Sounds like Vinman runs down the hall or emails a superior with a “Concern” each time he hears something that comes from POTUS, based on his early testimony. This happened more than once.

Perfect question to get him off his rehearsed game (should be easy, he’s not that bright)... “when given an order while serving in Iraq, did you waddle off to a superior to voice concern with their order?”

As I understand it, President Vindman stated that Trump’s position was questionable because:

1. If Ukraine investigated Biden, the Democrats would get mad.

2. Democrats mad would not give aid to Ukraine.

3. That would help Russia.

Well Mr. President Vindman, how much aid did your Democrats give Ukraine before Trump?

How much? Some blankets and some MREs?

I bet Putin was quaking in his boots over that!

Retired Air Force here:

The Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 88 - Contempt Toward Public Officials states:

“Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”

Well, you don’t want to see him naked.

So the President is supposed to follow talking points? That is crazy.

He’s wearing his uniform because the Dems. told him to do it as they believe it adds to the Optics of their TV Melodrama. Prior to his testimony I heard the commentators on Fox refer to his Purple Heart at least 10 times. He didn’t get the Purple Heart for Bravery, he got it because the bad guys managed to wound him. I wonder how many of the Enemy were wounded by him?

I followed it closely. The kenyan sent a few old Humvees with flat tires. While at the same time sending 250 or so more usable MRAP to Croatia of all places. Then there were the anti-mortar radars the Army reduced the range on so that the Ukrainians couldn’t use them to effectively. All that while the invasion was hot.

Eye candy for the 6 o’clock news and proof that he’s in violation of (at minimum) Articles 133, 134, 135, and 136 of the UCMJ.

When this settles, I expect him to be court-martialed.

I hoping someone in the audience makes a farting sound when Swalwell is questioning.

That is true. Col. North looked like he was straight out of central casting, though.

Someone should just have a bottle of Gas-X to set out in front of them when it’s his turn.

Officers swear to the Constitution, not the President

You are correct, and in the Constitution, the President, as the only person elected by the entire people of the United States, is assigned the task of setting foreign policy.

Here’s another:

Article 134- False Swearing

Paragraph 79 of the Manual for Court Martial concerns the offense of false swearing. It is one of many offenses under Article 134, which is a general article. The text of Article 134 says that all neglects and disorders which are adverse to the discipline and good order of the armed forces and all conducts which bring discredit to the armed forces, will be punished by a court martial.

The elements of this offense
•The defendant has taken an oath or its equivalent.
•The oath or its equivalent was given to the defendant in relation to a matter where such an oath or its equivalent is authorized or required by law.
•The oath or its equivalent was administered to the defendant by an individual who had the authority to do so.
•The defendant took the oath or its equivalent and later subscribed or made a given statement.
•The statement made by the defendant was false.
•The accused did not believe that the oath he was making was true.
•Under the circumstances, the defendant’s conduct was against the discipline and good order expected from armed forces personnel or the nature of the act brought discredit to the armed forces.
