Trump officials demanded the Army ‘dig for misconduct’ to justify firing Lt. Col. Vindman

Vindman expected to go to the National War College this fall—a low-profile assignment—then take another foreign posting,” the New Yorker reported. “But, in a final act of revenge, the White House recently made clear that Trump opposed Vindman’s promotion. Senior Administration officials told [Defense Secretary Mark] Esper and Ryan McCarthy, the Secretary of the Army, to dig for misconduct that would justify blocking Vindman’s promotion. They couldn’t find anything, multiple sources told me. Others in the military chain of command began to warn Vindman that he would never be deployable overseas again—despite his language skills and regional expertise.”
Vindman’s crime was complying with a subpoena.

Trump’s Impeachment Revenge: Alexander Vindman Is Bullied Into Retiring
This is so reprehensible, it really boggles my mind. The chilling effect of this throughout the government is possibly the most despicable thing this dick as done so far.
 
I’m surprised trump didn’t just kill him and collect the bounty.
My sad little joke on this episode is since Vindman is now unemployed, maybe he can get a job with Deutschbank.
 
Pentagon chief confirms he was briefed on intelligence about Russian payments to the Taliban - CNNPolitics

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper confirmed Thursday that he had been briefed on information regarding Russian payments to the Taliban, seemingly acknowledging that Russia's support for the militant group in Afghanistan is not a "hoax," as President Donald Trump has claimed. However, Esper also made clear that he has not seen intelligence that corroborates claims that American troops were killed as a result of the "bounty" payments, walking a delicate line between acknowledging a well-known threat and potentially clashing with the President.
 
This SOB has to go. He is so paranoid he believes everyone is out to make him look bad.

CDC feels pressure from Trump as rift grows over coronavirus response

The June 28 email to the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was ominous: A senior adviser to a top Health and Human Services Department official accused the CDC of “undermining the President” by putting out a report about the potential risks of the coronavirus to pregnant women.

The adviser, Paul Alexander, criticized the agency’s methods, and said its warning to pregnant women “reads in a way to frighten women . . . as if the President and his administration can’t fix this and it is getting worse.”

White Supremacists Blamed for ‘Largest Share’ of Recent Terrorism Fatalities in U.S. | The Crime Report


Violence motivated by white nationalism or hostility towards Muslim immigrants has emerged as a deadlier threat to the U.S. than Islamic terrorism, statistics compiled by the latest annual report of the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) suggest.

Anti-Muslim extremists and adherents of nationalist white supremacy ideology accounted for the largest share of fatal terrorist attacks in the U.S. between 2015 and 2019, according to the GTD report, presented at a webinar Thursday.

“[There was] a sharp increase in racially and ethnically motivated terrorist attacks, many of which were motivated by white supremacy, xenophobia and anti-immigrant beliefs,” GTD program manager Erin Miller told the webinar.

In the 2015-2019 period, U.S. white nationalist groups were held responsible for 34 separate attacks, resulting in 64 deaths. Anti-Muslim extremists were linked to 32 attacks resulting in five deaths.
