Sondland and Vindman were both planning to leave but Trump pushed them out early to humiliate them: CNNAccording to CNNs sources, both Sondland and Vindman had seen their standings diminished significantly after they appeared before Congress and under subpoena during the House of Representatives impeachment inquiry, which prompted them to begin planning their exits.
However, sources described as familiar with Trumps thinking said that the president didnt want them to go quietly, despite pleas from advisers and Republican senators to not create a public spectacle by firing prominent impeachment witnesses.

He is just so fucking petty...
I have no sympathy for Sondland of course but for the CIC to break the law for childish point scoring, against people standing up for the rule of law... November cannot come soon enough. Bloody big man baby.

(115,597 posts)1. Like firing Andy McCabe the day before he became eligible for his pension
even though he was about to retire anyhow. Just to fuck with him, because he could.

The practice of firing (or downsizing) employees just to screw them out of pensions is something most working folk have seen personally.
That would be, I thought, the straw to break the camel's back, but it hardly made a stir.

And he hasn't figured out whose children to kidnap next.
