From Raw Story
The White House legislative liaison is seeking revenge as President Donald Trump faces an impeachment trial in the Senate.
According to Bloomberg reporter Daniel Flatley, legislative affairs director Eric Ueland walked past a group of reporters at the Capitol and said, I cant wait for revenge.
Ueland apparently has a penchant for vengeance.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), one of Trumps fiercest defenders in the House, suspects Ueland pushed to keep him off the impeachment defense team as payback for his vote to limit the presidents war powers, reported Politico.
I dont know why it would serve someone in the White House to manufacture a divide between the president and one of his best communicators during impeachment, Gaetz told the website.
Ueland declined to comment on Gaetzs remarks, but he did mention the lawmakers support for a House resolution to prevent further U.S. military action against Iran.

Short piece, nothing more at link: https://www.rawstory.com/2020/01/i-cant-wait-for-revenge-white-house-aide-vows-payback-over-trump-impeachment-trial/
Another article had Ueland bragging about "the revenge" that would be coming.
Is Ueland just blowing smoke, or should we expect something? If so, what is he talking about? Anybody have any theories about what's up with this?

Another sociopath like Trump. Not a surprise. If only the Republicans would realize his reign of terror would be over if they do the right thing.

"suite" right next to his hero tRUMP. Vengeance is something that goes around and comes around.

Just goes to show that these clowns shouldn't be in any kind of power. They have no concern for, no thought of, what's best for the country. They don't know what the word "policy" even means. It's just a political game for them.
