Army Lt. Col Alexander Vindman was escorted off the White House grounds and dismissed from the National Security Council Friday afternoon, according to reports. His twin brother Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, who served as a lawyer on the NSC was also fired and left with Alex.
President Trump continued to drain the swamp as of this Friday he fired Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, just hours after firing Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the National Security Council official who testified at House impeachment proceedings against the commander-in-chief.
Like Vindman, Sondland testified at the impeachment proceedings.
“I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement, according to The New York Times.
The dual firings came days after Trump was acquitted in the Senate on charges that he abused his power by exerting pressure on Ukraine to open up politically charged investigations.
Both Sondland and Vindman testified about the interactions they had in spring and summer 2019 regarding the Trump administration’s policy toward Ukraine.
Nancy Pelosi decided to give her statement about the latest removal in Trump’s administration:
Lieutenant Colonel Vindman has proven to be an American patriot: on the battlefield when he earned a Purple Heart, and in the House trial when he spoke truth to power. His brave testimony showed America that right still matters.
“President Trump is impeached forever. The shameful firing of Colonel Vindman was a clear and brazen act of retaliation that showcases the President’s fear of the truth. The President’s vindictiveness is precisely what led Republican Senators to be accomplices to his cover-up. The firing of this patriotic soldier is a sad and shameless loss for America’s security.
“History will remember Lieutenant Colonel Vindman as an American hero.”
The moves come just two days after Trump was acquitted in the Senate on two articles of impeachment brought by the House last year over his dealings with Ukraine.

Well said.
Stuff it sideways, Nanzi! Your coup is falling apart at the seams now. :)

nancee had no problems with that.
Hehe, wouldn’t that be great?!!
That’s an insult to Emperor Palpatine. He wasn’t that grossly incompetent.
Pelosi is not responsible for conditions in SF They elect mayors and city council members to run the city and they get the government they elect.
Pelosi is much more psychotic and delusional than anyone I have worked with. Indeed, she would be impossible to work with.
She is a complete psychopath.
And I mean that as literally as is possible.
a play on Thor’s Hammer?
Dear Nancy,
There’s an old saying:
If you are going to try to kill the king,
You had BETTER KILL the king.
They didn’t.
Why in God’s Name would anyone think the clowns would keep their jobs?
as an aside, from someone who’s worked in the community,
What is that Pillsbury Dough-boy fat-F-er doing wearing the Crossed Rifles, the wings, the CIB and the Tab??
LMAO, I actually see a strong resemblance between the Vile Botoxian and Palpatine!
Disgusting POS helped set the stage and led the whole state off the cliff.
And also in honor of Grumpy Greta, to help reduce the us govt’s carbon footprint.
Doesn’t Adam Schiff-for-Brains have any openings in his office for these losers? After all, he’s already hired all their buddies from the NSC to work for him.
BS Newsome and others before tore up the city with sanctuary, shot on the street the cops were told to stand down. The CITY appointed weak sheriffs and Harris as DA., the PEOPLE have now elected a weak DA. None of this by pelosi who basically does nothing but slough contracts with Feinstein.
