Pelosi 'stunned' by White House firing of 'patriotic' Alexander Vindman
Washington Examiner ^ | February 8, 2020 | Andrew Mark Miller

“I’m stunned by it. I’ll talk to my colleagues about this because I know they have some concern about some of the interventions that the president has with our military. That’s such a shame. What a patriotic person,” the California Democrat added.

“””””””” And some of the military guys were p***** that he wore it for the “show”.””””””””””””””””

I called it a costume for the clown show.

I have a great respect for people who served in the military, no respect for traitors.

Words, words, words.
Being reassigned is not the same as being fired.

Frame the title, frame the narrative. And since many don't get past the title these days...well, the outcome is obvious. The dishonest media strikes again.

Vindman reassigned

Note the titles versus the body of the articles.

Any dictator worth his salt would fire Pelosi.

Some “dictator” Trump is.

Because nothing say “patriot” more than violating several articles of the UCMJ like: Article 88 - Contempt toward officials; Article 94 - Mutiny and sedition; Article 107 - False official statements; Article 133 - Conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman; Article 134-12 - Disloyal statements.

I believe that both of the Vinman brothers deserve a full and complete investigation by military authorities for their actions and prosecution for any and all crimes that they may have committed.

== = = = = = = = = =

I don’t think so.

I think he enjoys her swinging in the wind making a complete arse out of herself each time she opens her mouth.

Rs don’t need campaign staffs, all they need are ‘tape editors’ who can put ALL comments made by these losers in proper order and run on THEIR words and mis-speaks.

Nancy, Donald Trump is the Commander and Chief of the United States and to all Military personal every single word that comes out of his mouth is a direct order. He has immense power and it must be used wisely.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

She IGNORES & does not respect that he is CIC ... at her peril, btw.

I posted this previously .... bears repeating:

IF somebody would have the guts to call Vindman on this (& there’s lots more than ‘this’), he’d have a big court martial-sized problem

REPORT: Lt. Col. Vindman May Soon Be Removed From White House…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/02/07/report-lt-col-vindman-may-soon-be-removed-from-white-house/

From link:

This next section is very interesting, and very important.

Congressman John Ratcliffe begins questioning Vindman from the perspective of an Article 92 violation {READ IT}, coupled with an Article 88 violation {READ IT}. President Trump, is Lt. Col Vindman’s superior. President Trump sets the foreign policy.

“Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. [Article 88, UCMJ]”

Two weeks after President Trump has established an agreement with Ukraine President Zelenskyy, and established the policy direction therein, Lt. Col. Vindman is now giving contrary instructions to the Ukranian government. Vindman’s lawyer recognizes where the questioning is going and goes absolutely bananas ....

So when Truman fired MacArthur because MacArthur wanted to drop an atom bomb on China, was that “interfering with the military”?

..It was sent back to the Defense department from whence he came.

Was it some kind of military academy? War school......I dunno........and his equally disgusting brother was shown the door. Damn I hope POTUS will have more house cleaning in his second term and I PRAY he has a majority so big in the House and Senate that these pesky cockroaches will be cleaning restrooms because they can do nothing in the Congress....right now they won’t, next time they can’t.....;)

Liars like Nancy Pelosi rely on short memories. Fortunately, the internet is forever. Barack Obama and his pack of goons were relentless in tracking down and prosecuting leakers, giving him the latitude to commit any number of crimes with no fear of discovery. It’s good to be the King.

Don’t take my word for it, here is what the Washington Post had to say about it.
