Alexander Vindman, key impeachment inquiry witness, says nation's values are threatened under Trump
See B.S. snooze ^ | August 1, 2020 | Grace Segers

Posted on 08/01/2020 8:20:44 PM PDT by John S Mosby

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who was fired from his post at the White House after he testified in the impeachment inquiry against President Trump, wrote in an OP-ED Saturday: "At no point in my career or life have I felt our nation's values under greater threat and in more peril than at this moment."

Vindman announced his retirement from the military last month, citing a "campaign of bullying, intimidation, and retaliation" led by the president.

In an ESSAY (!) for The Washington Post, Vindman compared the current government to that of the Soviet Union. Vindman and his family emigrated from Ukraine when he was a young boy.

"Our national government during the past few years has been more reminiscent of the authoritarian regime my family fled more than 40 years ago than the country I have devoted my life to serving," he wrote.

"Our citizens are being subjected to the same kinds of attacks tyrants launch against their critics and political opponents. Those who choose loyalty to American values and allegiance to the Constitution over devotion to a mendacious president and his enablers are punished," Vindman continued.

He also said Mr. Trump "recklessly downplayed" the threat of the coronavirus pandemic.

An OP-ED or was it an ESSAY---which was it "That's Lt. Col."...Vindman? You were FIRED for LEAKING National Security Council CLASSIFIED contents of President Trump speaking to the new President of the Ukraine. Subsequently falsely concocted transcription read in public hearing by Cong. Adam Shifty Schiff.

The country of Ukraine (under the incredibly corrupt pal of YOUR FORMER BOSS-- Joe Biden- Pres. Poroshenko ), you stated UNDER OATH offered you the position of Minister of Defense! You were offered this position (and did not report it, as required under USC. 18) WHILE STILL AN OFFICER in the U.S. Army!

You are leaving the Army, because you 1.) whiner that you are, and despite Tammy Duckworth's idiotic threats---you weren't made full Col.largely because of these and prior similar actions of ignorning chain of command, and in self promotion.... AND- 2.) BECAUSE, were you to proceed to the National War College you would have been made a National Laughingstock example with public exposure in the War College (a prestigious organization for which you would be far below standards) by your failure to adhere to Chain of Command and Command Structure on several prior occasions-- all documented in your DD-214!

OK "Lootnent"? Your actions demonstrate double life as political operative for the democrat party and a self-serving pocket lining Ukrainian intermediary with highly corrupt Ukrainian contacts, including former Pres. Poroshenko (now on the run, and Biden's pal who fired the prosecutor looking into Hunter Biden and YOUR fraud!). All while a serving US Army soldier (violating your Oath, and our Constitution).

You want to talk about about "MENDACIOUS"... YOUR mendacity is appalling. Tone deaf little manipulating liar. You ran, under the direction of the coordinating former members of Bidens WH NSC staff (working for Adam Schiff) to your pal Eric Ciaramella, currently at last look a CIA employee (no longer at the NSC, and who also was working with and close to JOE BIDEN--- NOTE TO THE GOPe morons-- this a@@clown is a Biden stooge with his pal in the see eye ehhhhh-- and BOTH OF THEM involved deeply with the Burisma payoff of HUNTER BIDEN).

The Hunter Biden payoff was made possible through the intervention of the former Ambassador to Ukraine (Ms.Voyanovych- a Russian born Canadian national, naturalized and somehow rises to Ambassador--- under obamaumao and .... BIDEN!) Ms. V was the controlling authority in the distribution of USAID funds to US NGOs- non-governmental operatives-- who then kicked a percentage of the money back to the DNC, oh, and Hunter got a stipend over and above the NGO US taxpayer paid money to Burisma.

So now, pasty little "purple heart" "combat" veteran whiner-- you write an "ESSAY" for the Jeff Bezos (see eye ehhh subsidized purchase of WAPO for Amazon 600MM dollar contract to handle "cloud" for the same oxymoron agency). Oh yeah--- you are a real patriot. The kind most real Patriots would be wiping off the bottom of their shoe.... real "patriotic" swam shite. Alexander Vindman and his twin...and let's not forget the older brother in "middle east investments" (read: leftist mossad).

And one more thing--- you did not "immigrate to the US" as a young boy. Your father and your grandmother immigrated (not your mother...hmmm?) for several years.... years to Italy. In the 60's, and from there under Jimmah Cahtah you made it to Little Odessa in Brooklyn. Don't preach to real Patriots about "rejecting hate and bigotry" while trying to cover your greasy tracks of self aggrandizement and opportunism that sold out your Country. Try and sell THAT at Johns Hopkins.

Why he isn’t in jail is beyond me.
He tried to plant that bogus fantasy transcript into the official record and then had the nerve to bitch about how the security prevented it.
He tried to plant fraudulent materials into the official record..possession of a forged instrument...and admitted to it.
He should be in prison, anyone else and they would be!

I imagine that his last officer efficiency rating was merely satisfactory. That means he will not see the rank of colonel and that he should quietly retire.

He deserves an unsatisfactory rating for what he did but that would be seen as retaliation. It would also mean being retired as a major instead of a lieutenant colonel.

The similarities between current events and the USSR’s last days are really quite remarkable. Look at all the opponents of President Trump who have disappeared or find themselves in jail or accused of serious crimes. Oh, wait a minute, Lt. Col. Vindman—it’s the President’s supporters who find themselves in legal trouble not his political enemies.

As a tyrant, President Trump is obviously doing it all wrong. Lt. Col. Vindman after testifying against the President gets his retirement and no doubt lots of lucrative job offers. Meanwhile Lt. Gen. Flynn has lost virtually everything because he joined Trump’s team.

He was anti-American during his career, per military that served in sane units.

A foreign country wanted him to serve them, but Vindman didn’t notify anyone or any of his superiors.

Vindman reveals on a daily basis that, his reasons for testifying against Trump, were highly political and vindictive. Nothing to do with Trump selling out the country at all.
