Lt. Col. Vindman Retires from Military; Impeachment Witness Blames Trump

[Breitbart] Lt. Col.
~~Sausage~~
Alexander Vindman, a key witness in House Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, announced his retirement from the U.S. military on Wednesday, blaming Trump for shortening his military career.

Vindman, a Purple Heart recipient in the Iraq War, had worked at the National Security Council (NSC) and heard the telephone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in July which Democrats claimed Trump coerced his counterpart to interfere in the 2020 presidential election by launching investigations into Joe Biden.
So now Tammy Duckworth (D- ~~Ill~~ Hates America) is left holding the bag. Nice play, idiot
