President Trump on Tuesday suggested the military should consider additional disciplinary action against Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who provided damaging testimony against Trump in the impeachment inquiry and was “escorted” by police from his White House job last week, reports CNBC.

There was little doubt that Trump would start punishing those that spoke out against his actions, once the GOP senate let him off the hook. Lt. Col. Vindman had already cleared out his personal items, in anticipation of this. There will be plenty more "heads on pikes" before he is done with his revenge tour. The scary part is, he now truly believes he is above the law.....and is acting accordingly. His justice department is pulling back on the recommended sentences for his cronies that were convicted of felonies.....demonstrating that his friends are also above the law. Four career prosecutors resigned in protest. They preserve their own dignity and honor by doing so, but the justice department is fast becoming nothing more than a political arm, and political weapon, of Trump. Frankentrump has been unleashed on the village, and is wrecking havoc.

PO1 James McWilliams and the jurors that heard all the evidence and voted to convict...I suppose they were all angry Democrats as well? All part of the Mueller conspiracy?

SSgt Gary Andrews - Good try, Gary, but Trump was right about one thing: He could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and his supporters would still support him.
All Hail King Donald.

Because just like you and I, he has privileges! He executed those privileges, as I would. I can’t believe I have to explain this!
It was the house’s responsibility to submit subpoenas and go through the Correct Procedures! You do understand correct procedures right? The house declined to follow procedures! The senate heard from the witnesses and had some 28,000 documents. It was not there job to finish the house’s case, but to hear and rule on it.
There is and has been government corruption in our system for a very long time and you want to accuse someone that has been in it for 3 years, not getting paid mind you. That they are scared to death that he will find them and show us who and what they are.
Wake up man. Exercise your privilege to not believe just one side. Put yourself in his shoes, would you wanna be RR like this. My Dad had a saying, “Believe nothing that you hear & only half of what you see”
Hopefully our President and the DOJ will show us the other half of what I’ve seen, as with millions of other Americans.
I hope this helps and God bless you for your service.

What would you call the 2 1/2 year Muller investigation. It clearly states that it was the Obama administration, the then FBI, and the Clinton network that started all this.
Prove to me that that’s not the truth!
Get out of your safe little bunker & get on the front line & fight for our Commander in Chief

I get it. You hate the guy. Now, let’s be honest for a minute. When you’re on the National Security Council, you work at the discretion, pleasure of the president. That means you can be fired/removed/whatever for any reason at all, including no reason at all. Next, when you no longer work at the White House, you get escorted out. No matter who you are or think you are. No need to add quotations (“escorted) to make it seem sinister or vindictive or whatever. Journalism is pretty dead.

Yeah. When you work for the National Security Council you work for the uh um National Security Advisor. Being relieved of duty for lack in confidence in one’s ability is military punishment. For any president (if this is true) to suggest additional punishment out of spite is just authoritarian retaliation. There’s no excuse to justify it; at least I hope you’re not justifying such behavior.

This is a hand-wringing, trash article. The headline: “Trump Suggests Military Should Consider Punishing Lt. Col. Vindman For Testifying Against Him.” The article fails to support that headline. A quick copy and paste from the article for the sake of time; Asked specifically if the Pentagon should pursue further action against Vindman, Trump said it would be “up to the military.” Well, that’s interesting. I guess they didn’t get the answer they wanted so they projected the one the wanted via the headline perhaps?
I’m not sure what you think I’m justifying. The firing? Sure, why not? Completely within the president’s authority to do so. They National Security Council isn’t a military position. Some of the members are on loan from the military, sure. When they leave, for whatever reason, they go back to their respective branches. Again, the president is free to send any NSC member he chooses packing for any reason he chooses. There simply isn’t anything illegal about that at all.

Still trying to understand the crime or illegal conduct that makes Trump and his supporters so mad.

PO1 James McWilliams - I didn't say he was a hero. I said I'm trying to understand why so many Trump supporters think LTC Vindman committed a crime or misconduct. Thank you for the word garbage salad you posted. Nice to know if you witness anything and are asked to testify under oath you'll most likely refuse to do so.
