He may have a lust for vengeance, like many a mob boss does, but his real reason, like their's, is to send a message to others who are loyal to the U.S. rather than to Trump himself, that he will come after them like he has done to all those who have dared speak truth to power since his becoming President. The ways of an authoritarian wannabe dictator are easy to spot for those whose eyes are open.

Trump was motivated by his desire to get an admitted leaker out of the White House. And Vindman is still employed, he just has a different job description now. It's too bad Trump doesn't have the authority to assign him to latrine duty.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

It also says "harmful action". In what way was Vindman harmed?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

"Lietenant Colonel Vindman, did you discuss the July 25 phone call with anyone outside the White House on July 25 or the 26 and if so, with whom? Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California inquired.
Yes. I did, Vindman answered in the affirmative.

As I think about it, I know why Vindman didn't have the guts to blow the whistle himself: because he couldn't lie on an official report without putting his pudgy butt on the line. But by feeding his lies to Ciaramella and letting the latter blow the proverbial whistle, Vindman was able to get his lies on record, and because Ciaramella was only reporting hearsay, he has inherent plausible deniability.
Very sneaky. Very dishonorable.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
