Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a key witness in Pres. Trump's impeachment inquiry, is retiring from the U.S. Army, citing a 'campaign of bullying' and 'retaliation' directed by Trump.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman testified under subpoena during the House impeachment hearing.'s impeachment inquiry, said in a tweet Wednesday he is retiring from the U.S. Army after more than 21 years of military service, saying his future"will forever be limited" due to political retaliation.

Key Impeachment witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman has been removed from White House job on Feb. 7, 2020, but remains active duty in the military. According to U.S. officials, the resignation comes as Vindman's name was included among the Army's list of officers selected for promotion to colonel. The promotion list provided by the Army had been reviewed by the Department of Defense’s office of Personnel and Readiness for the past two to three weeks. Last Thursday that office had reviewed the list and recommended to Esper that he approve it. The review process by P&R took a bit longer because of a new demographic initiative put in place by Esper a month ago after George Floyd’s death.

And his point is.

He's just trying to make Trump look bad because he doesn't want him to win the election. And someone is probably paying his to make the president look bad.

This guy is a crybaby.

Military officials should not involve in partisan battle before retirement.

Vindman should be court martialed for treason but he won’t be. Instead, he’ll write a 200 page memoir about his sorry career and make a couple of million from it. Pretty nice reward for a turncoat.

BAHAHAHAHA!! Good riddance to a poor officer who forgot what chain of command means!

Lt. Col. Vindman, you are a true American Patriot and will be remembered so. Which is far more than realDonaldTrump, senatemajldr, LindseyGrahamSC, and Susan Collins may ever claim.

Bye.

This is how realDonaldTrump completely fails as Commander-in-Chief. He has no respect for the military, and offers no support the forces, or the brave patriots who have lead those men for decades before him. TrumpUnfit

Vindman ought to take his pension and move out of America. We got no room for a Neo Nazi colonel.

We must reject and defeat Trumpism.

Trump is bankrupting our most valuable asset. Our people.

Actions have consequences.

For God and Country. Thank you for your service and Patriotism Sir.

I hope with the next administration he is brought back and given high honors for his service. Our country owes him an apology.
