Trump impeachment witness Alexander Vindman accused of trying to profit off Ukraine war with defense contracts

Retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who made waves as a witness during the first impeachment proceedings of former President Donald Trump, is now being accused of trying to profit off the war in Ukraine by pitching lucrative defense contracts through his private company.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who was one of the sharpest critics of Vindman throughout the impeachment investigation, blasted him as an "opportunist," and accused him of undertaking continuous efforts to try and personally profit from his attacks against the Trump administration to his reported dealings in Ukraine.

The first impeachment of Trump centered around a July 2019 call in which Trump pressed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to launch investigations into the Biden family’s actions and business dealings in Ukraine—specifically Hunter Biden’s ventures with Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings. The president’s request came after millions in U.S. military aid to Ukraine had been frozen, which Democrats and some witnesses, including Vindman, cited as a quid pro quo arrangement.

"When conservatives speak the truth, the mainstream media panics and desperately attempts to provide cover for the left. They did this for Alexander Vindman, just like they did for Hunter Biden, Dr. Fauci and teachers unions," Blackburn said, referencing liberal media outlets' staunch defense of Vindman throughout his time as a witness during the impeachment investigation.

"Alexander Vindman has always been a political activist and opportunist masquerading behind his career. He saw an opening for personal fame and profited by exploiting the media’s outrage against President Trump," she accused.

"Vindman has spent the last three years on MSNBC and CNN attacking Republicans. Now, new revelations suggest Vindman could be profiting off the war in Ukraine, just as he did by speaking out against the Trump administration," Blackburn added.

"Ooh, Blackburn. She’s an idiot, an agent of chaos promoting disinformation. She has never said one true thing about me. Her attacks in 2019/20 contributed to an environment that made it impossible for me to continue my nonpartisan military service," Vindman said.

Sounds to me like Marsha nailed it. What a leftist douche.

He should have been hung by the neck until dead for treason at least 3-4- years ago.

Open up the Webster's Dictionary. Right there next to the definition of meathead is a picture of Vindman.

Funny-—and true.

If the Hindus are right he has a huge load of karmic debt to face whether in this life by karmically correct actions, or by descending in the animal kingdom in his next life.

Or maybe faces some ex bouncer who says “I got something you got comin’ to ya.”

Fox news lying again about the assets being “frozen” and trying to relate it a quid pro quo. There was a legit reason why they were temporarily frozen and it had nothing to do with Trump.

Flounder Vindman, the Army’s #1 PX Hero Warrior is at it again. He acts so Russian all the time. What commie pig.

Not massive, as these things go. Merely notorious because it was the mcguffin in episode lxviii of “Get Trump”.

The Democrats involved are petty grifters (Bidens, etc).

The big foreign money sneaking into US politics is Chinese, Russian, Saudi, etc. And the big money laundering centers are London, Cyprus, the Caribbean, etc.

But by far the biggest source of political and institutional corruption in the US is domestic. The “hub” is NYC.

Maybe he can be called back to active duty and court martialed. Ten or fifteen years at Leavenworth might teach him a bit of humility.
