Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn doubled down on accusation she lobbed against Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman Thursday, alleging he's the whistleblower’s handler who leaked the July 25 call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky—despite his attorney accusing her of “slander” and “defamatory tweets.”

“Adam Schiff is hailing Alexander Vindman as an American patriot. How patriotic is it to badmouth and ridicule our great nation in front of Russia, America’s greatest enemy?” her Twitter account posted in response.

“Alexander Vindman broke the chain of command and leaked the contents of the President’s July 25th phone call to his pal, the “whistleblower.” Over a policy dispute with the President!” she followed up. “How is that not vindictive?”

She then provided three similarities between Vindman and the “whistleblower”: they both worked under President Obama, had an interest in taking out President Trump, and held the same position within the National Security Council.

Since moving to TN ten years ago, I’ve greatly admired the tough, no-BS women here. Quite a change from the vapid gals we left behind us in SoCal.

Active duty officers don't have full 1A rights, especially in uniform, but I'm sure you knew that, right? It's not acceptable for a US officer to denigrate Americans in front of Russian Soldiers, & it's against UCMJ to badmouth/plot against the CINC. 🇺🇸https://t.co/MwucR3IAic— LTC (R) Jim Hickman (@Jim_Hickman13) January 24, 2020

...and yet he is running around free. There is no one in the entire military chain of command that has the authority to prosecute this son of a btich? WYF?

“Adam Schiff is hailing Alexander Vindman as an American patriot.”

He likes Oswald and McVeigh, too.

First in with not all active/reserve military or veterans are not honorable during or after service.

Short list: Major Hasan Ft. Hood massacre; Sgt. Berghahl; Sgt. Bradley Manning; Lt. John Kerry;. Please add others.

Or a “Look At Me! Look At ME!” ploy. Sorry soyboy. No go.

I’ve always liked her. She’s super cute too (and I’m a woman, lol).

You have to read all the tweets in both threads!

Jim was Vindman’s commanding officer and reprimanded him for bad behavior.

WHO is Bob Corker?

Oh. That’s right. He’s the thoroughly forgettable RINO who was a Senator from Tennessee. He best die quickly if he wants to attract a crowd to his funeral. In 2 years no one will even know or remember his name.

That was funny... I was going to say something about "impersonating an officer" and his Army Surplus store, but PX works good. Wonder if Vindman could hang with Biden in push-ups... And by looking at him, what his "alternative event" is to the run, and sit-ups? The guy is made up, and looks like an NSC emoji ---> 👮 <---

I read them a while ago, very interesting stuff.
