If you check wikipedia you will see the bias of their reporting.
How can anyone call allegations about Biden unfounded ?
The SOB is on you tube bragging about threatening the prosecutor
Good riddance to bad rubbish
Where is the investigation of Biden now?

Who couldn't see that one coming ?
I'd venture to say anyone who testified in the House will be looking for a new job shortly.

Yevgeny Vindman, brother of Alexander removed as well now. The purge continues. I am surprised all this took so long. |

Well Vindman was offered the job of Minister or Secretary of Defense in Ukraine 3 times. Maybe that job is still open. Probably with new PM Zelensky that one is off the table. Probably go to CNN and cry over their.
Drain the swamp, one malcontent at a time, or better yet purge all the rats.

He's a Lt. Col. in the Army. I'm sure they've plenty of billets for him to serve.
Honestly though while watching him testify in the House I couldn't possibly imagine him as a troop commander.

Carl-you and me and others who have served are aware and Know some officers are destined to nothing more than chair warming duties with a title. The fact President Trump is cleaning house surprises me not. RIDE SAFE. |

I personally think Trump should fire anyone in his administration that even leans left. It obvious that they can't be trusted. Anyone who worked for Obama gone. Maybe then the leaks will stop.

The reach of the deep state extends into all parts of government
why not also the military since it is in the FBI, CIA, DOJ every federal office.
Like all organisms it wants to grow and survive. When it exists to protect itself and
not us, when it tries to LIMIT our rights, its usefulness ends
For me its 2 rules,
1 the government is there to serve we the people not the other way around
2 see rule 1
IMHO
This is why Trump won election. If you will he was the vaccine it took to enable us
to realize that we were sickly because we allowed government to rule us not we rule government
We have the power of the vote and we will neither go socialist or democratic in 2020 as a country
What the cities do with their votes will not matter, nobody with sense wants people crapping in the street, living in tent cities or illegal aliens getting free stuff when we have to pay
The women in white robes have made a poor choice in garments. They have offended millions of women now
and there is no anger like millions of women scorned

FDR was not qualified for service (due to his polio ).
My intent was just provide a list of those who did not serve and became President. But, and this is from wikipedia which...., "Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York, to a Dutch American family made well known by the reputation of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States, and William Henry Aspinwall. FDR graduated from Groton School and Harvard College and attended Columbia Law School but left after passing the bar exam to practice law in New York City. In 1905, he married his fifth cousin once removed, Eleanor Roosevelt. They had six children, of whom five survived into adulthood. He won election to the New York State Senate in 1910, and then served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. Roosevelt was James M. Cox's running mate on the Democratic Party's 1920 national ticket, but Cox was defeated by Republican Warren G. Harding." More: "In 1921, Roosevelt contracted a paralytic illness, believed at the time to be polio, and his legs became permanently paralyzed." "On August 10 (1921), after a day of strenuous activity, Roosevelt came down with an illness characterized by fever, ascending paralysis, facial paralysis, prolonged bowel and bladder dysfunction, and numbness and hypersensitivity of the skin.[3][2]:47 Most of the symptoms resolved themselves, but he was left permanently paralyzed from the waist down. "The Selective Service Act of 1917 or Selective Draft Act (Pub.L. 65–12, 40 Stat. 76, enacted May 18, 1917) authorized the United States federal government to raise a national army for service in World War I through conscription." |

Provide facts that he’s not. I understand that under leftist/socialist/fascist/communist systems that so many currently advocate for it is the responsibility of the accused to prove their innocence, however under our system it is up to the accuser to prove the guilt of the accused... |

BAck to topic -
LT COL Vindman is probably going to retire at his present rank (assuming he will be allowed to). He was due for a new duty assignment in 6 months or so anyway, but getting prematurely relieved by the President is not going to do his career any good. Given the odds of making flag officer are about 1000 to 1, his are probably shot. He MIGHT (depending on his record otherwise) have a slim chance for COL (O-6), but it would not surprise me if that doesn't happen either.
His best bet is to leave the service and find a job as an academic (I would assume he is at least close to a PHD), or maybe some thinktank that could use him.
In my opinion only.

I think the Army will give him a choice:
1) They'll yank his clearance (pending a detailed reinvestigation) and offer him a job in some out of the way spot in charge of no one that requires no clearance (and see if the investigation produces sufficient evidence for a court martial), or
2) Retire right now in your present grade, and we'll approve it.
I'm thinking door number two Monty.
The military is just as good at making offers you can't refuse as the wise guys. (except they won't kill you quickly)

Isn’t it odd that all of the people he hired and have left, are now left leaning ? Evidently he isn’t very good at vetting employees. Hmmm, although I don't know the actual number, I doubt the Lt Col. was vetted at all (Politically speaking). Yes, he had to get past that pesky background check and all those other "clearance issues". Lots of folks work in every administration and unless they come out as being anti-whatever, I doubt they'd be noticed. Especially, military members assigned to a position. Admittedly, I could be wrong. Makes me wonder if everyone that worked for other administrations vetted all their subordinates as we appear to expect President Trump to have done.  Possibly they did their jobs as they were expected to do and didn't get involved in the politics as this Lt Col. did. Rams |

While I wore The Uniform I had to keep my ideas of The Commander in Chief to myself. An Officer I respected a lot and flew with a couple times splained it to me. I could have been in deep dodo had i voiced what I was thinking. 1964 thru 1968. Also remember I was Serving under l b j and r s m. Oh hellz bellz-at least I survived.  I believed thought that The Military was sposed to be apolitical. RIDE SAFE. |
