Vindictive wanker behaves like a vindictive wanker? Surprise!
Sondland and Vindman were both planning to leave — but Trump pushed them out early to humiliate them: CNNAccording to CNN’s 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 Trump’s thinking said that the president “didn’t 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.
