The White House is weighing a plan to dismiss Alexander Vindman from the National Security Council after he testified in President Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry, preparing to position the move as part of a broader effort to shrink the foreign policy bureaucracy, two people familiar with the matter said.
The White House intends to portray any house-cleaning as part of a downsizing of the NSC staff, not retaliation, according to the people.
Some of the officials being targeted for removal from the NSC would be reassigned because they’re perceived as being disloyal to the president, three people familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity owing to the sensitivity of personnel moves.
Senior officials were informed on Thursday that some staff would be leaving the White House, the people added. The moves have been in the works since at least last week and could come as soon as Friday.
Vindman has not been told of any change in his status, according to a person close to his legal team, and plans to show up for work until told otherwise. His twin, Yevgeny Vindman, also remains at the NSC and is not aware of any change in his status, that person added.

Ending a very good week for Trump.
Their status needs to change all right. Along with a few dozen other people.
This was a conspiracy... A BIG one.
A felony clinton administration would not have treated him so gently.
Rush is so funny whenever he says Vindman’s name.
Don’t worry about Lieutenant ColonelVindman. With his good looks and winning personality he’s sure to land on his feet.
I don’t think hanging on a petard is the Military’s way. I wonder if they still offer you a cigarette before yelling “ready, aim, fire”? Either way though, I’m good.
Good ol TRUMP!
Fort Polk, Louisiana. Top floor office with no air conditioning. Gators got yer Granny.
Vindeman should be facing a court marshal.
Bye. Bye, asshole.
Leesville is my home town, 5 mins from Ft. Polk. Some VIOLENT heat and humidity. I like your idea
Take away his pledge pin too.
So what are the odds that Vindman is fired before William O. Darby’s birthday the 8th—pretty good.
First Ranger to be awarded a Russian medal he was.
Don't do that.
He could put, he could put strychnine in the guacamole.
When the president said we would get tired of winning, he did not consider how thirsty we are.
Congrats!!! I was going to post this. You beat me to it.
I spent 36 years in. I have met too many such as LtCol. Vindman. Such parasites have always been present in the echelons of the Pentagon. Thus the phrase, Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon.
Such “men” despise hardened Combat Vets. They are wholly political animals. Well prepared to suck the penis of whomever necessary to promote themselves through the ranks. They are the antithesis of Blood and Guts Patton or Chesty Puller.
“Men” such as this were promoted by Obama. Men like Patton and Puller were Purged very early on in Obama’s administration.
If he violated the chain of command and leaked secure information outside .
... Then I want to see him court martialed and imprisoned in a Max security location for no less than 20 years. These treasonous bastard’s need to learn the fear of God because of what they’ve done to this nation.
He could land on his feet when they cut the noose too.
Not if the rope is short enough!
