Alexander Vindman Admits Making up Parts of Trump Call Summary
breitbart ^ | 11/19/2019 | spiering

Posted on 11/19/2019 12:59:12 PM PST by RummyChick

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman admitted he made up elements of President Donald Trump’s call with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an official summary. Prior to the call, Vindman included a discussion about corruption in the talking points provided to the president but Trump did not use them in the call.

The summary Vindman wrote after the call read:

President Trump underscored the unwavering support of the United States for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity – within its internationally recognized borders – and expressed his commitment to work together with President-elect Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people to implement reforms that strengthen democracy, increase prosperity, and root out corruption.

Lenin wrote about their visions of the future:

Lenin famously alleged that after you cleared away those pesky illusions of mere nationality, a shoe-cobbler from Vienna would under Marxism see that he actually had much more in common a shoe cobbler from Prague than he did with a Vienna banker.

What BESIDES being a shoe-cobbler might Lenin have ACTUALLY been writing about..?

What acted so strongly to see the US Vindman shoe-cobbler see so eye-to-eye with these other billionaire Ukrainian shoe-cobblers..?

Cuz that IS what we had, here.

New: here it is, Buried on Page 8 of Volker’s statement: one sentence that he expects to clean up all his previous denials: “In retrospect, I should have seen that connection [between Burisma and Biden] differently, and had I done so, I would have raised my own objections.”

I don’t think Nunes was betting on him reversing his opening statement from the closed door testimony. Volker is clearly out to save his own ass.

I don’t know what Vindman’s 201 file says about his A&D, but he has `phony vet’ written all over him - that overstuffed look.

His officer hat would be the envy of any North Korean general. And the same liberals who togged him out in full dyke just to impress the rubes are the ones who loathe the military a la Clintons. Sheer hypocrisy.

Thank goodness we have a President who loves the sting of battle. He’ll get us through this one, too.

I cant believe this puke is getting away with this garbage unless people in charge are letting him hang himself.

This guy is openly admitting to falsifying evidence and committing perjury.

FWIW, it is absolutely not OK for a person in his job position to wear his military uniform in this forum

Something is very wrong here.

Once this coup attempt implodes a lot of eggs will have been cracked to try to cook up the impeachment omelet with no way to unscramble or put pieces back together.

Unless they are working with President Trump, a lot of high level, senior military and NSC people need to be cashiered or reassigned to Yemen or the hardest and most dangerous posts in Afghanistan

Vindman’s claim that Trump was Zelensky’s superior officer and therefore suggestions to Zelensky were “orders” - was both an insane claim, and an outright lie. Doesn’t even begin to make sense.

GOP military guy brought up the distinction.

In the military suggestions are orders.

Trump and Ukraine guy were not military and don’t have the same culture

“Prior to the call, Vindman included a discussion about corruption in the talking points provided to the president...”


So he was trying to insert the subject for which the Dems were to try to impeach Trump over: Hmmmm.


“...but Trump did not use them in the call.”

He would have fit right in, with Comey’s FBI. But seems like he’s just one of SO MANY deep-staters, and they will likely never all be outed. They’ll just go on to continue subtly undermining POTUS and/or our values... then they’ll ride off into the sunset with a fat pension that we finance.

At least Omar is hopefully about to be exposed

Like Rush said today, Democrats warned all to not belittle the great war hero Vindman but, a few years back, Democrats verbally abused General Petreus and Colonel Ollie North. Once again, double standards in the vicious Democrat camp.

That is great.

There is so much of it, it is very hard to keep up.

Especially when the MSM simply ignores EVERYTHING that they cannot turn into some negative report on POTUS.

The Beltway is full of deep staters who think they run this country. It's supposed to be their turn. Who is this Trump guy, imposter to our brass ring?

Thousands of Potts, Horriuchis,Strozks, Ohrrs, Jarretts, Blumenthals, Rhodes, Brennans, Rides, Clappers, and so on. All bureaucratic thugs. Some with a gun. Some laundering cash.

All well and good, but NONE of the Major Broadcast Outlets will be spreading the news, so it might as well not have happened.

I spent a few days visiting Family and haven’t spent much time on line. Throughout my trip I heard many Hourly News Updates, Local and Network.

NONE of them supporteded POTUS Trump, but they all breathlessly described the supposed mounting Case for Impeachment. It is a relentless drumbeat and the only push back is mentioning POTUS Trump talking about it or sending a Tweet calling it a Witch Hunt and attacking the proceedings.

They are wearing down the Public to believe their Lies, and people on our side keep saying it’s hurting the Democrats and ther chances in the 2020 Elections. I guess living in a bubble makes people believe that’s true. Time will tell I guess.

Even if and when an “A HA” Moment occurs, (still waiting for that IG Report are we?), it will be sanitized by the Media and will resemble nothing but Partisan Gossip. What the Report might say and what the Public will hear about it will be a million miles apart.

I will continue to hope I am wrong, but so far it’s going bad for our side IMHO, no matter what Hannity, Rush, Levin and Tucker say. Truth bears no resemblance to what the Public is being spoon fed, every minute of every day.
