BREAKING: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the National Security Council expert who testified in the House impeachment inquiry last year, was escorted out of the White House, his lawyer says.

inquiry last year, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, was escorted out of the White House Friday, his lawyer said.Earlier Friday, President"Well, I'm not happy with him," Trump said when asked by a reporter if he wanted Vindman, out of the White House."You think I'm supposed to be happy with him? I'm not.”

"There is no question in the mind of any American why this man’s job is over, why this country now has one less soldier serving it at the White House," Pressman said in a statement."LTC Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth. His honor, his commitment to right, frightened the powerful. "In recent months, many entrusted with power in our political system have cowered out of fear. And, yet, a handful of men and women, not endowed with prestige or power, but equipped only with a sense of right borne out of years of quiet service to their country made different choices. They courageously chose to honor their duty with integrity, to trust the truth, and to put their faith in country ahead of fear. And they have paid a price" Pressman said.

TheBengalThing Shift has lied about everything and should never be allowed to give his opinion again 👎

LOUISAGUIRRE It is not right to condemn a person that tells the true and praise a person that tells a bold face lie and it is suppose to be the other way around!!!!!!!!!

All liars. Get to work for God sake. We the Americans are paying your salaries.

who is Igor Paternak and why was he hosting fundraisers for Adam Schiff?

Read lawyers statement. Lots of fluff. So he wasn’t fired. Just moved out of White House. Not like he was tossed out like his spiritual cousin omarosa.

Failure can be a terrible thing.🥴

The Third Red Scare- Unhinged & Unleashed. thethirdredscare

Instead of listening to Schifty Schiff, (liar and Leaker) you should do your homework on his so called patriot Lt. Col. Vindman.

SenBobCasey SenToomey Is whistleblower retaliation a federal crime?

Still a great great honorable man.

Can someone escort Schiff out?

blah blah blah

He has 4th hand gossip and tried to oust his boss. Sit down.

About time!

As Democrats stood by and did nothing. This poor man was set up by both that bunch of wasters.

Is anyone surprised? Trump needs to surround himself with people that support him and that he can trust. Clearly there is no way the President can trust LTC Vindmann. Time for reassignment 👋

The only probable outcome for a worm.

Seems rather complicated. Who and what secrets was he trying to protect in Ukraine? Makes you wonder. I certainly would not want him on my staff

TheView Looks like he needs a job. Someone needs to teach him the word Loyalty.

I’m sorry you thought this was America like you told your dad! Not for long but for right now we’re being ruled by a mentally deranged man who wants to be a dictator and is hell bent on vengeance!!

TheView I saw this coming and just now Sondland too , there will be more to come for Mr Spiteful !

Good! Bye bye Vindman

Testified? I thought there weren’t any witnesses?

Expert Expert

The Vindmans have represented this country with more courage,sacrifice, & class than bone spur traitor trump could even imagine doing.

Another sign who Trump really is and where we are headed if we don't deliver a devastating blow to him and his cronies at the ballot.

Bone spurs fires decorated members of the military.

Wrongful termination?

TheView So sad. It kind of confirms that those scared butt republicans kissed his butt for this very reason. Sissy

Hahaha

In the 1930's, GOP smeared the great American, USMC Major General Smedley D Butler. Two Congressional Medals of Honor for his service! He was vilified for exposing a fascist coup that threatened to overrun the White House. Thank God for patriots. vindmanisapatriot

Life is not fair. Just because you told the truth. Where is God if really exists

TheView Trump is a POS! IStandWithVindman

Patriots who tell the truth are not wanted in the Trump regime. This is so unfair to someone who served our country honorably and earned a Purple Heart. His only crime was telling the truth. We are heading down the path of authoritarian rule with no controls or oversight.

Dirty dirty dirty

This is wrong on so many levels! I knew it was just a matter of time till realDonaldTrump pulled his abuse of power again, but two days? Damn! You fired the man and his brother “cause you weren’t happy with him”? You were happy with them till they testified! We’re humans‼️🙏🏼

Good.

How can we be proud of this hero being fired for telling the truth. We have a sick government right now. Hopefully the 2020 elections will bring sanity back to the White House and the Senate.

My sincere thanks to you, Lt Col Vindman. You are an inspiration. Losing your position is never easy, no matter what the circumstances are, but you, sir, have more character than the entire administration put together.

And they are outraged about ripping paper? 🙄

Double agent... hang him

TheView Hell have no fury like a Trumpy scorned, I said it already look out world you’ve unleashed a monster.

Well what did he think was going to happen! He had plenty of time to prepare for it.

History will remember VINDMAN as a HERO and Trump AS A ZERO

GOOD!

Absolutely appalling for this to be allowed to happen to a Hero. Shameful to all who support this action 😡😡😡

This is NOT OK. Trump is a disgrace.

Give this man wine

“To continue in force during the pleasure of the President of the United States”

How about a story on brazen illegal retaliation for Christ sake.

