      Remember that yourself.

          Yes, the partisan Democrats in the House should get right on that! While they're at it, they should impeach Trump AGAIN!
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              Agreed. Trump is the Don, Barr his appointed Consiglieri, neither of which are fit for the office they hold. I'd say you'll find that out eventually, but I think you already know and would never admit to it anyway.

                Jim, your precious partisan political hacks have overplayed their hand. It's their fault Trump now has a green light, and America is against the Democrats playing anymore games.

                Great job, Dems!

                  Nope, it's your fault CP, that Trump has a green light is your fault, because without your support, without all of you out there that are supporting them, the republicans would never allow Trump to so blatently speed through the red ones without consequences. Now that you've given that green light to him, just watch him go!

                        Or, in this instance, on being urged by the president to help one of his many indicted associates. Some Republicans have actually denounced Trump's intervention in ongoing criminal proceedings - including Donald's minion Lindsey Graham.

                              Vindman wasn't fired, and it would ONLY be a crime if he were fired, demoted, reduced in rank, or whatever - as a result of retaliation for his testimony.

                              Let's look at what you're actually referencing...

                              (e) Whoever knowingly, with the intent to retaliate, takes any action harmful to any person, including interference with the lawful employment or livelihood of any person, for providing to a law enforcement officer any truthful information relating to the commission or possible commission of any Federal offense, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.


                              Absolutely not applicable. Vindman still has a job, was not reduced in rank, pay was not decreased -- the only 'harm' done was, perhaps, his ego was bruised, and that's not covered in the statute.
                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                                Fake news.

                                What part of "serves at the pleasure of the president" don't you guys understand?
