His PRIMARY response was “I was busy”.
His SECONDARY response was “my lawyer advised me not to”.
what i mean is i wonder what swartzkopf and this fella would think of vinman whining like he does?
“As an ex-USAF officer, I am disgusted with Vindman. He is a disgrace to his oath.”
He’s now eligible for the John Glenn Award for Cowardice in the Face of the Enemy.
And uniform.
“I can’t see twitter.”
A shame. Trump’s twitter feed is the only reliable source of National news.

I can see it at home. Just not here.
Yep.
Yep, no excuse at all.
I’m wondering if those talking points Vindman gave to Trump to use on the call were part of a set up. And everything went pear shaped when Trump refused to use them.
Vindman ought to be questioned about those talking points.
You are 100% CORRECT. Furthermore, he has disgraced all of us who took the OATH to “- - - support & defend the Constitution of the United states, -——”.
Obviously, whomever that he is talking to told him to NOT report his information up his designated Chain of Command.
IF I could, I would ask him WHY he felt it important to ask his lawyer how to do his sworn duty to the military service & to our Republic. = Telling the TRUTH is nearly always EASY.
It’s DECEIT that is HARD to accomplish in such a way that you may escape culpability for your unethical/unlawful behavior & immoral acts.
I would also ask Vindman WHY he feels that he has any responsibility to the President of Ukraine, rather than to the USA.
(As you KNOW a LTC is far from senior enough in rank to be legitimately a Policy-Maker. = Vindman, at least imo, has a very BLOATED sense of his place in the military hierarchy.)
Just my OPINION, TMN78247

For company reasons or international reasons? Company reasons I can understand for their own security. Sounds like you need a good smart phone data plan for times like this.
Will he be court-martialed? Can Trump bring him before a military court?
. Excellent observation.
I am not a crook
It was a really busy week.
Excerpt:
Retired Army Officer Remembers Lt. Col. Vindman as Partisan Democrat Who Ridiculed America
“A retired Army officer who worked with Democrat “star witness” Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman in Grafenwoher, Germany, claims Vindman “really talked up” President Barack Obama and ridiculed America and Americans in front of Russian military officers.
In an eye-opening thread on Twitter last week, retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Jim Hickman said that he “verbally reprimanded” Vindman after he heard some of his derisive remarks for himself. “Do not let the uniform fool you,” Hickman wrote. “He is a political activist in uniform.”
Hickman’s former boss at the Joint Multinational Simulation Center in Grafenwoehr has since gone on the record to corroborate his story.
Hickman, 52, says he’s a disabled wounded warrior who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and who received numerous medals, including the Purple Heart.
The retired officer said that Vindman, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Ukraine, made fun of the United States to the point that it made other soldiers “uncomfortable.” For example, Hickman told American Greatness that he heard Vindman call Americans “rednecks”—a word that needed to be translated for the Russians. He said they all had a big laugh at America’s expense.”
“He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, & really talked up Obama & globalism to the point of (sic) uncomfortable.
He would speak w/the Russian Soldiers & laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel. It was so uncomfortable & unprofessional, one of the GS [civil service]employees came & told me everything above. I walked over & sat w/in earshot of Vindman, & sure enough, all was confirmed.
One comment truly struck me as odd, & it was w/respect to American’s falsely thinking they’re exceptional, when he said, “He [Obama] is working on that now.” And he said it w/a snide ‘I know a secret’ look on his face. I honestly don’t know what it meant, it just sounded like an odd thing to say.
Regardless, after hearing him bash America a few times in front of subordinates, Russians, & GS Employees, as well as, hearing an earful about globalization, Obama’s plan, etc., I’d had enough. I tapped him on the shoulder & asked him to step outside. At that point I verbally reprimanded him for his actions, & I’ll leave it at that, so as not to be unprofessional myself.
The bottom-line is LTC Vindman was a partisan Democrat at least as far back as [2013]. So much so, junior officers & soldiers felt uncomfortable around him. This is not your professional, field-grade officer, who has the character & integrity to do the right thing. Do not let the uniform fool you…he is a political activist in uniform. I pray our nation will drop this hate, vitriol & division, & unite as our founding fathers intended!”
No really, the dog ate my homework!!
Cool. Thanks for clarification.
And if those talking points were a set-up...since Trump didn’t use them does this mean Trump suspected Vindman?
Oh, wouldn’t that be interesting.
I’d really like to see a copy of those talking piints
