The Department of Defense inspector general found that various Trump administration officials retaliated against then-Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, who, along with his brother Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, played a key role in former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment.

Yevgeny Vindman filed a complaint in August 2020, alleging that members of the administration retaliated against him. He and his brother both worked for the National Security Council and were later demoted following the former president's acquittal in his first impeachment trial.

"We found, based on a preponderance of the evidence, that the Complainant was the subject of unfavorable personnel actions from administration officials," the IG report read.

Yevgeny Vindman's camp touted the report on Wednesday.

“The DoD Inspector General Report of Investigation issued today fully vindicates our client then-LTC Yevgeny Vindman," his attorney Mark Zaid said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.

"Through his protected lawful whistleblowing activities, LTC Vindman properly reported misconduct involving officials within the Trump Administration’s White House and National Security Council.

Based on this latest report, which followed a review by the U.S. Army, it is now conclusive there was illegal retaliation against LTC Vindman, who has since been promoted to Colonel.”

It is only okay for other Presidents to tell other partisan hacks setting up the President to GTFO.

The entire impeachment was a farce. Yet this clown is vindicated.

This says a lot about our Pentagon/DOD & it's IG.

"Lawful whistleblowing activities" my

Complete hacks, not honorable men. The entire swamp needs fumigated. This is frightening.

Also the a-hole that wrote the scathing anonymous Op Ed against his Commander In Chief Trump, quit being a republican today. (He is admitting he is a democrat)
