And the demodrones are already wailing “WHISTLEBLOWER RETALIATION!” Uh, no, removal of an untrusworthy traitorous POS is NOT retaliation.

BTW, Does Booting Alex Vindman mean that he is OUT of government service? Or does he simply lose his White House inside clearance but get to keep his job and salary?

Due to lies from the MSM, it’s sad that this even has to be explained.

He’s military. He should be charged with insubordination and have his rank busted. Then have him run a program with people under him, going over his head, outside the chain of command complaining about his management style. He obviously needs to relearn this lesson.

Still in the army as far as I know. Stuck at O-5 for the remainder of his career.

I imagine he is just being transferred back to the Pentagon. It would take a lot more to kick him out and take away his salary.

He’s going to be quite miserable there as I understand it. He cooked his own goose as his peers won’t want anything to do with him.

More stupidity from the Democrats

They will try to nail Trump with retribution, despite the fact that this Vindman puke was due to rotate out to a new billet in a month or two

No worries, President Trump can just task the Army with a nice little investigation of the facts of the case.

Be careful what you wish for is my advice. The UCMJ is no friend to either Vindman brother at this point

He was scheduled to go to the Army War College. I am hoping that gets cancelled.

RE: I imagine he is just being transferred back to the Pentagon. It would take a lot more to kick him out and take away his salary.

That’s what I thought. The moment you work for the Federal government, it looks like you have a job and salary for life no matter how corrupt and incompetent you are. Some Cases in point:

1) Marie Yovanovich: Fired from her ambassadorship to Ukraine. She was still in the Diplomatic corp and still has a teaching job at at Georgetown. She announced her retirement a few weeks ago, probably with full retirement benefits.

2) So-called whistleblower ( for the dems of course ), Eric Ciaramela, left the CIA to work for the NSC, and then was kicked out for leaking sensitive information to the media. NO PUNISHMENT. He was simply transferred back to the CIA and eventually worked in the Obama White House. This man became the leaker that caused the entire impeachment hoax. He’s still in government last I heard.

3) Lois Lerner — the infamous IRS director who was caught using the agency to target conservatives. She was formally charged with contempt of Congress ( what does that even mean? ). Result: She got to keep her job till retirement. Her retirement included a 6 figure a year pension.

What about Gordon Sondland? He was fired too. Is he still in government?

Vindman should be court martialed.

The rules for military are different, because they fall under the UCMJ and can be court-martialed.

But yeah, it takes a lot of work to get someone in the federal government kicked out - even when they are corrupt or incompetent.

Is he still in government?

No. He was a political ambassador, not career State Department. His government career began and ended with the EU post.

“Nets Ignored Clinton Firing 93 U.S. Attorneys, Fret Over Bush’s 8
The broadcast network evening newscasts, which didn’t care in 1993 about the Clinton administration’s decision to ask for the resignation of all 93 U.S. attorneys”

“Q: How did the Obama regime handle a whistleblower, who was a 24 -year employee of the ATF, when he courageously stepped forward to expose Obama’s crooked AG Eric Holder?

A: They fired him in a Denny’s parking lot.”

Gee, what short memories the Democrats and Lame Street Media has.

Has an investigation of his Purple Heart been conducted.

The vehicle he was riding in was stuck by the shrapnel of an IED and he was injured although he returned IMMEDIATELY to service.

WHAT are the DETAILs behind the story?
