Lt Col Vindman removed from his post at White House Nat'l Security Council-he's still in Army though


@sfpelosi
Since he can no longer operate charities that bilk veterans, Draft Dodger Don is marking Veterans Day 2019 by firing a patriot in RETALIATION for Congressional testimony about Trump’s #AbuseOfPower.

“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…

...The national security adviser said Vindman, who currently serves as the council’s Director for European Affairs, will be removed as a part of the White House’s “streamlining” efforts.

“My understanding is he’s–that Colonel Vindman is detailed from the Department of Defense,” O’Brien said. “So everyone who’s detailed at the NSC, people are going to start going back to their own departments and we’ll bring in new folks.”

When Brennan asked O’Brien to confirm that the decision is not retaliation against Vindman, whom Trump has baselessly accused of being a “Never Trumper,” the national security adviser’s response was that he personally had never retaliated against anyone.”

I think he may find the command of an infantry battalion a bit of relief for now.
