The White House plans to transfer Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, whose testimony in the House impeachment hearings infuriated President Trump and his allies, out of the National Security Council staff as early as Friday, two senior administration officials said.
It was not immediately clear where he would next be sent within the Defense Department, one administration official said, but Colonel Vindman is on active duty in the military.
The action comes just days after Mr. Trump was acquitted in a Senate impeachment trial that turned in part on the testimony of Colonel Vindman and other administration officials who described a campaign to pressure Ukraine into announcing corruption investigations into former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and other Democrats.
Mr. Trump made clear as recently as Thursday his personal antipathy for Colonel Vindman, who oversaw American policy toward Ukraine on the National Security Council staff and whose twin brother, Yevgeny Vindman, works as a lawyer for the N.S.C.

Put him on mess hall duty in Libya.
Today I settled all the family business...
Not transferred...FIRED. Then interrogated. And hopefully, arrested. And his brother, too. Please, can we truly FIGHT for once?
Hell retire & go to CNN
I don’t care where he goes as long as he has 0.0% chance to sue the government and we end up paying the fat little price a settlement for wrongful-something. Get rid of him but do it strictly by the book.
I’m not sure, but I think this might be an Impeachable Offense.
I’m sure Benedict McRomney will be issuing a Statement soon.
Definitely Fort Drum, no place I hated more than being stationed there.
Ft Wainwright makes more sense... you want him to drop his papers and retire. Drum is almost commuting distance.
Stick him in the broom closet, and have him type out supply request for TP.
No demotion or rank/pay...just a job change.
How about “Latrine inspector at camp Gitmo”
Somebody check his Body Fat ...
I vote Adak
or Greenland
I was going to suggest Greenland but Barrow is OK.
I think his transfer should be to the gallows, with a quick stopover at court where he’s found guilty of treason.
Give him a PT test and a weigh-in, that ought to take care of things.
yep
the terrain ahead is now clear. counteroffensive
operation bagration
Tug Hill Plateau, Not nice there today.
Benghazi, they need someone to wash dishes.
