Twin Lts. Colonel Vindmans involuntarily separated from their ahh jobs today. I was unaware that a copy existed. I wouldn't have expected both to have attained identical rank and prestigious duties in the White House either--What are the odds of twin meritocracy in a bureaucracy favored by nepotists?

Anyway, twitterverse vanguard of ignorant, most litigious nation on planet objects, suspects most foul play by commander-in-chief, because ... idk ... "abuse of power"? Civil servant immunity clause in the US Uniform Code of Military Justice? A Title VII infraction masquerading as a legit business need?

NEWS: Alex Vindman's twin brother Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, an ethics lawyer for the NSC, was also dismissed from his job today, sources tell me.

Hours later cold water appears to extinguish suspicions of retaliation, adverse career trajectories.

Where are the Vindman brothers heading? Lieutenant Colonel Yevgeny Vindman is going to Office of General Counsel at Army at the Pentagon. Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman is going to work at the Pentagon until he heads to war college on July 1.
