Former National Security Council Ukraine expert Alexander Vindman called President Trump Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “useful idiot” in a new interview.
“President Trump should be considered to be a useful idiot and a fellow traveler, which makes him an unwitting agent of Putin,” Vindman told The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg.
“They may or may not have dirt on him, but they don’t have to use it,” he said when asked if the Kremlin has material to blackmail Trump. “They have more effective and less risky ways to employ him. He has aspirations to be the kind of leader that Putin is, and so he admires him. He likes authoritarian strongmen who act with impunity, without checks and balances. So he’ll try to please Putin.”
Vindman gained a national profile with his testimony against the president in the House’s impeachment inquiry last year. He retired from the military this July, saying a retaliatory campaign by the president had stalled his promotion to the rank of colonel. White House communications director Alyssa Farah, however, has called the allegation that Vindman was the victim of retaliation “ridiculous and false,” although Trump has tweeted that he was “very insubordinate.”
“The president destroyed my Army career,” Vindman told Goldberg in the interview published Monday. “I’m not crying over spilled milk. I have other things to do.”
The Atlantic interview marks Vindman’s first public remarks against Trump since the impeachment hearings.

When will that fat f—k ever shut up?
No....you did that all yourself.
“The president destroyed my Army career,”
Go break a few thermometers and play with the mercury you phony POS.
Donut Boy should quietly fade away.
He must be going to have his book come out soon. Saw him lying to Lester Holt tonight on the national news.
Impeachment liar.
That guy is in the top five most detested people in my book. Along with Peter Stroke.
What did scumbag Vindman say when Obama let Putin invade Crimea and his beloved Ukraine?
Vindman’s partisanship has done enormous damage to The Ukraine.
Fat fart didn’t witness anything. He claimed to have heard rumors that...
One look at that pasty-faced dude instantly says “Useful Idiot From Birth.”
A lot like the mugshots of the equally-pasty-faced “Social Justice Warriors.”
Speaking of a useful idiot....
Ukrainian anus.
I wonder since he’s no longer in the service, can he be held accountable for the whistblower stuff or for lying and leaking?
Putin must be laughing his butt off when he hears the Democrats accuse Trump of being his puppet. The Democrats, many Republicans and the media wouldn’t want a true bipartisan investigation on so called Russian meddling in our elections because a lot of their names would show up on the Kremlin’s pay list! We know our history. The Democrats have always been cozy with Russia, and before that the Soviet Union.
Obviously Fats Vindman is very bitter.
Heehee......
If anybody’s Putin’s “useful idiot,” it Vindman. He was born in Kiev, Ukraine, which is only 761 miles from St. Petersburg, Russia where Putin was born. Practically neighbors.
LOL! Right, you lying Communist. YOU ruined your career. You piece of shit. How DARE you say that the Commander In Chief ruined your career when you decided to advance that career by LYING and stabbing him in the back.
“The president destroyed my Army career,” Vindman told Goldberg“
I am pretty sure the donuts would have ended him if he ever did an honest weigh in and pt test.
