Alexander Vindman just entered the Capitol in full uniform to testify in the impeachment inquiry.

Meantime, conservatives on cable TV are questioning his loyalty to the United States.​

9:16 AM - Oct 29, 2019

Can he pursue anyone criticising him for slander legally? These fucking idiots are just saying what they're saying because of their blind loyalty to Trump, but Vindman shouldn't let them get away with it if he has the power to do anything.

The rights response to this man doing what's right is so disgusting and yet so on brand for them.

He already has before even arriving. He contradicted much of what Vindman said in what is going to be his prepared statement.

Trump ass lickers don't even wait anymore, they work preemptively to discredit anyone who dares to question their king.

Yes, Sondland "forgot" a lot of things it seems, but I bet there's more. If he has more juicy bits from the perfect call or the "transcript", oh boy.

Funny thing about Sondland is that he went with his attorney to the SCIF yesterday morning to make some...corrections.

I wonder if those corrections will be further negated by what will come out of this today.

"who is the whistleblower? why would i trust a second-hand account?"

"here's a first hand account"

"...that person is a spy".

Respect the Military my ass.

I need a compilation video of all the military members Trump and Republicans have insulted for the past 3 years including Mattis to protect themselves.

It's not about trying to convince his hardcore base, they are far gone. What this is for is to convince the independence and the Republicans with a conscious that may vote Democrat just so that they can try to right the boat back into the right direction.

And if he's pissing off the military, they may in fact vote Democrat next year. As long as the nominee isn't doing anything stupid or illegal, they should be able to beat Trump next year. This is why I don't support Biden as the nominee, I don't know how many skeletons he have in his closet or if he'll say something stupid to a minority base and pissed them off.

I too was planning my espionage lifestyle at the age of 3. I escaped the home that was my prison to the park on several occasions. My plans were starting to come together.

Nicholas Fandos @npfandos

He fled Ukraine at age 3 and became a soldier, scholar and official at the White House. That's where, he plans to tell impeachment investigators, he witnessed alarming behavior by President Trump.

God forbid we should have national security professionals who can communicate with foreign officials in their native language & are country specialists. Vindman has a valid security clearance, which is more than can be said for the president & 2 of his senior advisors. https://twitter.com/ndrew_lawrence/status/1189002513594441730 …

I dont know how anyone can hear this endless stream of bullshit excusing Trump of an endless stream of bullshit and believe it.

Imagine a friend has been arrested 37 times for burglary, and you've heard "I got the wrong house", and "I just needed to use the toilet" and "I was checking there were no burglars in there". ...and you STILL go "Well, they're out to get my friend!"

If he wasn't wearing the uniform, Fox News would say "UKRANIAN SPY DOESN'T WEAR MILITARY UNIFORM! WHY DOES HE HATE AMERICA??"

Fuck Rupert Murdoch. Why can't we burn Fox to the fucking ground?

It's amazing when you think about it. This was the party that 10 years ago responded to anyone against the war in Iraq with "why do you hate the troops?" or other crap. Now they actively attack vets and get away with it. Attacking McCain was their trial balloon.

Why don't they do this deposition publicly????

The optics of a military man in full brass condemning trump would be amazing for the odds of a conviction actually happening.

All of these depositions that have been behind closed doors because this is the evidence gathering phase. Soon we will have public testimony with a lot of these same witnesses to present the case to the American people.

Any mention of Russia from Democrats gets met with cries of Red Scare! McCarthyism! from Republicans. Now Repubs are saying Ukraine connection makes this guy a spy?

It's pretty clear here that the next move from the Trump cult is to make the Ukrainians the bad guys in all of this.

"Listen, these Ukrainians are no angels. Where were they during Normandy?"

Maybe the plan is to accuse them of being the Soviet Ukrainian Union, and the USA needs the help of Russia to defeat these evil socialists, which is why Trump is handing the title of President to Putin.

Torture apologist tries to backpedal:

"I want to clear up a misconception of my remarks on the Laura Ingraham show last night," he told the Washington Examiner Tuesday. "I did not accuse Lt. Col. Vindman of committing the crime of espionage. I have tremendous respect for a decorated officer of the U.S. Army and a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. What I was addressing was a report that Ukrainian officials had sought to contact Vindaman for advice on how to handle Rudy Giuliani acting as a presidential envoy."
"I meant to say that this sounded like an espionage operation by the Ukrainians," he added. "I think it deliberately misconstrues my words to say that the separate issue of the phone call between the U.S. and Ukrainian president through the chain of command constitutes espionage by Vindaman, or that Vindaman is some kind of double agent."
During a segment, Ingraham highlighted a portion of a New York Times report about Vindman's upcoming testimony. She pointed out that Vindman was born in Ukraine and that Ukrainian officials "sought advice from him about how to deal with" Giuliani.
Yoo, 52, now a professor at the University of California, responded to Ingraham, saying, "I find that astounding. Some people might call that espionage."

That's been the move since Manafort got busted. Actually even before that. Because the true move, the point of most of the shit going on these past 3 years, is to lift all sanctions on Russia and to keep that dark money flowing. And in order to do that, you have to throw Ukraine to the wolves.

They're gonna bring all the hearings with the important witnesses again publicly. This part is only private so that people don't coordinate testimonies. These people will all be called back in when we hit the public stage.

It goes back longer than that. Remember that they mocked Kerry's service in 2004, 15 years ago.

They don't and never have cared about "service", it's just a bludgeoning tool they like to wield when they can.

Not America


I mean, HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW is this NOT racist? What the fuck!?

Imagine if the guy was Jewish or brown or black who had immigrated to US. You give your all for a country (filled with degenerates in power) and then all of sudden he is NOT American or has other allegiance?

How the fuck is this on nationalized broadcast? Seriously what the fuck!?
