Impeachment Witness Alexander Vindman Will Be Transferred From the White House

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.”

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.

I’ve never worked in such areas of government, but I am still amazed that such treacherous, Democrat operatives and John Brennan spies still are working so close to the President - especially after the coup attempt and attacks of the last 3 years.

Barrow is way too comfortable (been there). I was thinking more along the lines of the Aleutians.

Probably above his paygrade but "no neck" should strive to make a success of it.

Transfer him to a dark, windowless basement without wireless access, flickering flourescent lights, and a creaking, unbalanced chair.
