    I'm just astonished that left-wingers are putting all their chips on Vindman.

    His testimony has more holes in it than Bonnie and Clyde's car and is based on nothing more than personal interpretation and opinion.

    And his lawyer needs to recuse himself from this process for his outspoken anti-Trump rants over the years.

    Also, LTC Hickman's claims about Vindman trashing the US when speaking to Russian officers, brings Vindman's credibility into question.

    Right wing opinion piece rushes to defense of Trump's ****ery and persecutes an accomplished career military officer.

    Filling a uniform doesn't make one accomplished, did you miss the OP? Benedict Arnold wore a uniform. Vindman admitted his objection to the phone call was based on disagreement on policy issues, not legal ones.

    Vindman undermined the office of the Presidency by telling Ukraine to ignore the President. That in of itself is sedition.

    Do you feel it? Slip sliding away.. Might want to brace yourself for yet another fail or do the left consider even trying as a win, with a plastic trophy and after game party at Chucky Cheese reward?

    Trump fans are pulling out all the stops to attack a career military man. Bravo. Never let truth and integrity stand in the way of defending a immoral idiot.

    I guess name calling is easier than having a fact based discussion. Your angst at the impeachment farce melting down is palpable.

    Do you think I am on the left because I don’t bob the knob of Trump?

    I have some breaking news. Folks all over the political spectrum don’t care for the president

    Not all "career military" men are traitors like Vindman.

    General Flynn thanks you for your concern about his being railroaded into a confession with falsified FBI records.

    Is being a military offer some kind of shield?

    Career military man stood up and told the truth. Seditious, villainous, treasonous Trump fans impugn the man nonstop for.....having a shred of ****ing honor, that missing within their own idol.

    No, he stood up and advised a foreign country on how to circumvent his commander in chief.

    Give us some more feelings in your next list though.

    How dare you impugn the integrity of a decorated military man.

    It was more of a mockery of hypocrisy with a dash of sarcasm.
