JUST IN: US Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland, who testified in the impeachment inquiry, says he is being recalled from his post

An adviser to Trump said the firings of the major impeachment witnesses was meant to send a message that siding against the President will not be tolerated."Flushing out the pipes," the adviser told CNN."It was necessary."Vindman was pushed out of his role Friday months earlier than expected, according to a statement from his attorney. Vindman was not slated to leave until July, but had been telling colleagues in recent weeks he would likely leave soon.

"Key impeachment witness Alexander Vindman expects to leave White House post in coming weeks, source saysVindman is expected to return to the Pentagon, though it's still unclear what his assignment will be until he's expected to attend war college this summer. "We welcome back all of our service members, wherever they serve, to any assignment they are given," Defense Secretary Mark Esper had said Friday when asked about Vindman's expected ouster.

Rowdygirlinmt This is the same vindictive guy who fired McCabe hours before retiring. He’s sending a message that if you go up against me I’ll have your head.

Good!

Perfect the president needs to clean house all those people that are in the White House leftovers from the Obama administration he needs to get their asses out of there and put his own people in no holdovers that’s what Clinton did he cleaned up house the minute he took over

The headline should be TRUMP FIRES TWO MAJOR IMPEACHMENT FIGURES WHO DID NOT HAVE THE DECENCY TO RESIGN.

Just what i would have expected of Mussolini or Hitler but not in US 2020. Congratulations Trump as these are the actions of dictators. I hear loyal Von Graham wants to expose the whistle blowers. Most new Dictatorships do this to stop the truth from being heard. Fear works.

What goes around comes around. Duh

Yes, it isn't surprising to us non koolaid drinkers. American voters who see the real deep swamp in WA DC. 45's GOP leaders provided the cover up. American voters just need to vote them out.

Tell Sondland to ask trump for his money back

More need to go....

To the trash with you!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What they did was tantamount to an attempted coup. A success would have made them overnight heroes but a failure is called treason - and is carried thr most severely retribution in most countries.

Most have been sodomized and cant tell.Trump is african

Good riddance

I'm sure ready to vote for Trump for President :)

BYE BYE TRAITOR!

Thanks Adam schiff for brains

Just call Mike Bloomberg...when someone shuts your door God opens a window...

Retaliate much?

Thank goodness. If there was one good thing from this House impeachment, it was it exposed the pathetic career and appointed foreign service types.

See ya!

Good.

Dump Trump 2020! Stand with our Military!!

Get the RATS of the ship , or it will sink

SenSchumer protect these men and all the others. This time go on msnbc, cnn, nbc, send Democrats to tell his lies tell the truth. Stop letting corrupt GOP get there bullshit out you have to come at them face to face stop the COVERUP tell the facts as much as you can!

What did anyone expect? They should have put in their resignation before they were fired. They are not smart.

Yes know your enemies and your friends..... How's that our buusiness

Sondland should collect his $1m back from the impeached motherf*cker

Purging of 5th column!

Good as they should.

Vindman wasn't fired. FAKE NEWS goes on

Good recall all and replace

It's common sense. I would do the same

Good for Trump!

Revenge

Bye bye Ginny

Impeachment at the Whe Huse, sucks when you lie to destroy innocents and it bites you in the ole buttocks

Good riddance! I would not want them on my team!

That’s wierd. Surprised he wasn’t given a raise. 🙄

It feels so wrong. It's like the empire won over two Luke Skywalkers

So everyone that testified against trump has been punished That’s illegal

Good!!! That is his prerogative and right.

Common sense would tell you why President wouldn't want them working for him and they shouldn't want to!! Geewiz

Glad he’s gone! I didn’t like the looks of this guy

Good!

Hahahaha great news

Isn't this the guy who paid $1 million for his position? I'd call that karma and not in the same category as Vindman, a true hero. Still, I hope he has the money and power to clap back at Trump.

Sondland when he got into work this morning:

Good deal! Both made up stuff to noticed and it backfired.

Vindicative ass Trump. If he was innocent and felt they lied he would have proven it. Instead the coward fires ppl for doing their duty for our country. He forgets...their duty is not to him!

Well, I'm not surprised. I mean hell he can't have those kind of people around that tell the truth and have a conscience. Wake up America.

If I were president Trump I will also recalled you for testify against the man that gave you a job

👎

Firevyrump and his fleabags this is a democracy for f$^ sake

Shame.

.

Recalled. He’s fired.

Drain that swamp

Naturally they have to be transferred. They still have a job ppl ! If its you would you keep a snake close to you after biting you ? These ppl presumed everything...their assumptions lead this country to waste of money & time & in cahoots to impeach trump !

Worst million Sondland ever spent

Surprise surprise, HeadOnAPike

Only a draft dodger like Donald Trump would fire a military veteran like Vindman. Donald Trump is a scared dog who knows the military sees through his fake outrage.

