Responding to Lt. Col. Vindman about my Ukraine columns … with the facts
www.johnsolomonreports.com ^ | 11/22/19 | John Solomon

Posted on 11/23/2019 8:15:54 AM PST by spacejunkie2001

honor and applaud Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s service to his country. He’s a hero. I also respect his decision to testify at the impeachment proceedings. I suspect neither his service nor his testimony was easy.

But I also know the liberties that Lt. Col. Vindman fought on the battlefield to preserve permit for a free and honest debate in America, one that can’t be muted by the color of uniform or the crushing power of the state.

So I want to exercise my right to debate Lt. Col. Vindman about the testimony he gave about me. You see, under oath to Congress, he asserted all the factual elements in my columns at The Hill about Ukraine were false, except maybe my grammar

Here are his exact words:

“I think all the key elements were false,” Vindman testified.

Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y, pressed him about what he meant. “Just so I understand what you mean when you say key elements, are you referring to everything John Solomon stated or just some of it?”

“All the elements that I just laid out for you. The criticisms of corruption were false…. Were there more items in there, frankly, congressman? I don’t recall. I haven’t looked at the article in quite some time, but you know, his grammar might have been right.”

I can’t read Ukrainian or Russian, whatever this Cyrillic language is, but I think the English translation is, “Joe Biden ain’t gonna be the nominee.”

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

translation could also be: “epstein did not kill himself”??

“You really should read the whole thing”

You’re correct. He really should.

Soloman politely tells us what Vindman accused him of, and then Soloman goes through 28 things he’s claimed and backs each up with references.

Finally Soloman asks Vindman to either prove he’s wrong correct his testimony.

Soloman does not waste words nor display indignation.

That's probably tucked in right at the end.

When I was serving the PH was not given for valor, only injuries associated with performing military duty.

I’ve been curious about his hat. Light blue and yellow bands? don’t recall seeing that before.
Another question pertaining to the ‘dual citizenship ‘ issue.
The ‘dual’ could only be recognized by the birth country. Right?
When an immigrant becomes a US citizen he/she renounces all allegiance to any other country, king, potentate, etc.

Vindman clearly sympathises with and promotes the Ukraine. He must be replaced at once and given a desk job with the civil engineers in Baghdad.

History is so much fun.... So this assclown Vinmann was offered SecDEF of Ukraine?

Benedict Arnold only got brigadier general from the British.

Inflation iteration for treason?

This POS, Mr. Vindman, is not a soldier.
He is a traitorous spy.

It would be interesting to get Vindman under oath and force him to address each of Solomon’s points.

The issue about US Ambassador Yanakovitch and other US State Department staff demanding that specified persons and entities must NOT be prosecuted (Solomon unfortunately left out the NOT in his post), is of extreme importance.

Doesn’t it seem like this do-not-prosecute list would be a roadmap to individuals and groups on the US/Soros payroll, used as fronts to interfere in Ukrainian internal affairs and politics? (A few might have been genuine reformers under attack from corrupt elements inside the Ukrainian government). And lo and behold, Burisma Holdings was on the list.

I wonder if the owner of Burisma Holdings signed on as a US I.C. asset precisely to have this type of protection.

Vindman pulled a John Kerry.


He’s a real-life Major Frank Burns! Burns wanted a Purple Heart for a breakfast mishap.

I can’t believe there are no Army people here who could recognize his awards.
