What you need to know about Alexander Vindman’s testimony

OK, here we go

This was just the first salvo

Vindman did not follow the chain of command

What’s important to know is that he told Kent and then told Ciaramella BEFORE talking to the lawyer- who told him not to tell anyone.

Schiff lies through his teeth

Here Vindman castigates Trump for not following the talking points

I thought this was the best part of the hearing

Schiff said he doesn’t know who the WB is. Vindman says he doesn’t know who the WB is, yet Schiff would not allow Vindman to tell Jordan or Nunes who he talked to in addition to Kent. He did say it was someone in the IC.

Here Vindman lies again

Vindman never told his boss anything

This would have been quite amusing if not for the stakes

It appears that Vindman specifically avoided going to his boss so he could leak it via Ciaramella

Question: Who are the “appropriate people”?

About that “demand”

Elise Stefanik scores again

That darned Trump didn’t do as I ordered him to do

You’re not the boss of me

Not one witness mentions bribery

Schiff says that he gets to make it up:

Rep. Schiff: “The reason we don’t ask… fact witnesses to make the judgment about whether a crime of bribery has been committed is you’re fact witnesses. It will be our job to decide whether the impeachable act of bribery has occurred.”

This really has become a farce. Nothing is going the way Schiff planned it go. Seems to me he led with what he thought were his strongest witnesses to do the greatest damage when he could expect the largest audience. The rest of the witnesses are not to going to advance his cause- especially not Fiona Hill, who questioned Vindman’s judgment.

But not we have largely irrefutable proof that Vindman is the source for Ciaramella, thanks to Schiff.

About that “demand”

Rep. Chris Stewart

@RepChrisStewart
Lt. Col. Vindman characterized the 7/25 phone call as a “demand” based on his military experience & military culture.

President Trump & President Zelensky—who have never served in the military—did not interpret it as a demand.

Anyone else’s interpretation is irrelevant.

This is a critical point of fact.
A military person might interpret words according to his military melieu.
A non-military person might have completely different understandings of those same terms.
In printing, which we retired from after over 40 years, we had to make sure we were understood properly by non-printing customers who hired us.
“Do you want us to book your order?”
In printing “booking” means printing it in 8-page signatures that fold down to form properly paginated pages for a booklet or book.
If you don’t do that you can’t bind it in proper order.
Nothing to do with asking a table to be set aside for dinner. LOL. ( <- internet jargon)

Every area of expertise has its own jargon.

Silly Vindman lied when he ASS-U-ME'ed Trump and Zelinsky understood things like military men would.
He knew they did not.

At what point do we start to look for the payments?

The Media
Vindman
Jim Jordan’s sudden “scandal” that is nothing more than another Dem-bought hoax.

Who’s paying the money, and how are they getting it?

The Dems are paying people to lie. Period.

@Nathan Blue: Check out the ChiComs AND Soreass.

Alex Tom, a leader of LeftRoots and the pro-Beijing San Francisco-based Chinese Progressive Association, in 2012 formed the China Education and Exposure Program to “build a deeper analysis of China for US progressives and leftists and to build relationships with the grassroots movement in China,” according to his 2013 LeftForum speaker’s bio.

John Marienthal, a San Jose-based FRSO member, has been a leader of the pro-Beijing U.S.–China Peoples Friendship Association for more than 40 years and has taught in several Chinese educational establishments since the 1980s.

@UpChuck.Liberals: Ah…there it is…

Thanks for that.

This is all about bought power.

The party sending Impeachment to Senate wins the next Presidential election!
EVERY TIME! R 1868, D1976,R2000

When Mitch holds a trial he will elect Whoever the D nominate!

561 Angus MacDougal, “Those not learning history must repeat it.”!

@Rod: if only what the Dems are doing is an actual impeachment…which it’s not.

Trump has been and outlier in every way.
