The end of our Democracy – is at hand!
The White House plans to transfer Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, whose testimony in the House impeachment hearings infuriated President Trump and his allies, out of the National Security Council staff as early as Friday, two senior administration officials said.
Mr. Trump essentially confirmed the move in brief comments with reporters before leaving on a day trip to North Carolina. “I’m not happy with him,” the president said of Colonel Vindman. His senior officials, he added, would inform the colonel of his future soon. “They’ll make that decision.”
It was not immediately clear where he would next be sent within the Defense Department, one administration official said, but Colonel Vindman is on active duty in the military.
When I took the job [as Navy secretary] I came in as a grown-up,” said Spencer, a former Marine aviator and a lifelong Republican. “Every morning I put my resignation paper in my pocket so [I} could speak truth.”
“I took my stand, the president took his. It’s all over.” said Spencer.
“This decision here is for the good of the country,” she said. “Loyalty is to the country, not to a person.”
