Sondland Is Recalled - CrimsonPhantom - 02-07-2020 08:21 PM
Quote:U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, who testified about President Trump’s Ukraine dealings during the House impeachment hearings, said Friday he had been recalled from his overseas position, hours after a National Security Council aide who testified against the president was also fired.
“I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States ambassador to the European Union," Sondland said.
With Sondland and Vindman out, eight of 12 officials who testified publicly during the impeachment hearings have left their roles, been fired, or reassigned.
"I am grateful to President Trump for having given me the opportunity to serve, to Secretary Pompeo for his consistent support, and to the exceptional and dedicated professionals at the U.S. Mission to the European Union," Sondland said Friday. "I am proud of our accomplishments. Our work here has been the highlight of my career.”
From the same article:
Quote:A senior administration official also told Fox News that Vindman’s twin brother Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman has also left the National Security Council. Yevgeny Vindman was assigned to the office that vetted publications like former national security adviser John Bolton’s book – though he has said he was not involved in the vetting of the Bolton manuscript.
Trump, when asked about Vindman on Friday, told reporters that he was "not happy with him."
"You think I'm supposed to be happy with him? I'm not," Trump said, adding that a decision would be made soon.
Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Mark Esper appeared to welcome the speculation that Vindman could be reassigned back to the Pentagon.
"We welcome back all of our service members wherever they served to any assignment they're given," Esper told reporters Friday. "[A]s I said, we protect all of our persons, servicemembers from retribution or anything like that. We have already addressed that in policy and other means."

let them, they work for the POTUS at his will and pleasure and he can fire them for any reason or no reason at all. The two brothers are anti-American, ant-Trump seditionists so eff them.

Could Grenell be a replacement? If Pompeo weren't so awesome, he might make a decent SecState

He served at the pleasure of the President. I give him credit in his statement about this that he did not in any way bash Trump. He knows how this schit works as a diplomat.
