    Trump Cleans House At NSC: Vindmans Were Tip Of Iceberg As 70 Obama Holdovers Axed

    President Trump has reportedly cleaned house at the National Security Council - firing 70 Obama-era holdovers, according to the Washington Examiner.

    Officials confirmed that Trump and national security adviser Robert O’Brien have cut 70 positions inherited from former President Barack Obama, who had fattened the staff to 200.
    Many were loaners from other agencies and have been sent back. Others left government work.
    Trump was notably impeached by the House and acquitted by the Senate after a NSC 'whistleblower' on loan from the CIA lodged a complaint after approaching the office of House Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-CA), who guided him to a Democratic operative attorney (who loves going to Disneyland alone and once bragged about getting security clearances for 'guys with child porn issues').

    We digress.
    Last week, anti-Trump impeachment witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his twin brother Yevgeny were fired from the NSC and escorted out of the White House by security. While critics have called the move beyond the pale, President Trump noted Alexander Vindman's 'horrendous report' given to him by his supervisor.
    ....was given a horrendous report by his superior, the man he reported to, who publicly stated that Vindman had problems with judgement, adhering to the chain of command and leaking information. In other words, “OUT”.

    "This month, we will complete the right-sizing goal Ambassador O’Brien outlined in October, and in fact, may exceed that target by drawing down even more positions," said NSC senior director for senior communications John Ullyot, in a statement to Secrets.
    Alexander Vindman was reassigned to the Department of the Army, and will attend the US Army War College in Carlisle. No word on his twin.

    Does the stable Genuis have any replacements lined up to replace them?

    The idea of a NSC understaffed with newbies does not confidence give.

    As opposed to a full staff of treasonous bastards?

    That President Trump chose not not follow the NSC script does not make Vindman a treasonous bastard.

    No, but his attempted coup, run entirely in foreknowledge with the other coup plotters like Schiff and Pelosi, and operating independently of the military chain of command does.

    Rather than dismissed and escorted from the premises he should have been arrested and faced a court martial.

    Exactly!

    People like Green Man think Treason is acceptable if it protects the sanctity of the power of Government.

    What part of Trump is the EXECUTIVE have you missed?

    The NSC is to FOLLOW the President directive, not try and attempt a coup.

    Are you SURE you aren't a Russian?

    You sure act like one.
