Look at the bright side. That Ukrainian Defense position might still be open. Strong job market out there. The Vindman twins will do fine. When one door closes another opens.
Yeah, they have a lot of faith in the Vindman twins.
“In your deposition you emphasize the importance of chain of command. You were a direct report to Dr. Fiona Hill and then Mr. Tim Morrison and they were your seniors, correct?” Wenstrup asked Vindman, who is currently serving on the NSC staff at the White House.
“That is correct,” the officer answered.
“When you had concerns about the 7/25 call between the two presidents, you didn’t go to Mr. Morrison about that, did you?” Wenstrup asked.
“I immediately went to John Eisenberg, the [NSC’s] lead legal counsel,” Vindman responded.
“That doesn’t seem like chain of command,” the GOP lawmaker said.
Vindman then said he attempted to convey his concerns to Morrison, but was not able to do so.
Wenstrup responded by reading from the officer’s closed-door testimony before the House Intelligence Committee from late last month.
“‘I forwarded my concerns through the chain of command, and the seniors then decide the action to take,'” the congressman said, quoting Vindman.
Wenstrup confirmed again that Vindman had not followed his chain of command: In other words, his earlier testimony was false.
Let’s not forget that Mr. Vindman said in so many words that he was very bothered that Trump did not follow Mr. Vindman’s talking points and that he, Mr Vindman was very bothered with Trump overusing Mr Vindman’s policy preference. Total insubordination. He should not only be fired he should be stripped of his rank and relegated to shining Trump’s shoes.
