"There's no investigation into him", Army Secretary McCarthy said regarding Col. Alexander Vindman.

McCarthy did not explain why he felt the need to say that. Vindman testified truthfully under oath as required. What would there be to investigate?


Article 133 Conduct unbecoming...
Article 134 Conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline

Either of those could’ve been pushed or strongly hinted at from above.  Making waves on national TV in any way would’ve brought up problems whether civilian or military.  To quote 5 CFR 735.203 in pertinent part: “ An employee shall not engage in criminal, infamous, dishonest, immoral, or notoriously disgraceful conduct, or other conduct prejudicial to the  Government.”

That he’s being packed off to war college means his career will actually advance.
