Considering all that Trump has been up against from the various agencies and democratic party at large since DAY-ONE in office, I'd probably cut Vindman loose, as well.
But he wasn't relieved "immediately", which is the problem I have with the way it was done. Trump waited till he "beat the rap" on impeachment.
The President can protect anyone he wants for as long as he wants. If they get fired usually he does the firing but in cases where he doesn't protect someone they can get fired by anyone above them in their chain of command.
Firing these Deep State puppets during the failed impeachment attempt would have been portrayed by the Dems as witness intimidation.
And would you also relieve any family members of the aide? It seems like you are asserting that Congress should have no power to get testimony from anyone in the military if POTUS disapproves. Is that correct? barfo
False testimony is what Vindman was fired for, disobeying orders and obstruction of the Presidency. In layman's terms, Treason.
Plus all the people he helped Hillary murder. Oh, and his ties George Soros. And for releasing the Coronavirus. And those are just the things we know about! barfo
There is a growing movement to nominate Vindman for a Profile in Courage award. I signed up. Those who get why we should, should as well. For those who don't, or don't know what it means, then just ignore this post, or bloviate, or whatever. Nominate him here.
Wrong. If your boss tells you to do something illegal you are not required to obey; in fact the opposite. He received a lawful subpoena and testified truthfully. He followed the law. I once had a supervisor order me to falsify data. I refused. He called me every name in the book, screamed, threatened to fire me. I told him if he did I would report to the FDA the company was falsifying data, and I had proof. He didn't fire me but a few months later they told me business was slow and they needed layoff. Just one person laid off. Me. The company folded not long after.
