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".

Were you in the military? This guy was relieved of duty. I believe he will either resign under threat of court martial or if he doesn’t resign he will be court martialed, reduced in rank and handed his walking papers.
Any officer relieved of duty for cause has effectively seen his career ended.
I think a rotation to a base in the Artic or Antartic would be fitting shoveling penquin poop.
Perhaps - but “Ambassador” Sondland is also being recalled...
The President left them in because they could do no real damage and the optics of removing them earlier would have been touted as “more coverup”...I expect a substantial purge and also sense the President is still leaving a lot unsaid because he doesn’t want to taint any of the Barr/Durham investigations underway - just as beck pointed out yesterday - as our aid to Ukraine was being held up and Trump was asking for more substantial looking into corruption, the IMF was deciding on a $5 Billion loan to the Ukraine but wanted a corrupt bank (used by Obama to “bail out” the bank, owned by another gangland Oligarch, and $1.8 Billion disappeared right after deposit) to be raided and get the records to insure the loan wouldn’t also be misused...the bank was raided and assets/records seized and the IMF released the loan - and President Trump released the aid...
Seems like the whole “whistleblower” scam may have been put together to hide massive corruption by Obama Admin in the Ukraine...
Terminated early from a plum assignment is a kiss of death. He was fired, sent packing early and that is a very bad thing for his career, as in he has no career.
