Trump ousts impeachment witness Gordon Sondland
By Brett Samuels - 02/07/20 06:55 PM EST

President Trump on Friday ousted Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, making him the second official who testified in the House impeachment inquiry to be dismissed.

"I was advised today that the president intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” Sondland said in a statement.

"I am proud of our accomplishments," Sondland added, thanking Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. "Our work here has been the highlight of my career.”


Sondland's statement came just hours after Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was removed from his post with the National Security Council and escorted off the White House grounds.

This should be a lessen to all future Presidents...Fire everyone the day you are sworn in and replace with your own people or people you can trust..

Yes removal is the consequence of a win.
Any delay always brings out the whys.

Let the losers employ their own at their expense.
Certainly cull them from the government teat.

@Cyber Liberty

One would think that the knowledge that Clinton and Bathhouse Barry had done so would make firing their appointees MANDATORY.

Trump didn't have a clue of what to do when he entered the WH and a politician he wasn't.  He quickly learned there was more to the job then running the country like a corporation.  He has really amazed me and I think a lot of people.  Nancy and Chuckie included.

Well, Trump did that eventually and many of those hires didn't pan out either.

@Cyber Liberty

And make sure the dog didn't come from a DC shelter. Even the dogs in DC learn at a early age to not trust anyone.

The beauty of Trump's confrontational style is that he so emotionally terrorizes the broken Democrats and MSM that his "Victory Lap" on Thursday and the first of the (hopefully many) clean-outs of Deep State Quislings from the NSC and DoS yesterday completely nullified coverage of the NH Primary debate last night.   Nobody even knew it was on.   :cool:
