Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, who heard President Trump’s July phone call with Ukraine’s president and was alarmed, testified that he tried and failed to add key details to the rough transcript.
WASHINGTON — Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, told House impeachment investigators on Tuesday that the White House transcript of a July call between President Trump and Ukraine’s president omitted crucial words and phrases, and that his attempts to include them failed, according to three people familiar with the testimony.
The omissions, Colonel Vindman said, included Mr. Trump’s assertion that there were recordings of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. discussing Ukraine corruption, and an explicit mention by Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, of Burisma Holdings, the energy company whose board employed Mr. Biden’s son Hunter.

I salute Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman for his service and patriotism! Someone has to answer for this.
The Vindman testimony omitted some key issues:
1- The NSA can not release information which violates the President's Fourth Amendment
2- The NSA has no authority to investigate Americans
Since Vindman has not been thoroughly cross examined :
3- There is no evidence showing that Vindman is not biased against the president
4- There is no evidence showing that Vindman is not conflicted by interest
5- there is no evidence showing that Vindman is not retaliating against the President because he withdrew troops from Syria and refused to attack Iran
6- There is no evidence showing that Vindman is not retaliating against the President because he fired criminal scumbag and former director of the NSA John Bolton.

Well, we already know that Trump is biased - he's a Russian asset.
