The world's intelligent community - friends & foes - must be laughing hysterically at this circle jerk administration. SMFH & it hurts.

Schumer asks inspectors general to investigate whistleblower retaliation after Vindman firing

 

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is asking that every agency inspector general investigate retaliation against whistleblowers who report presidential misconduct, after the firing of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman from the National Security Council.

 

Schumer’s letters to 74 inspectors general, which will be sent Monday, comes after Vindman, a star witness in the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, was removed from his position at the White House on Friday, along with his twin, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, an ethics lawyer at the NSC. Both brothers are active-duty Army officers and were reassigned to the Pentagon.

 

Gordon Sondland, ambassador to the European Union and another key witness, was also recalled from his post.

 

In a letter to Acting Inspector General Glenn Fine at the Defense Department, Schumer described the NSC firings as “part of a dangerous, growing pattern of retaliation against those who report wrongdoing only to find themselves targeted by the President and subject to his wrath and vindictiveness.”

 

In addition to asking Fine to investigate all acts of retaliation against those who reported presidential misconduct, Schumer also requested that the acting inspector general report the last time that personnel at the Defense Department were informed of their rights as whistleblowers. He also asked that Fine assure Congress in writing that the Pentagon’s general counsel would not allow retaliation against “anyone who has, or in the future makes, protected disclosures of presidential misconduct to Congress or Inspectors General.”

I cant think of a job where you can testify against your boss and expect to keep your job or would want to. 

 

Is it true he was trying to get out of there and Trump pushed him out FOR the optics when folks where telling not to to AVOID the optics? 

 

I'm not defending Trump, I jus wondered what these folks plan was when it was collective knowledge Trump was going to get acquitted.

He didn't just fire Vindman, he also fired his brother who wasn't involved.  Just out of spite.

I know, I'm not defending it, I'm jus hoping these folks made plans while they were doing this if and when it went south.  What's playing is playing out right now is probably the least surprising thing in this whole impeachment. 

 

For a guy that pretty much demands loyalty pledges and goes after dissenters, my hope is they get out before Trump does it for them.  I wonder how much they factored that into their decision and hope none of them tonight everything would go back to normal like it never happened.

 

We are nowhere near back to normal yet, quite the opposite.
