Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman: Account of Trump’s Ukraine Call Omitted Key Details

[Jitss617]

My question to moron republicans is why did they try to hide the transcript?? We know the answer but repub punks can't admit it

Hide? It’s released you need a link?

Yes, not the edited White House Memorandum, the transcript.

Huh

No transcript of the phone conversation has been released. The White House released an edited "Memorandum" which has all Trump's brainwashed suckers believing and claiming he released the transcript when he didn't.

It was a transcript of the conversation with all that listen to it.. the Ukraine president said it was correct

 

[JGalt]

Lt. Col. Vindman says the transcript is inaccurate. Americans have a right to see and hear the full and accurate transcript of Trump's call to Zelensky.

Stop lying. The Col.'s opening statement tells it all:

"On July 25, 2019, the call occurred. I listened in on the call in the Situation Room with colleagues from the NSC and the office of the Vice President. As the transcript is in the public record, we are all aware of what was said."

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.

Alex will. After 2020 election I figure there will be a reckoning.

Sounds like a threat against a member of our military.

 

[S.J.]

Cherry picking witnesses, bring out the Trump haters and all the plants in his administration to engage in innuendo and false allegations and omit all the others.

Ukraine is a key ally, and Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman knows how important Ukraine is to our national security against Russian aggression. Ukraine is on the front line of Russian aggression.

Why did the White House omit key words and phrases from the transcript?

These kinds of posts have a tendency to report themselves....key words and phrases and all......especially when such words as "physical threats" and "death threats" are used in posts.

 

[mamooth]

So stating facts about him and quoting his own testimony is “smearing a vet”.

No, telling lies is smearing the vet.

Why did you lie about having a transcript?

The whole point is that what the Trump admin provided wasn't a transcript. It was their altered version of the conversation.

Here's a thought. The Trump admin could just release the full recording. Oh wait, they can't. That would show they lied.

donnie's orange cultists can't understand why someone who speaks Ukrainian and knows Ukraine would be picked as an expert on Ukraine on the Security Council. Why wasn't Sarah Palin picked?

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

The Army officer doesn’t get to override the President’s policy because it hurts his feelings and isn’t good for the Ukraine.

Nor did he, nor has he imagined he could. We are hearing from him because he was asked about it. By the way, he has more cred in his little toe than the fat child president has in his entire blobbage.

No, but he did try to undermine the President, simply because he disagreed with his decision. He should be fired.
He lost all credibility when he testified his main concern was for his home country, Ukraine.

He performed the job he was there to perform.

That he did. In their desperation to take Trump down, the Democrats trotted out yet another low-level .gov. rube to make a fool of himself. A trained seal could have done a better job.

Given the massive amount of damning evidence against Trump, I believe a trained seal could convince sane people of Trump's lawlessness. Of course the crazies will never accept that that obese orange fool is scum.

Is Trump lawlessness more than let say Bush invasion of Iraq or Obama usage of drones on nations we are not at war with or Clinton bombing of Iraq on the Eve of his Impeachment?

I do understand why he was picked and he is correct to question the way he did...

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

“That facts are the facts”. Except when they destroy the left’s fake news narratives.

Facts like Vindman is a Ukrainian immigrant.

Which destroys no "narrative". His testimony reinforced the narrative.

 

[Bruce_T_Laney]

1. Cheney is correct we need to stop bashing our military officers!

2. It is fine to disagree with our President and those that disagree are fucking nuts!!

Point out the physical threat or go back to packing plywood.

Yes. I believe Bush truly thought the invasion was the right thing to do for the country, but he knew his gut feeling wasn't enough to make that case, so he lied. Kinda like an end justifies the means attitude. Despicable behavior, no doubt, but I'm not sure he was doing it specifically for his personal benefit with total disregard for how it effected the country. Trump's actions are always specifically for his benefit and it doesn't matter how it effects the country.
There was reason for Clinton's bombing of Iraq. The attack failed in it's goal, and you might accuse him of poor judgment in that case, but it was and is still despicable to claim it was done as a distraction from impeachment hearings.
There is no way to argue that Trump withholding congressionally approved military aid to extort dirt on Biden out of Ukraine was for the good of out country. It was for his personal benefit, and nothing else. Trump hasn't realized that the presidency is a responsibility, and not a personal asset that he can use for his own personal benefit.
