“You’re Fired” – Donald Trump wreaks revenge on his own un-supportive  party members

Trump fires two major impeachment figures -- Alexander Vindman and Gordon Sondland

The first to go…

During the Trump campaign, Gordon Sondland donated a million dollars and after the victory was made ambassador to the European Union. His testimony over the president’s alleged abuse of power was a key moment in the trial.

The problem is that it made him a marked man, it was only a matter of time before he would be recalled. Sondland said in a statement Friday that he is being recalled from his post. He now has plenty of time on his hands to ponder the wisdom of giving a million dollars to join Team Trump.

And the second…

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, a decorated war veteran and national security official, he was also a witness against the president, he was the next to go.

An adviser to Trump said the firings of the major impeachment witnesses were meant to send a message that siding against the President will not be tolerated, he went on to say, “just flushing out the pipes, It was necessary.”
Vindman was pushed out of his role Friday months earlier than expected, according to a statement from his attorney. Vindman was not supposed to leave until July, but had been telling colleagues in recent weeks he would likely leave soon.
