Lt. Col Alexander Vindman, a key witness in the House Democrats’ partisan impeachment inquiry, was fired from the National Security Council and escorted out of the White House on Friday, CNN first reported.
Vindman’s attorney, David Pressman, confirmed his client’s termination and subsequent removal from the White House.
“Today, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman was escorted out of the White House where he has dutifully served his country and his President. He does so having spoken publicly once, and only pursuant to a subpoena from the United States Congress,” Pressman said in a statement.

I hope they take away his security clearance. This is long overdue.

I want to know when he's going to be facing a courts martial. If he doesn't, not a single soldier, sailor, airman or marine should ever face one again. Same about shrillary, for that matter.

Should be facing a court-martial for advising the Ukranians to not investigate Burisma after the COC requested them to do so.

And the swamp water recedes another inch or two. They will learn not to try to stab him in the back.

Now, let's review his computer and phones to see who he'd been communicating with, and leaking to.
And, let's get the twin brother out of there, but I'm sure they have "allies" still left in the NSC.

I want more of this. Like flopping fish awash on the deck on their way to the court market.

Not just relieved of duty in the White House, but a court martial for insubordination, and conduct unbecoming an officer--I am sure there are other applicable violations of the UCMJ. Upon conviction: reduction to the lowest enlisted rank, dishonorable discharge, and forfeiture of all pay and allowances---that would mean NO Army retirement check.

Any President is entitled to White House advisors and staff who will not leak national security or other classified information to the media, who will not tattle White House deliberations to partisan Democrats, and who will not spy on him. The President’s National Security Advisor was recently on TV and said that the White House National Security Council staff was greatly increased by former President Obama to over 200 people and that he is going to reduce that staff to less than 100. You can bet that most Obama holdovers will be returned back to their parent agencies.

He has NOT been fired, he has been reassigned just like the ambassador to Ukraine was NOT fired but reassigned to another post in the United States. I wish these liberal news outlets would quit spinning every Gawd Darn story to make the best prseident since Reagan look bad. And there are going to be another 99 reassigned from their National Security positions in the White House. When JFK was there he handle the Cuban Crisis with just 12 positions, under 0bama it rose to over 225. It is about time it is brought back to a controllable size.

It is long past time to clean house at the NSC and rid the White House of all the Obama holdovers.

The traitor should have been walked out in handcuffs! Hopefully in his new job at the Pentagon Lt. Vindictive's new assignment will be to conduct an inventory on paperclips and toilet paper!

Future new administrations should use this as the golden example of why when an opposing party takes over the White House, they need to purge 100% of the existing staff. Find them equivalent pay positions elsewhere in the government if they're permanent government personnel, but get them out of the White House and Executive Building. Otherwise they'll spend years having to watch their backs against political traitors. And make accepting that position change contingent on getting the job.

Has anyone here read the comments after - specifically about the link to dual citizenship of Vindman and many in the House and Senate? I would welcome your input. Vindman supposedly has triple citizenship:
USA, Israel & Ukraine. I'll see if I can verify this.

Memo to self - trust but verify first / before posting, Here's part of the research (with it's list of sources) that should have been within my above post.
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/feb/25/blog-posting/no-members-congress-dont-have-dual-citizenship-isr/
the answer is false, no dual citizenship. Interesting how one post evolved and went viral.

Update — 6:05 P.M. EST: A U.S. Army spokesperson on Friday said the Vindman brothers have been reassigned to the Department of the Army after their removal from the White House’s National Security Council. Read Breitbart News’ original report below.
Someone had better tell Chuckie Shumer, who is ranting about retaliation firing, bla bla bla. Not fired, they were just sent back to the DoD.

I heard one report that the Pentagon vowed to protect him. Isn't that insubordination on a grand scale?

If you’re going to kill the king, you’d better kill him. What did these people expect? That Trump would keep them on after they testified against him?
