Uh quid pro quo? Did they at least offer him an 0-6 position?
He needs to do a weigh in.
when it was brought up that Hill was concerned about him vindman went on to read a glowing report Hill made about him
Foreign nations offer US officers jobs all the time.
I knew one such, a Captain in a specialized field. They offered him the equivalent rank and pay of a US Colonel, plus command of his own battalion. It was a genuine offer from the “second family” of that country, wired in with their military.
Another one was an engineer Captain who was picked up for a lot of money after he left the army by the Saudis. He quit after six months from boredom because they couldn’t think of anything they wanted him to do.
He later almost went to work building a road in the Amazon, hired by Brazil, but then by sheer luck he met the guy he was replacing in a bar, and heard the horror stories of the job, so he turned it down.
The bottom line is that many other nations see US personnel as a talent pool, albeit a high priced one.
When I was at MIOBC and MICCC, there were two female officers who had a HELL OF A HARD TIME securing their TS/SCI. They were both daughters of American citizens who were born overseas. One was born at Stornowary, England, and the other, Rota, Spain. Their parents were in the Air Force.
Another officer was a naturalized us Citizen from Nigeria. Last I heard he never could get his TS-SCI needed to be MOSQ'd as 35 D and 35E.
None of them were allowed as liason to the DOE/NNSA where we had to have a CNWDI "Q" clearance.
Bet he kept a couple of jelly doughnuts in his foot locker.
Did her report it to "prove" his loyalty to our country.
Does he have any investments in Ukraine?
How many times or did he ever meet Porshenko?
Vindman has testified that he was offered the job, he refused and reported that offer to his superiors. In 1993, Retired U.S. Army Colonel Aleksander Einseln, an Estonian native was appoiinted as the Commanding General of the Estonian Armed Forces. The State Department objected to this and threatened that Einseln could lose his US citizenship and his Army retirement pay. After intervention by several US Senators, his appointment was approved and he became an Estonian General.

That seems to impeach Vindman’s testimony.
How so?
THAT’s What I believe, also! He’s a double agent.
Gop:
request equals demand in military culture
trump and ukraine guy not from military
good point
Sounds like a Ukrainian QUID PRO QUO to me....
this dude set this whole thing up by saying he is from military..wearing his dads wings, etc...
this military culture line of thinking is important.
Trump has never been military
dont know who this guy he is but good questioner
Hmm. I wonder which one it is.Does it have to be one or the other?
I'm going with #2.
Did they at least offer him an 0-6 position?
Or, at least, a “double-naught” position?
AG BARR’S SPEECH TO FEDERALIST SOCIETY ON 11/15/19
I’m skeptical until I hear the sound of handcuffs clicking around the wrists of the likes of OBAMA, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Rice, Jarrett, Powers, etc...you know their names. And I don’t share some of his ideas on gun control, but it is what it is and he’s WHO we’ve got!
If arrests & trials are NOT forthcoming, I’ll pull this video as we officially have a 2 tier justice system & the now UNTOUCHABLES may have folks like me arrested, jailed...and worse.
