On Friday, the White House escorted Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman from the premises after he testified in the inquiry that resulted in the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

The administration also escorted out his twin brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, who did not testify at the inquiry.
Legal experts believe the actions could be a violation of federal law.

“It seems trivial to mention it at this point, but retaliation against a witness is a federal crime,”

former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, who is an MSNBC legal analyst.


“I worked for a DOJ that prosecuted people who retaliated against witnesses,”...

I'll bet Barr will be all over this.

I don't know if Vindman is actually "fired" as he was just reassigned and is still employed by the Army. Still, relieving him -- and even worse, his brother -- from their current posts is the act of a vindictive, petty, and guilty man. An innocent and truly strong leader would have thanked him for his service and patriotism and just gone back to the business of being IMPOTUS.

No, nervous Nancy broke the law by destroying a government document.

Vindnan will be courtmartialed, Mujer de Buho.

Aw...I knew you read my posts, Mujer de Buho.

Thanks, how else would you learn the truth?

That NSC 'serving at the pleasure of the president' SHIT doesn't fly here. IF you fire a FEDERAL witness it is against the law. And remember he is inextricably linked to the whistleblower who has WHISTLEBLOWER status--don't know if that gives him any other protections since he was commanded to go in front of congress.

I'm sure it will be nuanced and heated and lawyered and LIED about but the word on the street, TRUMP broke the law--AGAIN!

PS Where the fuck is the SEC of the ARMY--he said he would protect Vindman! Wouldn't even show up to answer questions or best I can tell answer any by phone today! Hell maybe Trump didn't tell him!

Sorry, just saw Elizabeth Warren on the Today Show admit that a President should be able to hire/fire people as his/her discretion.

Ever notice how Owl only claims to have those with which she disagrees on ignore? Guess when you can't defend what you believe, you hide and pretend opposition doesn't exist.

Elizabeth Warren was being interviewed on the Today Show this morning. She stated that a President had the authority to hire/fire anyone he/she pleases.

That NSC 'serving at the pleasure of the president' Constitutional BULLSHIT doesn't fly here.

Yeah, we know.

[volsrock]

He wasn't really fired. His job was a rotation job. ...and he was scheduled to leave and return to the Defense Department from whence he came.

[Callinectes]

God this board is STUPID! CLUE--he still wears a uniform.

SONDLAND 'serves at the pleasure of the president' Trump can fire his ass all he wants and twice on SUN.

God this board is STUPID!

Ironic coming from one of the board's most prolific posters

CLUE--he still wears a uniform.

Exactly. This moron doesn't seem to understand that any meaningful military career he might have had is over. If he can't be trusted with sensitive information in the damn white house, what general officer is gonna trust him with intelligence or plans that might hold the lives of thousands of soldiers in the balance. He will never be promoted again(professional death for a career officer), and he doesn't seem to have a sense of honor that's telling him to retire, so fuck him. He can go inventory toilet paper in some insignificant military backwater

Yep. Same with LTC pinhead
