MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday blasted right-wing commentators who have questioned National Security Council official Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s loyalty, calling such pundits “chickenshit.”
After it was reported that Vindman would testify to Congress that he twice raised concerns to his superiors over President Trump’s infamous July call to the Ukrainian president, Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Brian Kilmeade, ex-Bush Administration official John Yoo, and CNN contributor Sean Duffy all suggested Vindman was a Ukrainian double agent.
After playing a clip of Yoo claiming “some people might call [Vindman’s actions] espionage,” Wallace railed: “Except those people aren’t chickenshit like the three of you and they know he passed a background check that the president’s daughter and son-in-law didn’t.” Vindman, an Iraq War veteran who was awarded a Purple Heart, is a Ukrainian-American immigrant who emigrated from Ukraine when he was three years old.

Is Vindman a Russian or a Ukrainian?
Did Y’all ever notice that merely pointing out the truth about an ally of the leftists is ‘smearing’.... But telling lies about the allies of the right is ‘heroic’?
Ok Nicolle, now do Michael Flynn, am a patient gal
The left only thinks those are “Heroic” who bash Trump.if Vindman had come out and said that he had ZERO issues with the phone call the left would have demanded he be hung in the town square
I give Duffy one month max at CNN.....
Good old Nickel.....
Berkeley grad who cheated on her husband with a NY Times reporter.
The guy shows up in full dress like a puffed up peacock. Oooooh he voiced concern. MSM keeps this BS going and building. I wonder how many clueless viewers have forgotten or never knew that the transcript was released
Of course, Schitt hasn’t released the transcript, but what was reported is that Vindman was “concerned” that Ukraine’s interests could ultimately be damaged. So, how is the criticism of him wrong? Why wasn’t his “concern” for American interests?
‘
He was working for Ukraine without the knowledge or permission of US Govt.
That’s espionage.
And he admits to that, so it’s probably worse.

Am I the only one who finds it inappropriate or illegal under the UCMJ for an active duty Army Colonel in uniform under the ultimate command of the Executive Branch to inject himself into a conflict between governmental branches based on his interpretation of a conversation that is at odds with the transcript.

No. Unfortunately, the Executive Branch is Trump and his own party hates him and wants him gone every bit as much as his opposition party.
She needs slapping down.
Trump should give his Trump Organization security folks top clearance to search every intercept of the CIA and FBI to find the dirt on this baby-faced traitor.
Yeah, I’d like to see someone knock that smug look off her face.
Liberals can’t tell the difference between a purple heart and a bronze star...
She personifies chikkenshit.
BTW has she defended Gen Flynn?
Or just this pompous little doughboy LTC?
How many remember back during the surge in Iraq when General David Patraeus was referred to a David Betrayus by the Democrats ??
Screw them
Jewish.
The bassturd and his brother are being investigated for espionage! Who the hell (I say again) hires these nincompoop, antiTrumpers, traitors??
