The public on Tuesday will get its first look at Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman in action.
And if he follows his closed-door testimony, he will knock his commander in chief while retelling his version of potentially damning conversations with a Trump ambassador.
“I’m the director for Ukraine,” Col. Vindman told the joint House impeachment panel on Oct. 29. “I’m responsible for Ukraine. I’m the most knowledgeable. I’m the authority for Ukraine for the National Security Council and the White House.”
“I’m certainly not the president of the United States,” he said at another point, when asked by a Republican whether he intervened to discourage Ukrainian officials from cooperating in a corruption investigation requested by President Trump...

Col. Vindman, his uniform brimming with medals as he entered the House committee’s special compartmental information facility, has won favorable coverage in The New York Times and other liberal media, as well as praise from Democrats wanting to impeach Mr. Trump.
When House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot L. Engel, New York Democrat, questioned the officer, he started by saying, “Have you received commendations and awards for your prior service?”
Col. Vindman, 44, then took the committee on a tour of his ribbons,...

Col. Vindman, while touting himself as the supreme Ukraine authority, could not remember the name of Kyiv’s charge d’affaires, who is serving as the highest-ranking diplomat in Washington.
“I know the guy. I met with him a few times. His last name escapes me at the moment,” he said.
Col. Vindman also erroneously credited President Barack Obama with sending the first lethal battlefield aid to Ukraine in the form of advanced Army Javelin anti-armor weapons.
In a hallmark decision, it was Mr. Trump who approved the transfer, which took place in March 2018.

Hopefully some of the GOP interrogators will get him to stumble and fall......
He thinks he makes policy?
Jordan should make short work of this pretender, if allowed.
Impeach Vindman then.
Leavenworth has an opening for fhis kind of authority.
Just another Peter Principle guy who should really be working at some DMV counter somewhere.
Vindman was born in Ukraine, his first loyalty is to that country, not ours.
Illustrating why the natural born citizen clause is so vitally important.
The founders insisted on natural born citizen to preclude any foreign allegiance.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is NOT naturally an American.
The children of foreign nationals are PRECISELY who the founders were excluding.
The Kenyan from Indonesia should be proof enough to anyone with a brain that they were 100% correct.
One of the local radio guys pulled a Freudian slip and referred to this dude as “Venkman”. Maybe not so Freudian...
Why is this treasonous fat jackass still on the NFC? It’s been proven that he is a domestic spy with the president as his Target oh, and that he works for the benefit of Ukraine.
Fire his ass! He also disgraced his uniform, is Insignia should be ripped off, his sword broken over a knee and he should be driven out the gate in disgrace.
Unreal that he’s still there. Fire his brother too
“”””Col. Vindman, his uniform brimming with medals as he entered the House committee’s special compartmental information facility,”””””””””””
I don’t call it a uniform. I call it a costume he wore to the clown show audition.
You insult Col. Clink.

Yeah, he’s a real Audie Murphy. What an azzwipe. You can barely get a real veteran to even talk about things. You can’t shut him up. I bet his heroics are inflated. But even if they aren’t, that was one good day a decade ago, has nothing to do with his treason today. He’s a spy for a foreign country, also working on behalf of the CIA oh, and the president is his Target. He needs a blindfold and a cigarette
I could schiff that.
“I am the wet nurse of all Ukraine. Ukraine suckles at my breast. I alone nourish, protect and defend Ukraine.” So sayeth Vinne the Wet Nurse. Let it be entered into the record not as fact but as Truth.
Reading his testimony and he mentions twice that he is 9 minutes older than his twin. He references him many times and mostly as my little brother. Very weird.
Court Marshall
I know a few retired Colonels. Most of them are modest men who moved on from their military career and are just good guys, teaching in colleges, serving in their communities.
There is that one who believes he still commands a regiment, or maybe a brigade.
There must be something wrong with my copy of the Constitution. Maybe it’s missing some pages. Because I looked it up. I cannot find any mention of how a junior government official gets to be in charge of relations with a foreign country.
