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.”

I want him to send agencies to each state. Close the DC headquarters offices, sell the buildings, and get rid of the human leeches. Stop hoarding all the government spending wealth in NoVA and MD - ground zero for extremists.
Each state should benefit from government spending, jobs, and lobbying. If DC isn’t the central convenient government location, those swampers won’t WANT to move to the boondocks to take that lifetime job.

And what is it called when an officer leaks info from his high command and seeks to injure the person and policy of the commander in chief?”
Sedition.
Here’s an Ambassador Sondland, he’s gone.
Wait, you’re going to get rid of Sondland? Does he know?
No [laughing] Statistics have shown it’s best to let people go on a Friday, less chance of an incident.
I wished Trump had purged his administration as soon as he took office..
When I met Ted Cruz on the campaign trail, I said one thing:
“Personnel is policy. Fire everyone.”
>> He expressed gratitude to Mr. Trump “for having given me the opportunity to serve.”
FO, fraud.
Hasta la Vista baby.
Wray was recommended by Session and Rosenstein … that alone tells you all you need to know. If Trump is re-elected in November he will be gone shortly thereafter … rest assured.
More REAL WINNING!
After Beck’s latest vid if Wray hasn’t arrested Comey by Monday my guess is he’s looking for work by Wednesday.
If you haven’t watched that vid you should because he makes it pretty clear he fired Comey for trying to extort him to keep the Ukraine War secret.
Won’t happen. He was doing the DOD’s bidding, keeping the Ukraine War funded (illegally). Sure he broke laws but “he was just following orders”.
If you haven;t figured it out, Barr is there to PREVENT these “investigations”.
Watch Beck’s latest “Ukraine:The Final Piece and you will know.
He can remove all democrats from all positions he has oversight over, and they don't have no credibility to complain about it.
Return to your liberal north east you hack. This is where you fit in biggly.
Yeah, feel the BURN biotch
It ain’t over until the Fat Lady sings....
Maybe those wheels are turning in the Pentagon.
I don’t think the Pentagon likes back-stabbers, either.
IIRC, Obama fired an entire group of US high up positions. Attorneys General? Ambassadors??? Something.
