(25,982 posts)for calling out the pardon of war criminals and then calling out the Repubs for trying to demean Vindman and his service.
"What is in peril is our Constitution and the very values on which it is based... Thank you for your service, sir."
I love this man.
Roland99
(53,342 posts)Jordan still on a one-dimensional mission to out the whistleblower.
Jordan is going to now hone in on that exact timeframe to maybe find out who the whistleblower is...got Vindman to state that after he first went to Eisenberg and when Eisenberg came back shortly later to say come to him directly.

(25,982 posts)he has been retweeting like mad. Various Repubs and their committees are serving up soundbites for him to redistribute. It's a way to try to get around the witness intimidation charge.
BumRushDaShow
(129,396 posts)So the "witness intimidation" charge apparently got through to him (or someone).

(129,396 posts)(I had to take a shower after checking what was coming out of that account)
CSPAN showed a brief blip of remarks he made earlier today to reporters while in some meeting and he was back to the "I don't know (fill in the blank)". I don't know these people. I watched some of it..." and he mumbled some other stuff (had the sound almost on mute) and then he dismissed their questions with a repeated "Thank you" (multiple times).

crickets
(25,982 posts)and how the prior administration fled with $30-40 billion.
Underlined the bipartisan support for Ukraine after & defense against Russia, then contrasted that w/ Trump & Giuliani pivoting to investigate Biden. Looked right in the camera and told Trump to go right ahead and investigate, just don't try to do it through another nation. He was amazing.

(58,785 posts)That was Lt. Col. Vindman immediately pulling out and reading Fiona Hill's July work evaluation of him -- in response to the Repubs' plot to destroy his reputation with lies attributed to Hill and Morrison, including specifically attacking his judgment. (!) But Lt. Col. Vindman's fire demolished them.
That was my favorite moment.

Apparently the House is debating/voting on a CR (government funding ends Thursday) so that may delay or interrupt the next hearing.
