National security adviser Robert O’Brien said it was his decision to remove Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman from the National Security Council: 'I can absolutely tell you they were not retaliated against.'

“I can absolutely tell you they were not retaliated against,” Mr. O’Brien said during a panel discussion at the headquarters of think tank the Atlantic Council, referring to Col. Vindman and his twin brother, Yevgeny Vindman, a senior lawyer and ethics.

Yea right!

Doesnt matter. They both should have been gone 3 yrs ago.

Sure!

I’m still not sure why someone getting replaced/reassigned is such a big deal. None of the melting faces have ever held a job or been a supervisor before?

Some screamers should brush up on the rules. Presidents can fire any or all prosecutors at any time, for any reason or no reason at all. Nearly every POTUS has done so. Including Clinton (90 firings).

Bullshit!

So, what? They were reassigned for their safety?

Yet another lamb willing to sacrifice his soul for Donald Trump.

Don’t we have law that suppose to protect the witness? Feel like we have become a lawless country where a dictator can crush anyone who dare to speak up. Shame and sad.

These sycophants have zero credibility.

Can I sell you some Trump waterfront property?

anblanx How do you spell bullshit

Bullshite

Sure...now for another fantasy...

And I'm sure whoever takes his place is going to get a very stern lecture about' Rattin out da boss'

Spell check aisle 1

Wellll,that does'nt fit our narrative !

Bummer, Vindman looks like he’s over his weight standard. Life in the real Army may suck.

Those in uniform are expected to be apolitical. This is the expected result.

Nothing from the Trump Adminstration is truthful. That includes economic and job data. All things out of Trump Adminstration are false The entire Administiom is corrupted.

colbertlateshow nbcsnl TheDailyShow ComedyCentral thehill FoxNews TheAtlantic rollcall cspan voxdotcom Lies, lies, and more lies... 🤔

Another lie

What is he like Trump's 10th security advisor in 1 term? Consider my faith in his comments absolute

Liar!

Trump says the military should look at disciplinary action against Lt. Col. Vindman, who gave testimony in impeachment hearings about the president. Let's stop with propaganda WSJ. Try actual journalism.

Lol does he think we are stupid.

I never understood why someone would state the obvious! (Sarcasm here). 😀

Bullshit.

dkahanerules And the NSC staff could be reduced even further. A lean staff doesn’t have time to cause trouble, make up lies, and be insubordinate.

Iiar

CORRECT......YOU WILL GO TO HELL!!!

you lie

O'Brien thinks we are all deaf, dumb and blind. He is stuck we all know the answer he is forced to just outright lie. Well he is not forced to lie but he is a coward who proven will make a fool out of himself to protect Trump. Trump would dump him in one minute if he did not lie

Duhhh

The Dump teams favorite play. Piss right in your face and tell you it's raining

Lol

Horseshit

Robert O’Brian ..... you do not need to give any explanations....glad you did it!!

Bull shit

And pigs can fly

Whatever makes you sleep better

Sure.

Suuuuurrrrrrrre

Who voted for Vindman? Does he have a Commander in Chief? Maybe he should report to his post.

Signed, rupertmurdoch. FUWSJ

Wait... “At the end of the day, the president is entitled to staffers that want to execute his policies and he has confidence in,” Mr. O’Brien said. Sooo...this isn’t about the big orange baby?

He’s lying

Yeah ... fucking ... riiiiight

Bullshit.

And that's a complete lie

According to Jr. it was.

*Absolutely*? Well that changes everything

Which means it absolutely was retaliation.

The Pinocchio effect

Really? And we all are supposed to believe this? It reminds me of an IT director who was fired and then the company’s IT system went down for 4 days. The company said it had “nothing” to do with the firing. Right! We aren’t stupid, WSJ!

He’s full of shit

Literally no person on either side believes that.

Thank God us Americans are so dumb and can’t connect the dots

So how many nights at Mar-A-Lago did he get for that little piece of Trumpism?

Oh yeah? Then define 'retaliated against'. Does it include matching him out under armed guard? Booting his brother, too?

Someone has to fall on the sword

Baloney

Then what is the reason Vindman AND his brother were removed?

literally, the tweet right after this one-

BULLSHIIT

Hahahahahaha....exactly how stupid do you think the public is?

He's a lying trumpsucker

Oh, come on.

No. No, of course not.

Bullshit

Sure

Sure..... it is merely a coincidence that everyone Trump slams as a traitor to him gets fired..... I have some swampland in Florida to sell you... you seem like an easy mark.

Can I diplomatically call BULLSHIT? Diplomatically of course......

Yeahhhhhh I mean how is it a 'they' in the first place when only one brother testified? Punishing the family as well is quite the mafia/Russian thing to do.
