Army officer who reported Trump probably faced retaliation, inquiry finds

…from the Washington Post

[ Editor’s Note: It was nice to see Colonel Vindman get a full clearance from Trump’s smearing attempts in retaliation for his testimony to the impeachment committee.

There are two types of justice that live in DC, the one that comes slowly, and that which never comes. Trump claims to be the ultimate victim, but has a trail of lawsuit victims in his rearview mirror that speak to a different history.



Vindman can now sit back and watch as Trump goes through endless litigation for possibly the rest of his life, and will probably get others to pay for it all, as he has a long track record of making others pay.

That might be what steered him into politics, a place where he could build a political following that he could use when his magic of dancing out of lawsuit courtrooms came to an end.

So three cheers today for the DoD IG sending Mr. Vindman along his life’s journey unsmeared by the Orange Buffoon one man crime wave. Vindman’s family never will have to avoid anyone’s glare, anywhere… Jim W. Dean ]

The Defense Department inspector general’s office determined it is “more likely than not” that Vindman, an Army officer who in 2019 was assigned to the National Security Council, “was the subject of unfavorable personnel actions and that these were in reprisal for his protected communications” with superiors.

…The inspector general’s office recommended no action be taken in Vindman’s case, noting that Army officials promoted him to his current rank last year and removed an unfavorable performance review that Trump administration officials had issued.

…The inspector general’s findings are a remarkable declaration that the Trump administration’s treatment of impeachment witnesses was inappropriate.

A separate Army investigation cited in the watchdog’s report found that NSC attorneys John Eisenberg and Michael Ellis, who issued Yevgeny Vindman a harsh performance appraisal, lacked objectivity and that it “would be difficult to justify” their negative assessment.

…“President Trump specifically identified the Complainant with ire as he defended his telephone call to President Zelensky, and considering the Complainant’s close association with his twin brother and that both reported President Trump’s alleged misconduct, the Complainant’s communications could well have motivated any administration official to take action against him,” the report said.

  1. Horseshit. Sussman trial proved Hillary was the Russiagate file source and this POS, along with Baker, Comey and Adam Schiff kept the fake file weaponization going the entire Trump Presidency and VT sucked their dick the entire time. They all knew the file was fake and kept the lie going and VT was there to support the entire way….Sedition….more correctly the duty of Baker Comey and then Schiff is covered in 18 U.S. Code Chapter 115 – TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES and specifically §2382. Misprision of treason
    “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both”. Vt spent all four years telling us that the russiagate fraud was real…and they are proven WRONG in the Sussman trial.

  2. Vindman vindicated after whistleblower faced direct retaliation from the violator, for pointing out simple truth as was his job. Another reason to love immigrants. They often work harder and know more about our country than most that rail against them.

    “honest man shows up in DC and is instantly punished by the crooks he exposed”

  3. Uncle $hemuel must be smiling. One of his own can join the ranks of Victoria “f-uck the EU” Nuland and Antony “rockstar” Blinken in bringing “democracy” to Ukraine. Perhaps there is no other way than to await the inevitable conflagration with Russia and then rebuild society from scratch—older and wiser… Or, not.
