The word “coup” shifted to a new level of formalized meaning last week when members of the political resistance showed up to remove President Trump wearing military uniforms.
Not only did U.S. military leadership remain silent to the optics and purpose, but in the testimony of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman he admits to giving instructions to ignore the instructions from a sitting United States President.
In the absence of push-back from the Joint Chiefs, from this moment forth, the impression is tacit U.S. military support for the Vindman objective.
Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council official, testified before congressional committees conducting an impeachment inquiry on October 29, wearing a full military uniform.
To date there has been no visible comment from U.S. military sanctioning Lt. Col. Vindman for his decision; or correcting the impression represented by Vindman’s military appearance. The willful blindness is concerning, but it gets much worse.
Beyond the debate about the optics of the “coup“, within the testimony of Lt. Col Vindman, the witness readily admits to understanding the officially established policy of the President of The United States (an agreement between President Trump and President Zelenskyy), and stunningly admits that two weeks later he was giving instructions to his Ukrainian counterpart to ignore those instructions and policies.
The coup against President Donald Trump went from soft, to hard. Consider…
The testimony from Lt. Col. Vindman is available here. [SCRIBD pdf below]
Borrowing from Roscoe B Davis, here are some highlights:
Representative John Ratcliffe begins deconstructing Lt. Col Vindman, while his arrogant attorneys begin trying to interfere with the questioning.
This next section is very interesting, and very important.
Congressman John Ratcliffe begins questioning Vindman from the perspective of an Article 92 violation, coupled with an Article 88 violation. President Trump, is Lt. Col Vindman’s superior. President Trump sets the foreign policy.
Two weeks after President Trump has established an agreement with Ukraine President Zelenskyy, and established the policy direction therein, Lt. Col. Vindman is now giving contrary instructions to the Ukranian government. Vindman’s lawyer recognizes where the questioning is going and goes absolutely bananas:
A reminder from the CIA “whistleblower” attorney. January 30th, 2017, ten days after President Trump’s inauguration: the “coup has started”…
This constitutes a serious breach of trust and dereliction of duty on the part of all from Obama as Commander in Chief on down the chain of command.
Where were Vindman’s voiced concerns about the plight of the kids on the ground when they were getting chewed up by the insane ROEs by a President more interested in protecting the rights of the Jihadi attackers?
It’s a statement of fact that casualty rates doubled the day Obama took office and continued until he left.
Where was this sanctimonious prig back then, when his fellow soldiers were being hung out to dry?
He was bragging about how Obama was executing a plan for actively knocking American arrogance and superiority out of existence.
Well, Obama sure was knocking the “arrogance” ( an ISIS propaganda talking point term, BTW) and sense of superiority out of America’s guys in the field ( and in all other areas too, military and civilian) and -the casualty rates and morale decline attest to that.
On that front, Vindman was smugly approving the takedown and cheering Obama and “his Plan” for taking an arrogant America and it’s military down a notch or two.
Tells you all you need to know about this puke. And he dares wear his dress uniform to the coup
Really hoping to hear Vindman enlighten us to just what that Obama plan to take down America he referred to was, BTW
Correct.
Sundance brings up a lot of stuff - but all his details have added up to zero prosecutions from the DOJ. He is grasping at straws here saying the US military is part of the coup.
The Media was and is part of the coup.
The corrupt Congress was and is part of the coup.
The DOJ was and is part of the coup.
The FBI was and is part of the coup.
The CIA was and is part of the coup.
The State Dept was and is part of the coup.
The military was and is not part of the coup.
Just because some 0-5, with ties to Ukraine himself, is a Democrat and tool of the left - does not mean the US military is behind the plot.
By the way, Sundance has hyperventilated on many, many occasions about how the shoe is about to drop and the Deep State would soon pay.
On that, he is as reliable as the hyper-ventilating Hannity.
In 2017, Sundance was a HUGE supporter of RyanCare, McMaster and many other RINOs.
After I pointed out his misguided beliefs, I was shadowbanned.
Only his mind-numbed groupies are allowed to post.
The best I can tell, we are now seeing the absolute reason for the 2nd Amendment!
He must have been the "poo" boy during training! Ya know, the latrine cleaner!
seems to me, he should be
oopps, should still be, and I might add at Gitmo too
I wasn't writing about intentions, only the action.
The Burt Reynolds version was better.
Isn't that what I just wrote?
You can look at this guy...and tell he ain’t shit...”
I can’t get past how, in full regalia, he looks as imposing as a cabbage patch doll.
Vindman should be executed for attempting to
remove the ELECTED PRESIDENT attempting
a military coup.
Instead, he is protected along with all the
other spies. By whom?
The same who protected Hasan.
Interesting reading the transcript. The questioning was very good. You can tell Vindman was getting a little nervous and trying to walk it back a bit. Long winded “answers” are usually all about somebody thinking, “uh, er, maybe I went too far...how can I save my hide...?”
The Ukraine is a lawless Wild West and Soros is the bad town sheriff there so a lot of Obama era dirty deals and money laundering went on there. A lot of the worst human trafficking goes through there as well.
Many of Obama plans to take America down a notch or two went through the Ukraine and our buddy Lt Col Vindman was reportedly at least aware of, if not an active operative, of those anti American Globalist plots to diminish and degrade America.
Coincidently, so was the second leaker, Eric Ciaramella.
Lots of other highest level Democrats such as Joe Biden, Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and their family members have been implicated and the acting against the interests of America in the Ukraine in collusion with Ukraine leaders is a pretty good case for treason on top of any garden variety corruption and criminality.
This is a good part of the reason Pelosi and crew went ballistic when they learned about Trump pushing investigations of the Democrats ties to Ukraine which overlap and intertwine with their ties with the Soros machine
Democrats are pretty ok with corruption but, at least for the older generation, reason is a whole different issue
bump
Who is vindman working for? Obama, Biden, Hillary..... he wanted the investigation stopped. He’s commie scum.
Don’t be ashamed because of that waste of skin.
It will be men like you, men like myself and many others who people will look to when things hit the fan. Remember our oaths.
Does his brother tie in somehow?
