Alexander Vindman is a US Amry Infantry Officer; SALUTE!

[rightwinger]

Who said Republicans can’t call witnesses?
They have to wait their turn

Schiff said. I don't remember any trials, outside of the Soviet Union, where the prosecution got all the time they wanted to present their case while the defense was shut out and ignored.

Republicans will be able to call witnesses who have relevant testimony

Can’t wait to hear from Trump, Rudy and Pompeo

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

Funny you apply that term to a liar who deserved a little exposure.

 

[Pogo]

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.........

Personally, I think he IS the whistleblower and I am not alone with that thought.

---------------------------------------------------------------- And?

I don't get your point. Are we supposed to pretend that whistleblowing is a BAD thing now?

Because if that were the case anybody could LITERALLY get away with anything.

"Illegitimately"?

Impeachment is in the US Constitution and it is in there for acts trump engaged in.

That hasn't even remotely been demonstrated and in fact Adam Schiff is conducting a show trial
right now in order to keep republicans from putting up a proper defense and rebuttal to this contrived scam.

This is about as "legitimate" as that other politicized joke Schiff was involved up to his neck in, the Russian collusion
hoax. Grow up.

What evidence have the republics offered to counter all the testimony that trump asked country for an investigation of the Bidens and the wingnut Russian conspiracy that the Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election?

Because I have watched the inquiry and no one has yet.

Try the actual transcripts. It is clear there is no quid pro quo. Even some of Trump's political enemies say the 'actual' call is not a violation in any sense. That makes this show even more ridiculous. Each witness so far has been a bigger disaster than the one before. Colonial Klink was a bigger disgrace than the clueless diplomats. Even though this show is horrible for the country, I must admit it is entertaining. It is so bad, it is funny. Pass the popcorn for the next witness, because they have been getting worse each time.

EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland just made you a liar.

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

Aren't we all though.

Our country is being run like/by a cult.

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Of course but combat doesn't make you less political...it enhances it....

As compared to the partisan scumbags trying to discredit him? Please...

Turn on your TV and enjoy the show. Sondland has just taken down Trump, Pence, Pompeo and Giuliani for bonus points. None of those are Dems.

Trump said "No Quid Pro Quo" that's it....its over...no republican will vote for impeachment.....enjoy your day scumbag....

LC Vindman came up the hard way going infantry.

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

What Vindman did was pure insubordination.

Vindman stated that at the time of the Ukraine phone call, he was unaware that Joe Biden had bragged about blackmailing Ukraine into firing the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden's former employer.

Vindman drew his own ignorant assumptions as to what he thought Trump's motivations and intentions might be, and then attached his own conspiracy theories and nefarious intentions to Trump. It's simply not his place to do so.

However, if Vindman needed needed clarification as to what he just witnessed from that phone call, he should have asked his immediate superior to help explain it to him. None of these people should be going behind the president's back, to gossip with their speculative assumptions, and ridicule the president; but that is what they were doing.

People at lower levels only see small pieces of a much larger picture. They should be well aware that they are not privy to the details of information which guide the decision making of their superiors.

What Vindman did was pure insubordination. It's completely out of line for anyone like Vindman to speculate as to what motivates or compels their superiors. It makes it even worse when they complain to people outside the chain of command, about their superiors, and gossip while passing along classified information which those people were not cleared to receive.

This type of sniveling behavior is what I'd see from undisciplined, whiny little non-comm troublemakers. Sadly some disloyal petulant senior enlisted and officers would engage in it too.

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.

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. 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.

In other words you are a republican who is too ashamed to admit it.....because Trump has done nothing different than what most republican admins have done....cut taxes on the wealthy, deregulate the financial sector and explode the deficit....

This belief that Trump is some anomaly to what the GOP has stood on for 40 years is a fantasy....

So Vindman did report to Morrison? Or did he go around his superior to burn the commander and chief.

By the leaky bowels of Braackkk "chickenshit" Johnson whistleblowing is trust or lack of it. We don't trust you.

What matters more to you....who he reported to or what he reported??

If someone reported evidence of a murder, would you be more concerned about the evidence or who he reported it to?

 

[Gracie]

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.

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.

What exactly did I skip over?

I don't bother responding to you because you have dire need of reading comprehension skills...so whatever I say will be over your head.

I would think that it is clear that the commander in chief created this situation with his demand for the Quid Pro Quo.

Again, you should follow the evidence.

By what insane twist of cultist logic? Are you nuts? Look at what Trump has done to your brain.
