Alexander Vindman is a US Amry Infantry Officer; SALUTE!

I dont care what he says about Trump, he is a real man and worthy of our respect.

Good for you, Jim. Integrity matters.

Vindman is more loyal to the country than he is to Trump.

And for that he's gotta pay.

That is the problem with Trumpists.

They confuse loyalty to the country, the Constitution, and the office of the president with loyalty to the person of Trump.

I am not a "Trumpist", but I am not like you in confusing loyalty to party with loyalty to country.

If he were loyal to Country, he would have objected to Joe Biden strong-arming the Ukrainians into calling off an investigation into the company that was enriching his son, and then bragging that he did. This was a case of ACTUAL quid pro quo, and one involving influence pedaling, no less.

This is obviously not a man of principle, otherwise, he would have complained about the MUCH more egregious abuse of power. Whatever Trump did or did not do or did or did not suggest, it absolutely pales in comparison to the Biden's corruption.

You are loyal to your own ideology that has consistently lined up with the Republican Party.

I am loyal to facts. Biden was was following US, EU, and IMF policy when it came to concerns about Ukraine. This is well established. No investigation was called off. That too is established.

In fact what you accuse Biden of should be framed in the same manner....”whatever Biden did or did not do” rather than absolute certainty because the evidence to support those assertions simply isn’t there.

At most, we have a scenario where Bidens involvement in Ukraine and his son’s employment in Burisma doesn’t LOOK good....and that was raised as a concern by several people (and I agree). But if you are going to damn him without further evidence then look at Trump and his children as well...at how their business interests have intersected with the presidency both nationally and internationally.

I watched the testimony

Republicans complain about process and say Trump can do anything he wants in foreign policy while they attack the witnesses

Do you watch? Show me the number of witnesses the republicans have been allowed to call.

I believe that number is zero!

It is the exact same rules that were used during the Clinton impeachment.

 

[Coyote]

After today it's obvious he's no hero

He's finished... with good reason.

Of course Vindman is not a hero to the Trumpettes.

Vindman put country ahead of their Orange Messiah- the ultimate treason.

He perjured himself.
.
Think again

How specifically?

Alexander Vindman - Wikipedia

After graduating from State University of New York at Binghamton in 1998, Vindman joined the United States Army and became a career Army officer.[3] He completed the Infantry Officer Basic Course (IOBC) at Fort Benning in 1999 and deployed the next year to South Korea, where he commanded infantry and an anti-armor platoon.[3] In addition to overseas deployments to South Korea and Germany, Vindman is a combat veteran.[3] He was deployed to Iraq to take part in the Iraq War from September 2004 to September 2005.[2] In October 2004,[2] he sustained an injury from a roadside bomb in Iraq, for which he received a Purple Heart.[3] He was promoted to the rank of major in 2008,[6] and to lieutenant colonel in September 2015.[7]

During his Army career, Vindman earned the Ranger Tab, Combat Infantryman Badge, Expert Infantryman Badge and Parachutist Badge, as well as four Army Commendation Medals and two Defense Meritorious Service Medals.[2]

Beginning in 2008, Vindman became a Foreign Area Officer specializing in Eurasia. In this capacity he served in the U.S. embassies in Kiev, Ukraine, and Moscow, Russia. Returning to Washington, D.C. he was then a politico-military affairs officer focused on Russia for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Those above qualifications are not easy to come by, even for kiss ass officers.

Those that worked with him did not believe he was a hero. He was lazy, a leaker, big ego and people did not want to go on trips when he went. Not much of a shining star, huh?

Link?

His only job is to give advice.............He doesn't make policy........and in the military he carry's out that policy.............

We elect those who are the Real Decision Makers.................His CONCERN.........doesn't mean a thing..........If he has no real evidence of a crime............then he might well have leaked to those who don't need to know issues regarding Executive Priviledge......

If he had first hand knowledge of a crime...........then why didn't he become the whistleblower......

This whole thing stinks to the high heavens.............and his service doesn't give him the right to go around Executive Priviledge.........

He isn’t making policy.

I don't care what he says either, but just because someone has a strong military career does not make them beyond reproach. The narrative is already being set here by the left and the media for any criticism of him.

I think criticism should be based on reality, his actual actions, not attacks on his patriotism, claims of being a spy, attacks on his service. It seems that they can’t attack the message so they try to smear the messenger.

He revealed himself to be a right **** today in his interactions with Devin Nunez. is that criticism reality-based enough for you?

Actually it was Nunes who was the ass.

Sorry...but how he was raised and what trials he faced is not to be confused to what he is doing NOW. He lies. He is petty. He is deep state and if he were really concerned about our country, he would have declined to comment from the get go. He didn't. And he has shown everyone just who he really is...NOW. I have no respect for the man. Period.

What did he lie about? Funny that you complain about him lying, but you support Trump and he lies every time he opens his mouth.

Has Trumps lies affected the economy? Affected our livelihoods? I don't give a damn if he lies. I care about what he DOES.

Wow, so you care about others lying, but when it comes to Trump you love him so much you don't care if he lies.

And until the Dems actually get another nominee that is sane, fair, untainted..I will continue to vote Trump for as long as I can. I am independent. I vote for whomever I think is the best at what they are running for. Non partisan. No head in the sand.

Again..just my opinion.

You are basically just the typical hypocritical Trump Humper.

And you don't have very good reading skills and just skip over what anyone says that is contrary to your own opinions.

War heroes slammed Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council official who testified Tuesday in the impeachment inquiry’s third public hearing.

Vindman is a disgrace!

"I wish the left wouldn’t use his uniform to make him a saint".

I read your link. Seems nobody else bothered to do so. The OP is praising a uniform..not his agenda.

Try to get Mr. Morrison's testimony. He was his superior .

What lie has Vindman told? From h is military cultural perspective, 'asking for a favor' is the same thing as receiving a command.

He is forgetting that Trump is not a veteran and does not see it that way, nor should Vindman.

Vindman is too locked into his world view to understand that Trump was not making a demand.

He honestly believes that Trump was targetting Biden with talk about Burisma.

Which is brilliant on Burismas part. They got the Democrats to protect them but putting one of theirs on their board, and I really think that the addict Hunter is not fully grasping the nature of the arrangement. He feels lucky to be Bidens son and is milking it, but I get the feeling he simply is not thinking it all through. He is a fool.

But Burisma is in effect getting the protection that they want by setting up the Democrats into thinking that any effort to investigate Burisma is an effort to bring down Biden.

Trump has triggered them into drawing attention to Hunters lifestyle and 'business' all by their own activities to get him, lol.

Actually it was Nunes who was the ass.

How? Because Nunes forgot to address Vindman by his rank?

I thought that was a cheap trick to put Nunez off his game, myself.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Why do you think Vindman sees himself as undermining our democracy?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Honorable service has nothing to do with one's political beliefs. I find it inappropriate that he chose to appear in full uniform with his medals on display. The message is "I'm a hero you can't question my motives".

He was not wearing medals.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

So far the dems have policy differences.....wow...

Yeah, some people have a problem with policy being used to benefit the president personally. Weird.

I am still waiting for one of you retards to explain how this benefits Trump personally?

You don't have an answer, do you?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Well try getting it out of the house let alone the senate....as of today there is no way impeachment gets approved in the house...no way!!!

The Senate is full of "5th avenue" types more loyal to Trump than the country.
The House has more investigating to do. Hopefully the courts put an end to Trump's obstruction soon so that the House's subpoenas can start being honored.

Cannot happen. Executive privilege will be upheld.
