Heads in a pike has a wider scope than the UNAMERICAN RepubliCON senators…the Revanchist Criminal IMPotus is on his vengeful streak!

He’s military. They could have just transferred him. The employment equivalent of a perp walk seemed unnecessary.

Elsewhere I read his “attorney” as referenced in this story is Ambassador David Pressman. Not sure what’s going on here, maybe Mediaite has it wrong. Former Ambassador?

“LTC Vindman was asked to leave for telling the truth.”

In fact, they did. I think he was sent back to his unit. He was sacked from his NSC position.
