Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a member of the National Security Council who testified against President Trump at Tuesday's impeachment inquiry, said Trump didn't "request" an investigation into a political opponent -- he demanded it. "[M]y impression is that in order to get the White House meeting, President Zelensky would have to deliver these investigations," Vindman said. In his opening statement, Vindman said he listened to the now-famous July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky. I listened in on the call in the Situation Room with White House

My impression is that Vindman is a traitor to our republic.
Guilty!
Throw him in the brigg. He’ll be secure there.

He should testify to facts not his conclusions.

Oh, well that settles it.
My impression is that you are a Trump hating traitor. My impression is that you and your brother are on the payroll of some Ukrainian thugs.

So, is he refuting the words in the transcript? Or point out which words were the demand? Does he know 'Senator' Boxer?

Mr. Vindman is full of himself. Puts his uniform on for show (not worn at the "office"). Feeling inferior?
Shudder to think that DC is salted with these perfumed princes hung up on "feelings" and self importance.
As President Reagan said, "There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit." That certainly disqualifies Alexander.

Perfumed prince is right. Viet Nam had a lot of officers that showed up in country, sat in the safe spaces and had their tickets punched as having served in a combat zone. I'd call him a 'Colonel' in name only, any enlisted man could probably do his job.

According to Vindman Trump had a superior position than Zelensky so the ‘favor’ was really a demand. If so no US
Pres can ever ask a favor only a demand since they will always be in a superior position.
Dem logic never makes any sense.

This is like the old-school game of 'telephone' where these witness are the last player who 'heard' the message and deliver a laughable version of the original content. If only it was just a kid's game.

You are here to testify as to what you know as a fact, not as to what your impression is. Answering with an impression instead of a fact will get folks killed in combat.

There's the word I was trying to find to describe this impeachment 'inquiry' (more like inquisition): Impressionist. Except impressionist works weren't claimed to be realistic portrayals. So far, this makes a near-perfect match for Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing -- another grand spctacle of bovine excrement that the mainstream news media treated as if they were truer than life.

My impression is that Schwartz György Vindman is a paid lying seditionist whose time at Gitmo is way overdue.

Vindman seems to be involved in the "deals" some have been linked to in Ukraine, and possible that Vindman was "the coordinator" of that activity.
When he heard the new president was really going to look into Ukraine corruption, and how it may affect those "deals" he likely alerted others who were involved. We know by his own testimony he stepped out of the call and made a call to Kent, and an intelligence person, whom he claims had the clearance, but possibly not the authority, to be "read in".
He also claimed not to know who the "whistleblower" was, but that did not stop Rep. Bull Schiff from interrupting the questioning that he believe was going to expose this person even though Schiff also claims not to know.

Impression? Where's your proof? There isn't any.
Think everyone can see where this fake hearing is going.

Lt Colonel ChickenSchiff's "impression" was due to the fact that English is his second language. Russian moles should never have access to anything that happens in our government.

The president of the United States may be removed from office upon the commission of high crimes or the impressions of a Lieutenant Colonel ? What is an LC's job in the Pentagon ? Make coffee.

The man is a complete idiot. Why would two heads of state use a 'yes sir/no sir' style military culture in their exchanges It makes no sense. Secondly the 'favor' Trump is asking for is clearly about Crowdstrike. A polite way to remind the Ukrainian about commitments already made. It has no mention of Joe or Hunter Biden. Another nothing burger!

If prior Presidents were held to the high level of scrutiny by past Army Lieutenant Colonels, as Vindman is holding President Trump, the Normandy Invasion probably never would have got off the ground.

I am having a hard time building any concern about Trump asking anyone for a favor. Trump may also eat post osties for breakfast. I am just not concerned about it.

Vindman taking it like a party pinata, tonight. He's got to wish he was back at his upscale condo in Tacoma running logistics for Ukrainian gun-runners.

His impression was Trump demanded a favor yet Bidens’s tape of demanding the prosecution drop his son’s investigation & bragging when it was dropped was not wrong...unbelievable!

I can only conclude this putz was one of the incompetent subversives that Barry installed after he fired a competent one.
