“Can a non American born have top secret clearances today?”

“One became president. Twice.”

Your tagline is validated again!

He only received the offer because Captain Obvious turned it down.

Rush is all over this now.

Vindman got these offers, brags about his Ukraine knowledge, but knows nuttin’ about Biden’s activities.

Vindman just screwed the former veep. Since the US runs Ukraine, when a sitting veep tells Ukraine to put the kibosh on an investigation, the investigation gets killed. How could Vindman not know about that...

Paul Blart Vindman - Mall Cop

WHAT was his injury that earned him a Purple Heart. “An IED hit his vehicle and shrapnel penetrated the armor.” Was he struck by this shrapnel? Or, was he deafened by the explosion? WHAT WAS HIS INJURY?

And appropriate line of questioning would be: Did the Ukraine ever say anything to you alluding to why they thought you would be a good fit for that position?

Does this off not imply that Ukraine had reason to believe you could be trusted to pursue the military interests of Ukraine?

He got injured from an egg-shell fragment, like Frank Burns.

I dont see any value in denigrating Vindmans service in Iraq.
He is showing what a partisan weasel he is now.
I cant believe he lasted in NSC past day 1 of Trump administration.

UKraine does not allow its citizens to have a dual citizenship.

You must renounce your Ukrainian citizenship to become an American.

Something is very odd about this. Hope are follow up on it.

Ukrainians vote in an anti-corruption group of candidates and they turn around and pick Burisma as the first company to investigate. Top of the heap of corruption. So then the U. S. Vice President’s son is paid to be on the board.

LtCol isn’t “high in the ranks”. The Army promotion rate to 05 is over 70%. Unless they screw up, an average officer who sticks around long enough will make LtCol.

When they saw how much Vindman hated America, no wonder they offered him a job.

BUT, THEN, COULD THEY TRUST HIM TO BE LOYAL?????
