Nunes referred to him as Colonel which is a higher rank than Lt. Col. So perhaps Vindman was just being modest?
Shiffty is so bizarre when he stares straight ahead even when he’s addressing the GOP to his left. What an arrogant bug-eyed POS.
This is not a court, not close. Trump does not have direct representation and is not allowed to confront his main accuser. Therefore, he is taking his case to the court of public opinion. God forbid ole Schiff-face were allowed the prerogatives you would give him.
Trump was not in the hearing room when he made his tweet. If Schiff had not read it to her, she would not have known about it during her testimony. ... still, probably unwise.

Page 5 is missing. So who signed this letter? I see they did get 2 they asked for—Volker and Morrison.
and he didn't even have “More Flexibility” then.....
Whoa!
I think you may have inadvertantly coined a new term:
"Headlies".
President Trump’s tweet was perfect. It proved why she was removed for being a lousy ambassador. He was defending himself.
We didn’t elect him to be a timid mouse. We didn’t want a jeb.
Pathetic.
Pathetic timid jeb.
Well then..it's a good thing this is a kangaroo court, where common sense and normal protocol does not apply....huh?
“Shiffty is so bizarre when he stares straight ahead even when he’s addressing the GOP to his left. What an arrogant bug-eyed POS”.
He’d scare a little kid.
He reminds me of a demonically possessed doll or puppet in a horror movie.
Amb. Yovanovitch had a good reputation among the various Rep. and Dem. presidents who assigned her. When she was a 20 something appointed to a low level position in Somalia, that country had already suffered a catastrophic and deadly drought which had started the serious decline that continued to get worse in the years after she was assigned elsewhere. Her job did not have influence. After Bush assigned her to Kyrgyzstan for 3 years, she was then assigned to Armenia for 3 more years. Read below and you will see why she had to go. President Trump was working with Turkey’s leader to abandon the Kurds and leave territory open for him and Russia to occupy. The Armenian horror story inflicted by Turkey was a very compelling reason to remove her so as not to irritate Erdogan. Ironic that Erdogan visited the week she testified. He must have been soooo pleased.
From WIKI: “Yovanovitch is “well known in diplomatic circles for her measured demeanor and diligence in representing both Republican and Democratic administrations.”[10] Yovanovitch was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan on November 20, 2004; she presented her credentials on February 4, 2005, and remained in this post until February 4, 2008.[1][11] Her nomination as ambassador to Kyrgyzstan was confirmed by the Senate on a voice vote.[12]”
“Yovanovitch was appointed U.S. Ambassador to Armenia on August 4, 2008; she presented her credentials on September 22, 2008, and remained in this post until June 9, 2011.[11] Her nomination as ambassador to Armenia was again confirmed by the Senate on a voice vote.[13] During confirmation hearings, Yovanovitch acknowledged that Turks had committed mass killings, rapes, and expulsions of Armenians between 1915 and 1923, calling this “one of the greatest tragedies of the 20th century,” but, in line with U.S. policy, declined to use the phrase Armenian Genocide, saying that the use of this politically sensitive phrase was a policy decision that could be made only by the highest-ranking U.S. officials, namely President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.[14]”
Q: Have you even met, or communicated in any way with Hunter Biden?
Q: Are you aware of AG Barr’s criminal investigation into the origins of the now debunked Russia “collusion” claim with the Trump campaign in the 2016 election?
Q: Are you familiar with a Ukrainian associated company named Crowd Strike?
She openly worked against our Country and President. Including enourging other people and countries to resist and fight cooperating with the Trump administration. Which is OUR COUNTRY. WE ARE TRUMP.
She is a world class swamp creature.

with no rebuttal or defense, they can find any number who do not like Pres Trump and are willing to lie to get him.. this today holds no value except to breed hate and overthrow the government.
God in heaven take smutz out of this circus he invented sorely to destroy for personal use.
Who was the babe with the British accent? What ‘’bombshell’’ was she supposed to have dropped?. Man they were using that one all over MSNBC and CNN. “Bombshell, bombshell!’’.
I too would like to know if any Ukranians died because of delay in release the aid approved by Congress. I was doing some research on the Kurd situation in northern Syria, and one article I found, in addition to saying that Russia was the big winner in our pull-out, also said that around 250 Kurdish fighters had been killed, and about 300,000 civilians had fled because of the Turkish/Russian incursion. Elsewhere is information that hundreds or perhaps more ISIS fighters have escaped as a result.
As a result of other research I think I now understand why President Trump was so eager to get rid of Amb. Yovanovitch. Turkey is very sensitive about criticism for their “Armenian Genocide” from 1915 to 1919. Yovanovitch had been Ambassador to Armenia from 2008 to 2011. While she avoided using the inflammatory Armenian Genocide description, she did say that a lot of very bad stuff had happened because of Turkish actions. So, if President Trump was going to make nice with Turkey and Russia, then Yovanovitch had to go. I don’t know if it was ironic or carefully planned to have Erdogan visiting the White House the same day as Yovanovitch was testifying. See article below.
