Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman (do not refer to him as Mr. Vindman or he will correct you) is best known for his testimony during President Trump’s impeachment and was said to have been offered the gig of Ukraine’s defense minister. Vindman was “escorted out” of the White House in February, though he hadn’t been fired per se; he’d just been removed from his NSC post six months earlier than from when his assignment would have expired.
Democrats were, of course, outraged that their new favorite military hero had been treated so badly by the White House, and now they can relive that anger now that Vindman has said he’s retiring from the military, blaming the White House for its “campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation.”

Trump fired Vindman as the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council in February and also ousted his twin brother who also played a key role in impeachment proceedings while serving at the White House as an NSC lawyer.

Whatever hardship Vindman is experiencing he brought upon himself.

he leaked classified phone call info to Eric Ciaramella, who leaked to @RepAdamSchiff , who then perjured himself by denying it.
he should be in jail.
they'll get theirs !

Wait, who’s this Eric Ciaramella fellow? To this day not even Rep. Adam Schiff knows the identity of the whistleblower, or so he says.
He was up for promotion. I believe that’s why Senator Duckworth wouldn’t sign off on a bill if it didn’t include protection for Vindmans promo.

So I guess Duckworth did all her virtue-signalling for nothing.

I guess he’s now free to become the Ukraine defense minister?

Our country is a safer country when clowns like Vindman are no longer serving.

If I ran a big company, I would hire this guy ASAP!

Now we know why you don't run a big company.

I’m sure he’ll put himself in for a Purple Heart for the horrible bruise on his backside from the door hitting him on the way out. Thankfully under the @POTUS leadership he can get treated for this at the much improved VA hospitals! #buhbye

Wow you can spin this for few more weeks until you get something else before the election.

Maybe the liberals can build a statue of Vindman in D.C. somewhere a statue of someone else was torn down by the mob.

Update:
We knew we’d hear from Vindman’s buddy Rep. Adam Schiff before the end of the day:
Schiff to Vindman: Right matters. Right does not matter to Donald Trump. But it matters to you. It matters to this country and to its people. It will always matter. And with those words, you have left an indelible mark on our nation’s conscience and history.

Who again left what where?
