The problem is that Vindman was willing to honor a Congressional subpoena and was unwilling to lie for the PresidentRetarted bullshit, in any sane trial highly relevant evidence and witnesses can be introduced.
Proposition that prosecutors (trial managers here) can be stoppped by the jury (Congressional Republicans, who pledged to work "hand-in-glove" with the defense) is a product of shameless politics not good faith process in pursuit of justice and truth.
EVEN SO. We have a long list of Senate Republicans that agree that Trump is in fact guilty of the wrongdoing in Ukraine just as Atricle I charged. These findings ARE bipartisan.
And yet their votes didn't reflect that.
Horsecrap, Mitt's vote did reflect exactly that, but your argument is pure red herring either way.
Their vote was not for lack of evidence, these Republicans agree that Trump is culpable and what they are actually publicly saying with their vote is that removing him for it should be left to voters.
Either way, these improprieties are real and Vinman was correct to report what he saw to NSC lawyers and then give his truthful testimony to Congress as he was required by law.
Republicans now wanting to hang him for doing the right thing is deplorable.
One day when Trump is long gone it just may be a Democrat in the White House who is doing something wrong, so be careful where you fools are going with this, because guess what, there will be no one left to report it.
Well the next commie President will be impeached by a Republican led House because your people created this impeachment war. Thanks to them, you no longer need a crime or an impeachable offense to be impeached. Just do something the leaders of the House don't like, and off to impeachment we go.
Romney is not really a Republican. He's hated Trump since before he ran for office. HIs vote was out of hatred, not based on wrong or right. Vindman is part of the deep state. In fact, he was at the last Democrat primary when Biden kissed his ass right on stage. You can't have people in your administration working against you. That's why Trump got rid of him.
If you were a manager of a baseball team, and your pitcher was rooting for the other side, do you put him in the game? Of course not. You put in players that want your side to win. You don't want your pitcher walking batters, missing a ball hit in his direction, allowing base runners to steal bases. Only an idiot would do that. So if you see your pitcher acting that way, you take him out of the game. That's what Trump did.
Lets be clear you have not called Vindman a liar... So you are saying a decorated officer should be fired for telling the truth.
He was not fired, he was sent back to his previous job in the DOD. It's likely he'll be at work first thing tomorrow morning.
My opinion is that it was Vindman who started this entire show. He was likely the one who gave the whistleblower the information that led to this impeachment in the first place. His former supervisor testified that basically, Vindman was not to be trusted.
