Opinion | Trump's purges show he didn't learn anything from being impeached

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel arrogance is blinding.

I don't see why firing people who actively work against your policies is somehow abusing the office of President. The two NSC guys he fired were just butt-hurt because he didn't follow their policy, heed their advice and use their talking points. I listened to the LTC's testimony and he appeared to have been actively working to undermine Trump's foreign policy. Serving at the NSC is a privilege afforded few O-5s and was probably meant as career broadening, not national policy making. The LTC should be investigated under Article 132 of the UCMJ to determine if he disobeyed a direct order from the President (not to honor Congressional subpoenas). If found to have been either insubordinate or to have disobeyed a direct order, then he should be offered to opportunity to retire in lieu of prosecution.

Firing an Ambassador is completely within the President's power. (Article 2, Section 2) The guy sounded pretty scatter brained when he testified. He admitted his entire testimony was based on his "presumption" about the President's policy and intentions. In fact he testified under oath that the President told him he wanted "nothing" from Ukraine.

Exercising the powers granted to the office is not being a dictator. Sometimes it's necessary for a leader to fire people. I did it in the public sector and I'm a nobody. Government employees have too little accountability IMO, I'm glad to see the President holding them to account for their actions.

The silly Dem's are the ones abusing their office for crying out loud! Trump needs to show them that they will be punished for trying to bring down a duly elected president! The whole Impeachment Joke was a scam! The American people should never have to go thru this ever again!
