Trump ousts ambassador who testified in impeachment inquiry

Sondland said in a statement Friday that Trump intends to recall him effective immediately. The action came just hours after Alexander Vindman, the decorated soldier and national security aide who played a central role in the impeachment case, was escorted out of the White House complex.

“I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement. Sondland was a crucial witness in the House impeachment inquiry, telling investigators that “Everyone was in the loop” on Trump’s desire to press Ukraine for politically charged investigations. He told lawmakers how he came to understand that there was a “quid pro quo” connecting a desired White House visit for Ukraine’s leader and an announcement that the country would conduct the investigations the president wanted.

BrianRoss Well good. In addition to changing his testimony a few times, he sounded kind of dopey. Surely we can get a better ambassador.

Good move Mr President!!! Get rid of these sleaze bags!!

Putin Jr.!

Have dinner at Jules Verne at Eiffel tower before you leave the EU and know you understand that more than T with his meatloaf dinners . Thanks for testifying. You eventually came clean.

As is his right. Nothing to see here, move along.

damaging testimony? his third hand, assumptions? 😂 is that why realDonaldTrump was removed? because of how damaging wussy sonland’s testimony was? as always, you’re a joke

Good. Oust all of them. No one has the right to collect money and compromise international security. OUT.

Friday Night Post Impeachment Massacre

Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the president

You should ask trump for your money back.

From MSNBC: I wonder if the ambassador got a supportive, reassuring letter like this other patriot received:

So, if he had lied under oath he would still be in Trump’s good graces...same with the Lieutenant Colonel...if he had lied then everything would be just fine...I’m just trying to clarify how Trump works...

No more million dollar donation

Lots of pikes.

Congress, are we safer now?

The pogrom by the lunatic POTUS continues and is not over.

Bravo Karma 👍

The man was with this crime syndicate

Really? What was the damaging testimony? Oh ya, his presumptions.

Don't worry American voters will take care of Terrible Trump and the Radical Republicans.

First Yovanovich, then Vindman, now this. This is literally how The Godfather ends.

Does he get his $1,000,000 donation back?

We have a dictator that's currently head of state. Glad Gordon stood up to trump.

Amigo, no more.

Another one bites the dust...

More Winning! Drain the Swamp.
