[M. Thatcher]

Interesting recounting of his interactions with the weasely Vindman.

Vindman told Sen. Johnson that it's "the position of the NSC that our relationship with Ukraine should be kept separate from our geopolitical competition with Russia."

Johnson basically said, Wait what? How is that even possible?

Johnson saw the pattern of these interagency types believing their own consensus was the only thing that mattered, that they were the ones setting policy, not the President.

It appears again, obvious, that the State Dept and the “17 Intelligence agencies” within the Deep State in fact do set foreign policy and actions.

Presidents come and go but the real government is forever

Johnson thoroughly backs up EVERYTHING Trump has said. The only quid pro quo came from that putz, Murphy, directed to Zelensky. “He warned Zelensky not to respond to requests from American political actors or he would risk losing Ukraine’s bipartisan support”. In other words, tell Rudi to F off or no aid.
