Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who made waves as a witness during the Trump impeachment proceedings, was fired Friday by the National Security Council and escorted off of the White House grounds, Fox News has confirmed.
Vindman was on detail to the National Security Council from the Department of Defense, and it is expected he will return there. It comes just two days after President Trump was acquitted in the Senate on the impeachment charges brought by the House last year over his dealings with Ukraine.

“Fired”? Dismissed and reassigned perhaps. What about his civil service brother?

He wasn't really fired. His job was a rotation job...and the assignment was supposed to simply be a learning experience.
Nothing more
...and he was scheduled to leave and return to the Defense Department from whence he came. So this is not big deal....and the media is just trying to arouse "the deplorable".

Oh man. Where’s the video when you want it? I’d love to see that frog doing the frog march.

Very soon, we’re going to discover Vindman’s nefarious association with Eric Ciaramella.

Best Part
Vindman’s twin brother, Yevgeny Vindman, was also escorted from the White House Friday, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News. He was working as an attorney for the NSC. The New York Times first reported that Vindman’s brother was also fired and removed at the same time.

Exactly. Enough is enough with this BS. It’s never going to end unless indictments are handed down. What kind of crap is this where the people elect a POTUS and that POTUS must be approved by these elitist scumbags otherwise the justice system will be abused to bring him down?

Hopefully he is also referred to the Justice Department for investigation as to whether he broke any federal laws relating to national security or otherwise.

What I find strange is he bears a close resemblance to traitor and freak Bradley Manning. I really wonder, no joke, if they are related.

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...
