutely NO.....

honest people allowed in the White House keeping an eye on His Assholiness! Only toadies, sycophants, brown nosers, and ass-kissers allowed within the hallowed halls of The People's House during the reign of CaliguDon the first.

11. Retaliation lawsuit upcoming

At least he can cash that check

[NCjack]

12. IMO, Trump will also go after his retirement benefits. It will take a DEM prez and

congress to make the lt.col. whole again.

[luvtheGWN]

14. He hasn't been discharged.

He'll be transferred to some other post, right?

[OhNo-Really]

17. War College next year read this somewhere

“His heritage gave Colonel Vindman, who is fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, unique insight into Mr. Trump’s pressure campaign; on numerous occasions, Ukrainian officials sought him out for advice about how to deal with Mr. Giuliani.”

13. presidents come and presidents go

but honor and integrity never fade.

I salute him.

[Thekaspervote]

16. This!! I'm sure he understood that his post was probably in jeopardy and did it anyway

Duty called!! I salute him as well

15. I wonder if there is a way that the Trump administration or Trump himself can be charged with

retaliation on a witness.

If so, charges need to be filed immediately.

Don't let these treasonous MF'ers gain an inch.

[triron]

20. Yep. Witness retaliation. 20 years in the pen.

23. Then it needs to be investigated and charges brought.

No more leniency with this scum.

I hope someone takes up the case.

[Nitram]

18. Which is what will happen to the whistleblower if he is positively identified.

The GOP is corrupt to the core.

19. Of course he is to be removed. An officer with integrity cannot be allowed in the inner workings of

Of course he is to be removed.

An officer with integrity cannot be allowed in the inner workings of this WH.

21. Whoever ordered that- is a felon.

Retaliation affecting one’s job is a 10-year felony.

18 USC 1513(e).

Who ordered it?

[triron]

24. Yes I posted a thread on this.
