Is this legit? Vindman has a twin brother who will also witness?

From the Palmer Report on Twitter:



"It turns out Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman has a twin brother Yevgeny who is also a Lieutenant Colonel, and also serves on the Trump National Security Council, and is also a witness against Donald Trump. No really, this is true. The New York Times says that when Alexander Vindman took his concerns about Trump to a National Security Council lawyer, he took his twin brother with him. In addition to sounding like a plot twist straight out of a thriller movie, this means that there is now yet another credible witness against Donald Trump. Alexander and Yevgeny are just the latest people in the Trump regime to have sounded the alarm about the Ukraine-related crimes that Donald Trump and his henchmen were committing."

Alexander's twin brother is the National Security Council ethics attorney, and helped walk Alexander through the process of reporting his concerns to his superiors.

His weak sauce analysis is on par with an intrepid journalist that used to haunt DU.

That being said, he does occasionally get something correct, but my Magic 8-Ball has a better track record.
