What you need to remember about Vindman

Lt. Col., don't call me Sir, Vindman was just fired from the White House, but not the military, and Democrats are furious.

There are many reasons why Vindman should have been fired but here's the biggest one that Democrats can't argue about; Vindman admitted to falsifying the transcript of a Trump conversation to make it look like the talking points Vindman wanted Trump to talk about were talked about when they weren't.



No President should have to retain the services of someone who is deliberately falsifying what the President says.

Among the other reasons was Vindman testifying that it was wrong of Trump to not follow the bureaucratic consensus.  Apparently Vindman believes that we the people don't get to set foreign policy through our selection of our President.

The final nail in Vindman's working at the White House coffin was hat he admitted that he advised Ukrainians to ignore Trump's requests.  No President should have to endure that sort of disloyalty from subordinates.

There are other reasons, like Vindman's ignorance of Hunter Biden's role at Burisma, but the preceding are more than sufficient to boot Vindman from the White House.

It's less clear why his brother was also removed from the White House but there were reports that he could have been behind leaking the Bolton manuscript.
