... including Sondland and Vindman is a ‘criminal’ offense

President Donald Trump late Friday afternoon and evening ended the week by firing three administration and White House officials, he blames for his impeachment in a campaign of retribution that some experts are calling illegal.

Trump not only had Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman transferred out of the White House, he had him fired from his National Security Post and escorted out of the building. Vindman’s twin brother, who also works on the NSC, was summarily fired and escorted out as well, as The New York Times reports.

If that weren’t enough Trump then turned around and had his Ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, fired as well.

Both Vindman and Sondland had testified before Congress, proving the whistleblower’s claims that the president engaged in disturbing behavior by extorting Ukraine. The General Accounting Office substantiated that claim, stating that Trump’s withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid was illegal.

What’s funny is the culture of fear and intimidation within the ranks of the left. They would never allow a minion of the executive branch to disrespect a democrat POTUS, but when a left wing swamper trashes a republican president, they are hailed as patriots.


Add it to the list of hypocritical double standards deployed by the left

This is a progressive news site akin to the huff post. They are already setting up the next narrative for an impeachment. These people will never give up. It is damn amazing how much he is in their head every waking moment.

Well shite, all you have to do if you work in the government is say you don't like Trump and apparently that makes you bulletproof.

These people are the people morons look down upon.

I believe this was thoroughly debunked.

This coming from a mouthpiece of the party that had a true whistleblower, Seth Rich, killed.

The “experts” don’t know the first thing about how the executive branch works if they think this is illegal.

Every single person serving in the executive branch works at the pleasure of the freaking president and he can fire anyone at anytime.

I picture them being like the outfit that chick in House of Cards reported for. Sitting around on the floor or in beanbags with their laptops.

They are drawing a comparison to Nixon who fired the people investigating him. Trump fired people who disagreed with his approach to foreign policy and worked to interfere.

Nowhere near the same.
