So in other words, he's no one with any real input on it and just stating opinion.
Just making sure.

Pretty much, just a copy paste to get the thread rolling.

Sorry not my opinion.

Actually on this one, I hope the guy can find a new career where he is respected.

It's going to be hard after being publicly ridiculed and escorted off his job. Sucks

But I'm guessing he wish he had zipped it when he had the opportunity

Contract. If he was on a 2 year contract and only works 1, he is still walking away with 2 years salary.
Haven't any of you ever had a salary job under contract?
Yeesh. Do you still feel sorry for him?
Hellllllloooooo

Is this thing on?

Vindman and his twin are both military and they'll be reassigned elsewhere.


He did his job as required by law and his oath as a military personnel. Zipping it was not an option once he was subpoenaed.


Likely they've been waiting for this and hopefully have a good place for him and his brother to go.

To be fair, national security officials and ambassadors serve "at the pleasure of the president." Any president of either party would have fired them. I'm only surprised Donny Dodger waited until the acquittal.

So am I; makes me wonder who told him to keep him in place until after. Sooner or later, it still looks like a vindictive replacement/firing and not just a "services no longer needed, transfer to another post".

Did anyone expect anything less? After colluding with Shifty Schiff to set up a whistle leaker report to set up Trump?

There would have only been 5-6 months left on his contract anyway.

Nope.

The development comes after Bloomberg News reported Thursday evening that Vindman’s removal was likely as part of a plan to cut down the Trump administration’s foreign policy bureaucracy.
Yeah, that's the excuse. But it is quite obvious, Trump doesn't tolerate people that go against his wishes and retaliates. There's a shipload of evidence to support that intolerance.

It's what the law calls "illegal retaliation".

Maybe both. For example, "hypothetically", let's say Putin has his shyte together, Trump doesn't. Both are dictators but one is subordinate, a "puppet" to the other.

How can the American President be a dictator ? We are far closer to a dictatorship here in Canada .

Mueller said there was no Russian collusion.
