Some things you need to know about Col. Vindman

The #FakeNews media will be portraying Col. Vindman as being a military hero who is above reproach.  Oddly the same media has declared for 3 years that General Flynn is an untrustworthy rapscallion; as with all things leftist respect, and truth, depends on one and only one thing, does the person help the left get more power.

But we have a lot of facts about Vindman which reveal he's not that reliable of a person:

1) Vindman's boss Tim Morrison testified to Congress that Vindman lied about some of his proposed edits for the infamous transcript not being accepted. She said that all of his suggestions were incorporated.

2) Morrison also testified that Fiona Hill, Vindman's previous boss, and others had raised serious concerns about Vindman's judgement and that Morrison had concerns about Vindman's judgement.

3) Vindman has testified that he told people that he had no right to tell about what happened in the phone call.

4) Vindman is supposedly the Ukraine expert but he admitted to being in the dark about critical issues like Burisma the corrupt company at the core of Trump's interest and he thought that Obama had provided Javelin missiles to Ukraine when in fact Obama refused all military aid to Ukraine.

5) Vindman has testified that he doesn't understand the Constitution.  The Washington Post described Vindman's testimony this way; Vindman was "deeply troubled by what he interpreted as an attempt by the president to subvert U.S. foreign policy.". But under the Constitution it's the President not the "interagency" who defines US foreign policy.  So we have Vindman on record as saying that it's wrong for a President to overrule the unelected bureaucrats.

6) While the fact that Vindman was born in the Ukraine isn't intrinsically problematic Vindman's testimony makes it clear that he is highly confident that he knows what's best for Ukraine and the US and that he's very mad at Trump for daring to disagree.  That a man raised in the US by Ukrainian parents might have a bias for the Ukraine isn't shocking.  After all Democrats are constantly declaring that American born and raised Jews who support Israel aren't really being patriotic.  That's a big lie but declaring that we can't look at Vindman's actions to see where is loyalties might lie is equally wrong.  Hence we can conclude that Vindman is biased not on his parentage but on his actions.

7) This point isn't as well documented as I'd like but I'm going to include it because it's far more credible than any of the women's testimony against Justice Kavanaugh and I'm not going to let the Democrats have one set of rules for their guys and another for ours.

Retired US Army Colonel Jim Hickman has said that he verbally reprimanded Vindman for ridiculing Americans and America to Russian military officers during a joint US Russian exercise in Europe.

Hickman did so after a civilian government employee reported that Vindman was disparaging America. The Colonel then came over heard Vindman's comments and pulled him outside and reprimanded him.

This is clearly highly problematic if true and I have no reason to believe that Hickman is lying since his comments were confirmed by another US officer, Lt. Col. Thomas Lasch

8) Vindman has testified that there are no major errors in the transcript which means that contrary to what you've been hearing Vindman brings no evidence of any improper act by Trump. As with the other witnesses the key "problem" being raised by Vindman is that he, Vindman, believes that Trump doesn't have the right to control US foreign policy.
