I wish the Pentagon was as concerned about protecting our southern border. I wish the Pentagon was as concerned about protecting our President from a coup. But not the case.

The key word here is "reportedly." That means it's a rumor.

Too bad they weren't concerned about Ambassador Stevens.
I agree #3- "reportedly."
Perhaps they're taking him into the brigg.

This should answer any questions any one had about whether or not the pentagon is in fact part of the 'deep state'.

Pray tell, what protections have been offered to individuals/families of Pam Bondi, Tucker Carlson, Kellyanne Conway, Ted/Heidi Cruz, Jared/Ivanka Kushner, Mitch/Elaine McConnell, Stephen Miller, Kirstjen Nielsen, Devin Nunes, Sara Huckabee Sanders, Steve Scalise, et al? Seemingly no concern for their safety whether in public or the privacy of their own homes.
There are time when theatrics comes to mind. Might anyone remember Clinton friends Linda Bloodworth-Thomason and husband, Harry Thomason of television producer fame; or the “elaborate columned stage resembling a miniature Greek temple” used for Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama in 2008? Many Americans are reminded of Shakespeare’s “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

How about moving him into a nice comfy cell in Leavenworth where he belongs. I hear President Trump just opened up a couple of cells there that were occupied by Obama's victims.

When I served in the USAF, 1956-1964, military bases had restricted entry, with Air Police/Military Police at the gates, controlled entry and exit.
Then in 1985, my oldest son was stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C., and we picked him up to go on leave. And I was surprised that there was no restrictions on entry - just drove right on in to the faciility - no police on duty, no gate.
I don't know if things have changed back to the old ways. But if there is still open access to the bases, how does that protect Lt.Col. Quisling?

Just researched Tommy Christopher. Flaming Liberal reporter (aka maker-upper, fabricator, attack dog, whatever), sacked by AOL at one time for his reporting and by Mediaite in 2014. Sounds like a sensationalist and an irresponsible guy. Unless your doctor forbids it, take anything with his byline with a grain of salt.

This has been manufactured in an attempt to give credibility to Vindman's statements made today. Suffice to say that Vindman's Army cronies are behind this :reportedly" ready claim. Tommy, which one of Vindman's buddies is your source?

It’s not conservatives and Republicans who are beating up people in the streets and shooting up congressional baseball practices. This is just a ruse to make the odious Vindman look like a sympathetic figure. Won’t work.

Vindman, in his delusion, thinks he is Frank Pentangelli in Godfather 2.
All that is left is for Rudi Guiliani to bring him a cigar.

Vindman has his 20 years completed in the Army, so chances are he is ready to retire from the Army, and take a job involving something got to do with Ukrainian interests in the USA or abroad.

I don't know about the 'family', but the next posting of him and his brother should be to Fort Leavenworth.
And Not As Staff.

I see that several people above beat me to the Leavenworth concept.
So, let me just add: 0bama Perfumed Princes still run most of the Pentagon and command most of our military bases, so this could be more than just fake news .... They could be active parts of the coup. acting here as PR / propaganda people for Schiff.

In sane, functioning Republic, Vindman should have more to worry bout from the Army (think firing squad) than from the public. He's clearly trying to take out his Commander-in-Chief with total disregard for his chain of command. That's he will fail in his active coup attempt does not obviate his need for the death penalty.

Ohhhhh. Is the big tough Lt. Col. scared? Don't worry Lt. Col.. None of us care about you enough to dirty our hands on you. You are a worm. A nice court-martial for insubordination and failure to follow the chain of command and failure to respect your Commander in Chief would do nicely.

Moving into on base housing is not so great as a lot of that housing is slum level, besides he might have to live next to an enlisted man or woman, and will have to forfeit his entire housing allowance. That’s why most field grade officers live off base.

Its not because of his safety. They can keep an eye on him. He is a problem for the Army - you don't go against the Commander-in-Chief.
He will be watched 24 hours a day.

Our Army is complicit in this insubordination against the Commander-in-Chief. The Army ignores the chain of command. They want touchy-freely Democrats back in power and our heroes who actually kill our Muslim enemies in military prisons. The person in grave danger of assassination is our great President Donald Trump.
