Alexander Vindman Takes Parting Shot At Donald Trump In Military Resignation Op-Ed

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman on Saturday took aim at President Donald Trump in an op-ed announcing his retirement from the military, in which he likened the Trump administration to an authoritarian regime.

In a column for The Washington Post, Vindman explained that he’d “made the difficult decision to retire” after 21 years service “because a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation by President Trump and his allies forever limited the progression of my military career.”

Vindman, a Purple Heart recipient, was a key witness in the impeachment of Trump over the Ukraine scandal. Trump was accused of pressuring Ukraine’s president to dig up dirt on Democratic rival Joe Biden in exchange for withheld military aid.

Trump fired Vindman, a Ukrainian American, from the National Security Council in February in retaliation for his testimony.

The whole experience was “painful,” Vindman wrote in the editorial.

But he acknowledged he was “not alone in this ignominious fate,” saying his circumstances were “little different from those of dozens of other lifelong public servants who have left this administration with their integrity intact but their careers irreparably harmed.”

“At no point in my career or life have I felt our nation’s values under greater threat and in more peril than at this moment,” Vindman warned. “Our national government during the past few years has been more reminiscent of the authoritarian regime my family fled more than 40 years ago than the country I have devoted my life to serving.”

Vindman also criticized Trump’s disastrous response to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent collapse of the economy.

But he ended on an optimistic note, describing himself as hopeful “for the future for both my family and for our nation” and vowing to “continue to defend my nation.”

“Impeachment exposed Trump’s corruption, but the confluence of a pandemic, a financial crisis and the stoking of societal divisions has roused the soul of the American people,” he said.

“To this day, despite everything that has happened, I continue to believe in the American Dream,” Vindman concluded. “I believe that in America, right matters. I want to help ensure that right matters for all Americans.”

Goldman’s Asia Derivatives Sales Head Spitzer Dies in Hong Kong

(Bloomberg) – Mark Spitzer, head of equities derivatives sales for Asia-Pacific at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., died in a “tragic accident” in Hong Kong, according to an internal memo.

“We are deeply saddened by this sudden and terrible loss. Our immediate focus is supporting Mark’s family and close colleagues during this difficult time,” a Hong Kong-based spokesman for Goldman Sachs said in an emailed reply to Bloomberg.

The South China Morning Post earlier reported that an expatriate banker named Mark Spitzer had died in a fall while hiking with a group of people along the coast of Basalt Island, off Sai Kung district, and a male friend was injured in a rescue attempt. The police confirmed the death of a 38-year-old foreigner after a three-meter fall on Basalt Island, declining to identify the person.

Spitzer was promoted to managing director in 2019 after joining the firm in 2015 as a vice president. He was responsible for distributing equity flow and exotic products to global hedge funds and institutions and made a “significant impact” on the business, the memo said.

The police said that an initial investigation of the accident showed the death was not suspicious and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
