NSC Official Alex Vindman Testifies in Full Military Uniform [tr]
Breitbart ^ | 29 October 2019 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 10/29/2019 9:53:23 AM PDT by Magnatron

National Security Council (NSC) official Alexander Vindman showed up to testify Tuesday as part of the Democrats’ closed-door impeachment inquiry into President Trump in full military uniform.

This is despite not wearing one to work every day at the NSC, according to several sources.

Although Vindman is a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, he is serving an assignment at the NSC as the director for European Affairs. According to sources at the NSC, Vindman does not wear his uniform to work at the NSC, where the standard dress is business wear.

One source said he donned the uniform “for show.” The source pointed out that Vindman was ironically wearing a presidential service badge on his uniform — as he testifies on how he went with his twin brother, a lawyer at the NSC, with concerns about Trump’s handling of Ukraine foreign policy and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, investigating Joe Biden and his son for corruption.

Vindman’s opening statement leaked to the New York Times the night before his testimony showed he was concerned that Ukraine helping investigate Biden would jeopardize bipartisan support for Ukraine.

According to the Times, Vindman, who was born in Ukraine and is fluent in Ukrainian and Russia, may have served as an informal adviser to Ukrainian officials looking for advice on how to deal with Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

It would be a good bet that Vindman was one of the sources for the “whistleblower’s” claims. I hope the Reps get to ask him who else he talked to about the Trump call to the Ukrainian president.

Excellent questions. Hopefully we will get answers.

What was he doing in Ukraine?
Who assigned him to work from there?
Who does he report to?

Yes, the uniform is very impressive. Like this guy.

I wonder if this guy is connected to Pencilneck's Ukrainian arms dealer?

I've written about the Treaty several times and even posted it.

I have yet to see either side make note of it.

It may be one of our Aces.

Time for a court marshall.

Often there are reasons not to wear your military uniform.

He could be violating command orders to not wear his uniform.

If he was told/ordered not to wear his uniform, he should be court martial-ed for this bs.

He needs to be tried. UCMJ has a couple articles that would work.

seems to me with pelosi now calling on a (fake) vote on impeachment investigation that that is an admission that the present inquiry was not authorized and is illegal. I suspect any subpoenas issued were fraudulent and in violation of law. IMO issued illegally under color of law (violation of civil rights) fraudulent documents conspiracy to defraud the US 18 usc 371

as they say, ignorance of the law is no excuse and the info can be easily found in wikipedia that to issue subpoenas the House must authorize the inquiry

Maybe he is doing this in imitation of John Kerry testifying before Congress wearing his uniform (improperly) during the Vietnam War.

So what was his clearance level?

Wouldn't he be limited to just a secret clearance due to: being of a Foreign Born National re any Top Secret/SCI.

The KGB was succeeded by the Federal Counterintelligence Service (FSK) of Russia, which was succeeded by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB).

If I have to testify I think I am going to wear a Canadian Mountie uniform. Those things are uber-cool!
