after watching him testify this afternoon- I think he is full of himself, thinks he knows best, and should be in charge (or thinks he IS in charge) of Ukraine Policy
Vindman is a pudgy pompous little $hit.
He deserves his own trap door.
Are there any Laws regarding LYING UNDER OATH TO CONGRESS??
Maybe we should ask Roger Stone.
I think his whole whistle blower stunt is to try and save his career. He a loose cannon that should be terminated for conduct unbecoming.

I know LTC Alex Vindman from a Combined US-Russian exercise called Atlas Vision 12 in Grafenwoher, GE.
He worked w/the Russian Embassy & I was assigned to the JMTC (Joint Multinational Training Command), w/in USAREUR (US Army Europe). He worked coordination w/the Russian 15th Peacekeeping Brigade, & I was in charge of all Simulations planning, as well as assisting the USAREUR Lead Planner as the Senior Military Planner.
The following account of LTC Vindman’s words & actions are completely accurate to the best of my recollection & have been corroborated by others.
We interacted on several different occasions throughout the planning cycle, but it was during the actual execution of the exercise, that we had an issue relevant to his recent testimony.
As stated earlier, Atlas Vision 12 was conducted at JMTC in the VBS2 (Virtual Battle Simulations 2) Classrooms for Simulation. Vindman, who was a Major at the time, was sitting in one of the classrooms talking to the US & Russian Soldiers, as well as the young Officers & GS Employees about America, Russia, & Obama.
He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, & really talked up Obama & globalism to the point of uncomfortable.
He would speak w/the Russian Soldiers & laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel. It was so uncomfortable & unprofessional, one of the GS employees came & told me everything above. I walked over & sat w/in earshot of Vindman, & sure enough, all was confirmed.
One comment truly struck me as odd, & it was w/respect to American’s falsely thinking they’re exceptional, when he said, “He [Obama] is working on that now.” And he said it w/a snide ‘I know a secret’ look on his face. I honestly don’t know what it meant, it just sounded like an odd thing to say.
Regardless, after hearing him bash America a few times in front of subordinates, Russians, & GS Employees, as well as, hearing an earful about globalization, Obama’s plan, etc…I’d had enough. I tapped him on the shoulder & asked him to step outside.
At that point I verbally reprimanded him for his actions, & I’ll leave it at that, so as not to be unprofessional myself. The bottom-line is LTC Vindman was a partisan Democrat at least as far back as 2012. So much so, junior officers & soldiers felt uncomfortable around him.
This is not your professional, field-grade officer, who has the character & integrity to do the right thing. Do not let the uniform fool you…he is a political activist in uniform. I pray our nation will drop this hate, vitriol & division, & unite as our founding fathers intended
I need to make a slight correction on my statement, it was actually Atlas Vision 13 when the incident occurred. I was thrown off, as the next year Russia invaded Crimea. Also, I was promoted to Chief, Regional, Joint & Combined Exercises Branch, USAREUR, over many exercises.
In order words, he is a proven liar.
The fact that this so-called Ukraine expert didn’t know that it was the Trump Administration who sent the anti-tank Javelin missiles to the Ukraine, and not the Obama Administration, tells me all I need to know about this guy. The only thing he is an expert on, is having been conceived, along with his twin brother, somewhere in the Ukraine.
What ELSE did the UkraineLeadership have in common with Vindman that permitted them to so easily see past his “US Military Costume” and invite him to head-up THEIR national defense.
Cuz there WAS something.
They were SOOOOO AMAZINGLY chummy, Ukraine/Vindman were, that Vindman felt comfortable enough to tell frankly tell Ukraine what and what not to take seriously, as said by the PRESIDENT..!
I find that astounding.
That should realllllllly make you slam on the brakes, that.
There was some force that brought those two together, something that surpassed nationality.

Its called perjury and false accusation.
He’s bucking for commandant of inmates at Gitmo.
Karma, please happen soon!
This man is long overdue.
I want to rip every single meddle and badge off of him and throw his fat ass in the brig.
This guy is openly admitting to falsifying evidence and committing perjury.
FWIW, it is absolutely not OK for a person in his job position to wear his military uniform in this forum
Something is very wrong here.
Once this coup attempt implodes a lot of eggs will have been cracked to try to cook up the impeachment omelet with no way to unscramble or put pieces back together.
Unless they are working with President Trump, a lot of high level, senior military and NSC people need to be cashiered or reassigned to Yemen or the hardest and most dangerous posts in Afghanistan
“Prior to the call, Vindman included a discussion about corruption in the talking points provided to the president...”
Like Rush said today, Democrats warned all to not belittle the great war hero Vindman but, a few years back, Democrats verbally abused General Petreus and Colonel Ollie North. Once again, double standards in the vicious Democrat camp.
Thousands of Potts, Horriuchis,Strozks, Ohrrs, Jarretts, Blumenthals, Rhodes, Brennans, Rides, Clappers, and so on. All bureaucratic thugs. Some with a gun. Some laundering cash.
All well and good, but NONE of the Major Broadcast Outlets will be spreading the news, so it might as well not have happened.
I spent a few days visiting Family and haven’t spent much time on line. Throughout my trip I heard many Hourly News Updates, Local and Network.
NONE of them supporteded POTUS Trump, but they all breathlessly described the supposed mounting Case for Impeachment. It is a relentless drumbeat and the only push back is mentioning POTUS Trump talking about it or sending a Tweet calling it a Witch Hunt and attacking the proceedings.
They are wearing down the Public to believe their Lies, and people on our side keep saying it’s hurting the Democrats and ther chances in the 2020 Elections. I guess living in a bubble makes people believe that’s true. Time will tell I guess.
Even if and when an “A HA” Moment occurs, (still waiting for that IG Report are we?), it will be sanitized by the Media and will resemble nothing but Partisan Gossip. What the Report might say and what the Public will hear about it will be a million miles apart.
I will continue to hope I am wrong, but so far it’s going bad for our side IMHO, no matter what Hannity, Rush, Levin and Tucker say. Truth bears no resemblance to what the Public is being spoon fed, every minute of every day.
“Were you lying then or are are you lying now?”
Squeeze his head and watch the Schiff come out.
Lying under oath...Arrest him....
