Is she consoling this treasonous doosh or is she counseling the next wanna be assassin?

Typical officer to whine that he lost his career. He is at 20 years and a LTC, then his career was going nowhere anyway. By 20 he should be looking for eagles or get passed over and canned.

[Patriotism is “love of the Fatherland”.
Vindman’s Fatherland is Ukraine. That’s where his patriotism lies.]


But that’s the thing. Trump is harder on Russia than Obama ever was. He’s pulled out of arms treaties Russia was flouting. He’s killed hundreds of Russian mercs. He’s providing weaponry to Ukraine where Obama balked. Vindman’s Fatherland isn’t Ukraine - it’s the Democratic party.

Only in a liberal judge and run court. He has no guarantees to eagle wings or future service. He is subject to getting kicked out anytime he gets passed over for promotions, from Captain on up. A 20-year LTC should have been looking at full bird colonel wings by now or looking at getting bounced out for being passed over twice for promotion.

True, but we do not need Ukrainian patriots in OUR government.

Ouch. I would LOVE to see President Dr. Trump tweet that.

That disloyal, lying sack of sh*t ... I’d have told Mnuchin to terminate his pay.

He has zero personal awareness. If he ever saw himself on tv, he’d puke... then again, maybe not.

The last I knew, the promotion from Lt. Colonel to full Bird Colonel was the biggest step in the military. Only about 10% made it, and virtually none of those was a sniveling fool like Vindman. He had no chance.

“LTC Vindman’s patriotism has cost him his career.”

Vindman is no patriot, hopefully he'll end up where he belongs - in jail.

No other avenue for Vindman. Who could ever trust him after his public attempt to sabotage the President. Democrats will support him as long as he is useful but no one is ever going to depend on him again. He chose his path and failed. He no longer has value to either side.

A dishonorable discharge should be the minimum sanction against this awful human.

Vindman lawyer David Pressman (born 1977) was the United States Ambassador to the UN for Special Political Affairs. Nominated by President Obama, and confirmed by the Senate on September 17, 2014. Following the Obama administration Pressman joined the [ultra-liberal] law firm of Boies Schiller Flexner LLP. He works in various areas of mostly international and US Constitutional law. Pressman represented Vindman during impeachment proceedings against President Trump.Biography
Pressman received his B.A. from Brown University and his J.D. from NYU School of Law in 2004... He clerked for the Supreme Court of Rwanda - where he evaluated post-genocide transitional justice initiatives - and at Southern Poverty Law Center.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth has been f***ing with the promotions or pensions of many officers if Vindman wasn’t promoted.

So what’s her reaction now?
