"I represent the Pentagon and US military against Orange Man.
He is NOT a Democrat and must be removed."

Fox Business Host Lou Dobbs and President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton discuss the testimony of Lt. Col Vindman and his congressional admission to usurp the executive power of the President.
The word “coup” shifted to a new level of formalized meaning last week when members of the political resistance showed up to remove President Trump wearing military uniforms.
Not only did U.S. military leadership remain silent to the optics and purpose, but in the testimony of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman he admits to giving instructions to ignore the instructions from a sitting United States President.
In the absence of push-back from the Joint Chiefs, from this moment forth, the impression is tacit U.S. military support for the Vindman objective .....

Tom Fitton is a VERY GOOD MAN.
My understanding is that in the military any order given by your superior should be considered valid unless obviously illegal. And if you consider it obviously illegal that matter will still be determined by a court martial. That’s how Terry Lakin lost his career. And Vindman should go through the same process.
“And Vindman should go through the same process.”
That pudgy pasty-faced prick is so arrogant! He’s sure nothing bad will happen to him. (And he’s probably right.)

A question from the CTH comments section:
G. Alistar says:
"Q: Did LTC Vindman volunteer to do this interview or did Schiff’s team subpoena him? I note that Vindman’s lawyers would not let him answer any questions about his prior contact with Schiff or his committee."
I remember when the military was considered apolitical with conservative leanings. Just goes to show what a 24 year sandwich... a generation.. of Obama and Clinton wrapped around a weak GWB can do. Obama cashiered many top personnel and replaced them with more politically compliant ones.
We are setting an awful precedent for the future. After Trump’s Term(s) are complete, this will be the new standard operating mode for any President the Deep State doesn’t like. We have ventured off to anarchy and add to that Judges that ignore written Law and apply “feel good” quotients. Hard to have a lot faith in the future.
The Pentagon has earned in spades a large budget cut in Trump’s second term. I’m sure he can get the Democrats to agree to that. I never in my life seen a more ungrateful bunch than “Trump’s Generals” and now senior military leadership.
Yes....agreed.
You you read Vindman’s testimony, he was very territorial regarding US foreign policy with regard to Ukraine. He felt like it was he and his inter-agency brethren who were responsible for our policy with Ukraine and testified that he was “disturbed” and “concerned” that the President would “interfere” with all of their hard work.
Vindman is proof that the Russkis are still meddling in our elections.
Colonel Doughboy.
The joint chiefs tacit approval is an ominous devolpment and best not be ignored.
Court Marshall for Fat Boy Vindman - bump for later...

I wake up every morning to see more of this treason & sedition. the disregard for due process & the consitution.
It makes me wonder what f’n country am I living in??
Do you have details and citations for the unauthorized awards?
Vindman should be sitting in the brig awaiting his article 92 court martial. Instead he’s just being removed from the NSC.
