An Army officer who played a high-profile role in President Trump’s impeachment proceedings is retiring from the military over alleged “bullying” and “retaliation” by the president, his lawyer said Wednesday. Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who served as a national security aide at the White House until earlier this year and was up for promotion to colonel, will leave the military instead, his lawyer, David Pressman, said in a statement. “Through a campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation, the president of the United States attempted to force LTC Vindman to choose: Between adhering to the law or pleasing a President. Between honoring his oath or protecting his career. Between protecting his promotion or the promotion of his fellow soldiers,” Pressman said. “LTC Vindman’s patriotism has cost him his career.”

He should have been fired. Amazing he pulled that crap against his CIC and then allowed to retire - whining the whole way.

How many military officers has President Trump fired compared to that Soetoro guy?

Vindman is an egotistical nutburger.

Exactly. Instead of being held accountable for his accusations, he gets to retire and enjoy a lifetime of R&R.
He should be grateful that things didn’t go the other way.

If I heard a Lt. Col whining about bullying, I’d fire him too.

Fat little wuss.

“LTC Vindman’s patriotism has cost him his career.”

Patriotism is "love of the Fatherland".
Vindman's Fatherland is Ukraine. That's where his patriotism lies.

It should have cost him his career a long time ago.

Vindman already chose: between honor, and lying to help the left sabotage his CIC.

He chose to enlist on the side of evil. He should not be allowed to resign. He should be court-martialed, stood against a wall, and shot.

He's dumb like a fox.

Money says he's banking on a future lawsuit which will award him retroactive back pay and bennies...under a Democratic controlled government.

A ‘soviet union’ product allowed to come into our nation and play communism in our government. Ship him back. He must have been fully indoctrinated attending Harvard.

He will be on the board of Netflix or some other leftist corporation and be hired by one of the many “anti-Trump” think tanks in DC. I bet he triples his salary at least.

Book it.

True, but we do not need Ukrainian patriots in OUR government.
