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.

Pelosi is a lying hypocritical -itch who should have Obama’s pen and phone policies shoved up her...
redacted
Pelosi is pure evil. She sold her soul a long time ago.
Hey Bit*h, you’re about ready to lose the House and your Speakership!
Go get a BOTOX injection!
So many traitors and seditionists in government at all levels...so little time. Go President Trump!!!
He disobeyed his chain of command and colluded with a foriegn power against the commander in chief. He has dual citizenship with Ukraine.
He was not on the phone call and all his “evidence” is 2nd and 3rd hand info...
How does he even have a security clearance?
“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.”
Only three years late. Since he’s gone this far he should fire them all. They’ll probably impeach him for firing one. Impeachment for one or twenty, what’s the difference?
We are in interesting times.
President trump, is right to clean house!
My apologies President Trump.
Although this is necessary and needed, this is not “draining the swamp”.
AMERICA PAY ATTENTION! The $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional totalitarian federal government is now the REAL enemy of America.
Draining the swamp is dismantling the 80%+ unconstitutional portion of this beast that the Left has built for over 100 years. It is time to burn the 80% unconstitutional portion to the ground and make America FREE again. Nothing else will restore out Free Constitutional Republic.
Look, thank God we have a fighter in the White House. But we need to reestablish the Rule of Law of the U.S. Constitution in our land once again. As great as Trump is, we are not a nation to be ruled by men, but by the Supreme Law of the Land, the U.S. Constitution.
DRAIN THE SWAMP BY GUTTING the unconstitutional agencies, cabinet posts, and bureaucracies that are killing our country - slowly but surely. IT IS TIME!!! It is either we take them down or they will take us down. Trump or no Trump, this must happen.
Too bad Trump can’t fire Pelosi. That would be a most enjoyable dream come true.
Democrat congress impeaches republican president for using executive powers.
Did any rational person think Trump would continue to employ spies and liars who attempted to cut his throat....drain the swamp...
President Trump is impeached forever..
Sorta like saying Your fired forever, and the guy is still the CEO, right Nancy?
Impeached forever???
That’s not what history will show.
History will show, “Acquitted Forever”.
Nancy thinks that people will repeat her words and thoughts eternally, but, that’s not how things work.
With Nancy, a person accused of murdering someone and later found innocent, would forever carry the murder accusation on his/her record.
Acquittal Trumps over the accusation, Nancy. False accusations don’t last any longer than the instant the case is over.
Does Trump tell Nancy who to fire or hire?
its going to take a decade to get rid of them all...
end the pensions in favor of 401Ks and I think we'd get many of the idiots and leftists to move along.....
I've just lost a lot of respect for the military system that promotes such lightweights...
What does the gavel have to do with thunder and lightning?
