I honor and applaud Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s service to his country. He’s a hero. I also respect his decision to testify at the impeachment proceedings. I suspect neither his service nor his testimony was easy.
But I also know the liberties that Lt. Col. Vindman fought on the battlefield to preserve permit for a free and honest debate in America, one that can’t be muted by the color of uniform or the crushing power of the state.
So I want to exercise my right to debate Lt. Col. Vindman about the testimony he gave about me. You see, under oath to Congress, he asserted all the factual elements in my columns at The Hill about Ukraine were false, except maybe my grammar
Here are his exact words:
“I think all the key elements were false,” Vindman testified.
Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y, pressed him about what he meant. “Just so I understand what you mean when you say key elements, are you referring to everything John Solomon stated or just some of it?”
“All the elements that I just laid out for you. The criticisms of corruption were false…. Were there more items in there, frankly, congressman? I don’t recall. I haven’t looked at the article in quite some time, but you know, his grammar might have been right.”
Such testimony has been injurious to my reputation, one earned during 30 years of impactful reporting for news organizations that included The Associated Press, The Washington Post, The Washington Times and The Daily Beast/Newsweek.
And so Lt. Col. Vindman, here are the 28 primary factual elements in my Ukraine columns, complete with attribution and links to sourcing. Please tell me which, if any, was factually wrong.

I read this earlier today.
Worth the time as there’s a lot of facts in there
John needs to get all that posted somewhere much bigger, so that more people will read it.
He should file a lawsuit against that smarmy know it all
There are about 18 million veterans alive right now so how is it that certain ones are more important that others?...Just on their veteran status,service record and political belief? Disgusting! Put all of us 18 million in a room and let us see the result. Tired of this stuff.
He cannot be sued for his testimony unless he repeats it outside the hearing.
I like Solomon but I don’t have to thank Kernel Numbnut for his “service”.
And his grammar was impeccable.
LTC Pillsbury Doughboy is more into selfservice.
bkmk
Oh, the Huge NSC Manatee!
When will Vindman be charged under the espionage act for leaking his knowledge of the July 25th telephone call to the whistleblower?
...constitutes LYING TO CONGRESS!!
The L/C can be prosecuted for LYING TO CONGRESS!!!
don’t give up, John Solomon. time will vindicate your reporting.
I just read it . Very good, very thorough. Heavily referenced and footnoted. Meticulous research. Insightful analysis...that’s John Solomon all the way.
This nasty treasonous freak Vindman needs some kind of comeuppance.
(Just what...I leave to your imagination.)