Today the wanna be Dictator in Chief initiated his post impeachment trial purge. It’s only the beginning.

🙂

Hey CNN would you like to tell the whole story, oh no, I guess not.

Yes!

What next is this president is going to do next and the Republicans will be responsible for every auctions that president trump dose boy president trump is going to make the Republicans look like fools.

Those chaps were appointed and not elected. Inasmuchas Trump is an asshole to some people, you don't vote directly or indirectly to have your Principal removed and then expect to retain your job after he(your principal) survived. Trump was and still right on this.

As well he should be!AquittedForever

No foreign terrorist could destroy 🇺🇸 as completely as Trump!👀👂 He's destroying the 🇺🇸 from the core! Republicans are assisting in the destruction.🔔WTH?!😢😢 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

TRUMP 2020 N 2024

Best news

About time

He showed his incompetence at the hearings.....this was an obvious needed change.

Good for him.

Talk about abuse of power. You guys are in for a hell of a hard 8 months. Eights months of a dictator. It was nice to see at least one Republican that had a set of balls to say GUILTY of the Abuse of Power charge. I hope the rest now SEE IT, or are they still blind to the fact.

It's not retaliation, the president is allowed to have who he chooses in the Whitehouse. They didn't loose their jobs they will go back to their military jobs.

It's like the baptism scene in 'The Godfather'.

Sondland, Yovanovich, Vindman! So tired of winning.

This makes me sick ! This is what a candy ass Republican Party let happen !

Beautiful work! 🤣

Trump is corrupt and the republicans Senate is just as corrupt, to work with Trump to rig the NOT trial. A trial without witnesses or evidence, ISN'T A Trial it's a fixed situation. So here how a real trial is supposed to go. Which means Trump was never proven innocent!

See yah.

God for him why not waiting for some more spying on Trump

I think you should interview Sondland NOW and see what he has to say. He held back before. SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff

Recall your donation!!!

Lucy__Mills Serves at the pleasure... and it would have made the MSM crazy if he'd have been pulled prior to the losing effort.

President Trump is taking out the trash!

Trump doesn't like anyone who isn't a TOTAL Boot-Licker.

Think he'll get his million bucks back that he 'donated' ?!!?

Actual patriots as opposed to the traitor in the Oval Office.

America....make it count in November....

The word of the day boys and girls is RETALIATION. 😡

Haha

This is sheer treachery of Trump against honest officials who believe in the workings of the American constitution. The rule of law is certainly gone to the dogs when AmericanPresident violates the constitution and engages in arm twisting. Voters must punish Trump

These are the same people who tried to sell Avenatti as a legit Democrat presidential candidate Pushed the RussiaHoax Pushed the SmolletHoax Pushed the RecessionHoax Pushed the WorldWar3Hoax FakeNewsCNN

Trump settling scores.

👏👏👏 Clean house!!!

Good!

News Flash-Any President determines policy, not some dip ship Lt Col tht didn't report his concern up the chain of command. THAT is what discredits him.

GOOD! The ppl of America don't need this figures of dishonest in the leadership.

This is ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT

Tyranny!

He can now work at CNN...

Good

This is what a dictator does

A real patriot thank you sir great 👍🏾

Love it!

realDonaldTrump says he's innocent yet withholds info and witnesses and is now firing the people that exposed the things he's trying to hide You people just created the first dictator of the USA, its not a presidency anymore.

Colonel vindman thank you for your service. I'm sure that we all knew that this was going to happen and it's a shame that in America this is happening everyone needs to vote blue

Books?

Vindman, you have to answer for Santino....

Traitors!!

Vindman is a leaker and he deserves to be fired. The President has every right to his own privacy just like everyone else. This people are all out to take down the president. Time to clean all the evil planted in the white house. Trump is the commander in chief, not Vindman

This is one of the national threats, leakers and Obama holdovers, trying to see that this Administration fails but disgrace is for them now.

Wow what a fantastic week, all the backstabbing leakers and Democrat stooges being recalled.

By corporate standards Trumps a failure Trained by corporate(America) To train corporate(Leaders) Trumps a failure in business & life Only thing he's good at its lying A miser cannot enter heaven - Jesus

To say Vindman was fired is incorrect. He is still a serving officer in the US Army and has not been discharged. He has been reassigned would be the correct phrase but that’s wouldn’t be click bait now would it?

Good.

Bye!

So any day now some of his closest friends will take him for a long drive, down a dark abandoned road, from which he shall never return... That's how America works now right? Sincerely, Friendly neighbour that's trying to keep up

you are a little late to the game. Everyone else knew 2 or more hours ago.. Keep up...js

What else is expected of a president who has been reassured he can get away with anything. The founding fathers of gop would be ashamed of what their party has ended up becoming.
