Trump swipes at White House official ahead of Ukraine testimony
Fox News ^ | October 29 2019 | Ronn Blitzer

Posted on 10/29/2019 6:41:41 AM PDT by knighthawk

President Trump took a swipe Tuesday at a White House official who plans to testify behind closed doors that he reported concerns about the July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the heart of Democrats' impeachment inquiry.

Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who serves as a director on the National Security Council (NSC), is scheduled to testify before the House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs committees Tuesday morning. His prepared opening statement, obtained by Fox News, expresses concern over Trump's request to have Ukraine investigate political opponents, but Trump dismissed him as one of a collection of witnesses he does not even know.

"Why are people that I never even heard of testifying about the call," Trump tweeted. "Just READ THE CALL TRANSCRIPT AND THE IMPEACHMENT HOAX IS OVER!"

Funny (not ha ha funny) how we know what the guy is going to say before he says anything

It’s obvious that Schitt is writing the script, leaking it, and finding actors to read the lines

How is he able to testify without white house permission? I thought executive privilege was invoked?

Traitor and spy

The Left just can’t seem to grasp the fact that the transcript of this phone call is RELEASED! All these whistle blowers are irrelevant!

Nancy does not have the votes or I think even a quorum to vote. You need what 218 in the House to vote on anything? Those purple district members can run but they can't hide. They will have to vote, soon. Then they can be assured a quick ride back to the private sector and the Pubbies taking back the House. We react around here on FR, not act. We cower in fear and frustration that the MSM won't listen to us. Same crap I heard in 2016.

They can call 100 witnesses and give their interpretation of the call, including apparatchiks like this one, and it won't matter. Trump is once again playing them, Nancy Pelosi is a certified idiot who has not thought this thing through. Like most liberals, educated beyond their ability to think.

Looks like George Webb has connected some dots re Vindman:

The transcript is the transcript... What somebody overheard, or what their ‘concerns’ were is irrelevant and complete BS.

The deep-state is in a tail spin the liberal media is desperate to display Republican division... Grasping at any straws they can find... And Romney and other anti-Trump Republicans will pay for their disloyalty.

Are you thinking that Vindman may be a Russian agent?

Sorry, but I hear Vindman and all I can think of is to laugh on recalling Bill Murray’s Vinkman in Ghostbusters.

Webb is suggesting that Vindman( or his twin or both of them) were diverting NATO Weapons to nefarious entities.

I will wait for him re review more of the megadata he has and comment further.

Per Webb, he is suggesting Vindman was “recruited “ by Fiona Hill who he says runs a spy ring. He is doing a deep dive into their relationship to Bill Taylor and Taylor’s wife.

See his videos for more information.

thank you
I did find out Vindaman is from the Ukraine and was hired by the Ukrainian government for advice on how to deal with Guiliani.
That seems not right for someone IN the Administration

So Lt. colonel Terry Lakin went to Leavenworth for simply asking a question about the commander in Chief’s legitimacy yet this Lt,
Colonel gets to testify about his opinion of the Commander in Chief and he expects no kickback

Lakin was railroaded but this guy seems to be going way beyond his authority.

Full disclosure- I’m friends with one of Lakin’s Advisors. My daughter transcribed his diaries for publication.

A lowly lieutenant colonel at the White House gets the coffee and takes out the trash.