Lt Col Of what. The wimp brigade?

If he didn’t agree with his boss’s policies, he should have resigned.

Womp womp lmao

About fucking time

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out

Thank you sir for your service, your integrity and your character! It counts! Just not to the idiot in the White House!

The whole GOP is going down in sycophant flames! They’re too dumb to realize what’s actually happened !!

He’s lucky if he isn’t charged with treason,...

😂😂😂😂😂

Good!! Someone finally took the Trash out !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸MAGA2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

SenatorCollins feeling proud of your decision?

Sad

He put the constitution above self interest. What a concept!

About time! He admitted he told the Ukraine leadership to ignore Trump. The treasonous rat should have been fired long ago.

Disgusting is Susan Collins concerned yet

Absolutely disgraceful.

Now Trump is just like his idol...Putin Can’t stand this in America!

TheView Testify and lose your job! Keep silent and lose our democracy! Hard choice!

This does not sadden me. It enrages me

TheView Great! AquittedForever

Lol

Kimjijoon5 He need to go

Im pretty sure 'retaliation' is illegal

TheView America is officially a fascist state

He should have removed all the Obama holdovers immediately upon election

wsbtv Ex is a has been spurt is a drip. This clown deserved to be fired and ABC is fake news!!

TheView headsonapike

AlphonsusDuruji Good throw him into the swanp

Democracy in action.

Aww all the snowflakes are offended

Disgusting

Surprised he was still working there.

This is a dictatorship

Wow I guess senators and rep of Texas your good with this right!!! SenTedCruz JohnCornyn mjhegar michaelcburgess startelegram MSNBC

wsbtv This is the part where the left scolds the administration for ousting a known spy from its midst.

That's sad. Typical Trump however.

TheView Lt. Col. Vindman you are a HERO! Proud of you!

TheView The President can choose his staff! Escorting Vindman out is the President's discretion. Get over it!

Hero

🖕

TheView Well done thou good and faithful servant.

Is this that dude trying to side deal his way to wherever? Never-everland it seems..lol

wsbtv Good.

His brother should get the boot also.

Good

wsbtv Trader

I hope he finds a way to sue the government for telling us the truth.

What did he expect... a promotion? He should have felt embarrassed showing up for work.

👇🏻

Yeah, he got caught up in his own brilliance and importance. You know, like the guy that rode the mule around the world? Saw everything? Knew everything? I think he forgot that he was in the Army. Many good soldiers have made similar mistakes. He might apply at ABC?

The political retribution is just getting started. Can't wait until the GOPCowards CorruptRepublicans find out he won't stop with the Dems.

Lieutenant Colonels don't outrank their commander and chief and our military is apolitical. LTC Chow-Thief got out way over his skis on this one!

Good. Many more to follow.

wsbtv I CAN'T TAKE ALL THIS 🇺🇸WINNINNNG🇺🇸 'Na Na Na Na Hey Hey-ey Goodbye' on YouTube

Good riddance

This character had such a bias agenda. Didn’t trust a word out of his mouth.

Retaliation from the Baby in Chief coverup

Let’s see all of the “so-called” patriots and don’t disrespect our military people show their outrage about this!!

Expert.... meh

this administration is so vindictive. It sucks that a man of honor loses his job over doing the right thing.

Shame on those complicit Senators.

Good

I sense a book coming

As he should be

Disgraceful but not surprising. Here’s why Republicans wouldn’t vote for impeachment. Fear of retaliation. Another sad day for America.

Dont call me 'Mister' Vindman, is in the service and does no dictate foreign policy. LTC Vindman just follows orders which he did not do when told not to testify. Sounds like a court marshall is in order.

He is reassigned to DOD where he belongs

Cozy office in Northern Alaska is Perfect

'LTC Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth,' Vindman's lawyer says. 'His honor, his commitment to right, frightened the powerful.'

He got what he deserved.

Ok, what is going on here. There are many people cheering this on, look at the comments. Are these bots? I'm kinda new here and can't believe so many people are rubbing salt in this heroes wounds. Is this even America? God help us!!

deep staters need to be removed. all he was doing was trying to harm the administration. In no way was he serving the people or his Country...

Yet, another victim of the cruel and vicious mr Trump.

The Deep State will find him another assignment.

Are you going to report the truth of the matter? The real reason? Every veteran and US citizen should be enraged that trump can lash out with his narcissistic petty hatred at honest people who obey their oath to the constitution.

Good. Can’t follow the chain of command? You’re out.

How sweet it is!

This is disgraceful! 😞

Good

Cie2011 The Lord beholds mischief & spite to requite it with his hand...nothing is hidden from God...the people who stood for truth are on God's side...not the liars.Vindman & Romney had the courage to listen to their conscience so they can stand clean before God.

Good

The message that Trump sends our military repeatedly is to BREAK/IGNORE THE LAW! Those who do are okay by Trump (Gallagher) & those who don't aren't welcomed by this administration (Vindman).
