Impeachment Witness Alexander Vindman Will Be Transferred From the White House
NYT ^ | Feb. 7, 2020, 11:34 a.m. ET | By Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker

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. “Lieutenant Colonel Vindman and his twin brother, right?” the president said at one point during a rambling hourlong venting session at the White House. “We had some people that — really amazing.”

“”Ship him to Antarctica.”

“Hell, no. Then he’ll qualify for the extremely rare Antarctica Service Medal. Send him to Fort Polk or Fort Drum. Maybe Fort Irwin or Camp Humphreys.””

Hell, no...Send him to Fort Leavenworth!

Books, books, books....

Right. That fool with the white cover "Anonymous: A Warning" best seller set the tone. All the traitors and leakers and plants can cash in.

The snarky Vindman's book cover would have him in full ribbon covered uniform looking toward the American flag with George Washington in prayer on one side and Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments looking down approvingly from the sky above.

Adak? I’ll buy that. Years ago I spent a couple years playing God with majors and Lt Col’s careers. There was a base ops job empty at Wurtsmith AFB MI that encouraged a few ROAD officers to drop their papers!

TRADOC? Yeah, that could suck pretty bad. Put him in a room to write doctrine 8 hours a day. That could be a fate worse than death. However, Kansas City is real close by. My recommendations are removed from civilized society which is a terrible fate all its own.

Vindeman will be tasked with leading an expedition to inspect the atartica boundary markers. 😆
