President Trump and his aides wasted little time opening a campaign of retribution against those he blames for his impeachment, firing on Friday two of the most prominent witnesses in the inquiry against him barely 48 hours after the Senate acquitted the president.
Emboldened by his victory and determined to strike back, Mr. Trump fired Gordon D. Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, within hours of the White House dismissing Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, a decorated Iraq war veteran who was a Ukraine expert on the National Security Council. Both officials testified to a House committee about the president’s efforts to pressure Ukraine to help him against his domestic political rivals.
“I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Mr. Sondland said in a statement just hours after Colonel Vindman’s dismissal. He expressed gratitude to Mr. Trump “for having given me the opportunity to serve.”

Thank you for your service.
Both Vindman’s were escorted out of the White House today.

Ambassadors are the personal representative of the POTUS and serve at his pleasure.
If that be the case, he should be willing to testify against those traitors.
Hopefully, Trump goes scorched Earth on the criminal bastards.
After Obama treated Ukraine so poorly it really is shocking to see these Ukrainian-Americans play for Team Democrat. It reminds of Democrat Jews a bit.
I agree. Gordon D. Sondland was far from the worst. He was mostly confused, inept and out of his depth. He was from the private sector, a big donor.... IIRC to the Trump inauguration committee. His reward was this ambassadorship. IOW he was not a careerist in gov’t like snake Vindman who got the heave ho today.
Anyway, hasta la vista, baby!

I wish he would purchase Greenland and send their asses there!! Alaska is GREAT, Northern Nebraska, Mojave Desert, Gitmo just to name a few!!! The entire government needs to be split up and OUT of DC!!!
Yeah.
But about the "wetting" ---Vindman was the leaker, so no need for more now.
Trump should announce: "About all this firing and the coming federal felony charges, only the guilty need be afraid. The innocent are in do danger of being grabbed and handcuffed shortly."
(Pandemonium ensues as dozens and dozens of staffers in White House, State Dept. and other offices panic and claw each other to get through the exits to flee.)
in no danger.... typo
He can decertify the unions, they were created by a JFK EO.
Ska-rew the thieving government unions.
The Left is going to scream bloody murder about the president’s “retribution” for his impeachment, when they’d really better hope to hell their buddies aren’t executed for treason.
It’s already started...
Pelosi on WH removing Vindman from NSC:
“I’m stunned by it. I’ll talk to my colleagues. They have concerns about (President Trump’s) interventions with the military.”
DRAIN THE sWAMP!!!!
Yes. And also defense secretary who provided cover for the fired Vindman.
