Why didn’t Trump “bust” Vindman to private and fire him?

"Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council..."

Not very good at it, was he!

It's certainly great that he got canned before he could do any more harm. Now it's time for he and the other Deep State traitors get convicted for treason.

Amen to that! And hanged by the neck until he is dead. And I do not care if that makes us look like them!

Because that would not follow due process.

Contrary to the Media, President Trump is not a dictator.

Even as Commander in Chief, he does not have the authority to summarily "bust" a commissioned officer to private.

It still requires due process.

At minimum, a courts martial.

Actually, he should be court-martialed for leaking and serve time in Leavenworth.

Court martial?

I'm sure that has been considered.

What about just plain firing him? Didn't Truman fire MacArthur?

Removing Everyone Named Vindman From the NSC is a Good Start DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 2/8/2020, 5:49:37 AM by EyesOfTX

Capping off on of the most incredible weeks of uniterrupted WINNING in U.S. presidential history, both Vindman brothers serving as anti-Trump spies at the National Security Council and smarmy Ambassador to the EU Gordan Sondland were removed from their respective posts late Friday.

Very predictably, leftists, #nevertrump nitwits and their corrupt media toadies went absolutely nuts in response, especially over the dismissal of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the guy who played such a crucial role in dummying up the fake impeachment scam through which the Democrats have held our country hostage for the last 5 months.

This, of course, is absurd. Vindman has proven himself to be disloyal and a leaker of classified information, and any POTUS has an absolute right to be advised by people who he can rely on. After the events of the last 5 months, there is no way on earth President Trump should ever could a word of advice or information Alexander Vindman or his brother.

Truman relieved MacArthur of his command. MacArthur returned to the U.S. and retired.

Better to be removed by Trump than REMOVED by Hillary.

I’ve heard Vindman is scheduled to enter the War College, what then a promotion???? He should be removed from the military. He spent a lot of time making fun of our military men, to the Russians. That doesn’t sound like he favors the men he serves with.
