WASHINGTON -- A U.S. official says the Army and local law enforcement are providing security for the officer who is testifying Tuesday during the House impeachment hearing.

The official said the Army is prepared to take additional steps if needed, which could include moving Vindman and his family to a more secure location on a base.

During his testimony, Vindman told lawmakers that he was offered the post of Ukraine’s defense minister three times but rejected the suggestion.

"I immediately dismissed these offers," said, adding that two American officials witnessed the exchange with a top adviser to Zelenskiy, and that he notified his chain of command and counterintelligence officials about the offer upon returning to the U.S.

I think he’d be safest in a cell in Leavenworth.
Put Vindman in Leavenworth for at least 20 years.
The LEFT will DESTROY him if he doesn’t bring down TRUMP!!
Protecting someone bearing false witness.
They act like he’s testifying against the clintoons or something.
Oh please
the ole Epstein treatment aka Arkancide..

From what I have heard of his Testimont, he should be Court Martialed, Stripped of all ranks, declared an “Enemy Combatant” and sent to Guantanamo Bay so the ARMY can watch him the rest of his LIFE!!
Are they providing security for his twin brother, so he doesn’t get shot in a case of mistaken identity? If our Vindman takes off his medals, how could anyone tell them apart?
So who is going to provide security FROM the army?
They wanted him to be Defense Minister?
To do what?
Lead the Soldiers in prayer?
But it’s Vindman, couldn’t he just do a spin kick and grab their guns as he mowed them all down?

I know LTC Alex Vindman from a Combined US-Russian exercise called Atlas Vision 12 in Grafenwoher, GE.
He worked w/the Russian Embassy & I was assigned to the JMTC (Joint Multinational Training Command), w/in USAREUR (US Army Europe). He worked coordination w/the Russian 15th Peacekeeping Brigade, & I was in charge of all Simulations planning, as well as assisting the USAREUR Lead Planner as the Senior Military Planner.
The following account of LTC Vindman’s words & actions are completely accurate to the best of my recollection & have been corroborated by others.
We interacted on several different occasions throughout the planning cycle, but it was during the actual execution of the exercise, that we had an issue relevant to his recent testimony.
As stated earlier, Atlas Vision 12 was conducted at JMTC in the VBS2 (Virtual Battle Simulations 2) Classrooms for Simulation. Vindman, who was a Major at the time, was sitting in one of the classrooms talking to the US & Russian Soldiers, as well as the young Officers & GS Employees about America, Russia, & Obama.
He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, & really talked up Obama & globalism to the point of uncomfortable.
He would speak w/the Russian Soldiers & laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel. It was so uncomfortable & unprofessional, one of the GS employees came & told me everything above. I walked over & sat w/in earshot of Vindman, & sure enough, all was confirmed.
One comment truly struck me as odd, & it was w/respect to American’s falsely thinking they’re exceptional, when he said, “He [Obama] is working on that now.” And he said it w/a snide ‘I know a secret’ look on his face. I honestly don’t know what it meant, it just sounded like an odd thing to say.
Regardless, after hearing him bash America a few times in front of subordinates, Russians, & GS Employees, as well as, hearing an earful about globalization, Obama’s plan, etc…I’d had enough. I tapped him on the shoulder & asked him to step outside.
At that point I verbally reprimanded him for his actions, & I’ll leave it at that, so as not to be unprofessional myself. The bottom-line is LTC Vindman was a partisan Democrat at least as far back as 2012. So much so, junior officers & soldiers felt uncomfortable around him.
This is not your professional, field-grade officer, who has the character & integrity to do the right thing. Do not let the uniform fool you…he is a political activist in uniform. I pray our nation will drop this hate, vitriol & division, & unite as our founding fathers intended
I need to make a slight correction on my statement, it was actually Atlas Vision 13 when the incident occurred. I was thrown off, as the next year Russia invaded Crimea. Also, I was promoted to Chief, Regional, Joint & Combined Exercises Branch, USAREUR, over many exercises.

Wouldn’t it be great if Vindman were secretly under arrest.
Maybe that’s why the “escorts” are with him.
I can dream, too.
Just put him in the brig and be done with it.
What does he need security for? I thought he was a bad ass killer.
Listening to Vindman it seems he has a screw loose. He coulda been Defense Minister of Ukraine???
Pretty sure this is made up propaganda from the Democrat Facist Lie machine.
