U.S. National Sec Adviser: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman Will Be Removed From The White House National Security Council


TPM: National Sec Adviser: Top Impeachment Probe Witness Will Be Removed From WH Council

On Sunday, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who gave a bombshell testimony in the House impeachment investigation last month on President Donald Trump’s Ukraine scheme, will be removed from his post at the White House National Security Council.

“Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, who has testified under oath, is serving on the National Security Council currently,” CBS News’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan said during her interview with O’Brien. “Will he continue to work for you despite testifying against the President?”

“Well look, one of the things that I’ve talked about is that we’re streamlining the National Security Council,” O’Brien replied. “It got bloated to like 236 people up from 100 in the Bush administration under President Obama.”

The national security adviser said Vindman, who currently serves as the council’s Director for European Affairs, will be removed as a part of the White House’s “streamlining” efforts.

WNU Editor: According to Lieutenant Colonel Vindman's attorney he is still there and he is expected to remain as Ukraine director on the National Security Council until July, 2020 .... 'Still there': Vindman not removed from National Security Council despite alarm over vengeful firing (Washington Examiner). As to what is my take .... I do not think he is going to be there in the next day or two. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien wants people that he knows and trusts working around him as well as a smaller and more manageable staff. Lieutenant Colonel Vindman does not meet those requirements.

Good people will fall for the protection of the egomaniac, Trump.

Dear Mr Huntley--
You know by now that if you tell things as they really are the CHUDS here will insult you endlessly, and of course not in so doing offer any rebuttal to what you say. Low lifes are content to insult, vomit venom, and show what low IQ people they are. And yes: intelligence is but one part of a decent human being. There is, too, emotional intelligence, something we see lacking in the neanderthals who dump their crap on you.

I know that very well and than you very much for your comment. I feel comfortable posting my thoughts, which I hope are more than just my opinions but based on a truthful analysis of any given situation.

Frankly I feel comfortable posting on this, Canadian site, and look forward to the editor's perspective, especially on Canadian issues but also on his experience in numerous countries.

My daughter just returned from a business trip to China and told me that in Beijing, she experienced no mention of what is going on in Hong Kong.

WNU always did say the Lefties were more vocal and posted more, while Non-Lefties emailed him.

It is great to see Lefties get discomfitted by Mike or others.
