    What accolades should be accorded a decorated veteran who offered his personal opinion about something? I offer my opinion 25 times a day and have yet to receive an award.

    What do you mean without proof?

    Guess Who Was In Charge Of Reviewing Bolton's Leaked Book At The NSC?

    The identical twin brother of Democratic impeachment witness Alexander Vindman, Yevgeny Vindman, is reportedly in charge of reviewing all publications by current and former officials at the National Security Council (NSC), according to Breitbart News, which would include the recently leaked manuscript of former National Security adviser John Bolton.

    I don't know what real reason you think he was let go that I would be too embarrassed to admit. Sounds like there is already a good one.

    Or maybe a “new school” Democrat.

    The Democratic Party is headed in that direction.

    Dear leader? As if trump was in any way comparable to Hitler. You know when anyone resorts to words like this it is generally a signal that you wont get much honesty and integrity in the post. Just your typical brainless content corrupted by pathological partisan bias.

    The intent is not reasonable discourse but the opposite. You use forums as places to take a big stinky crap.

    Its like walking down a street in Ca. where the homeless live as you step over and around fly covered piles of human fecal matter.

    No president would retain people who aided in getting him impeached Acting as if any would or should is what is so absurd and pointless.

    He probably did purge them for their testimony. He should have purged all of Obama's appointees right from the start as Obama did with Bush's people. But notice he didn't fire them, he transferred them to other jobs. Did Obama do that or just fired them all?

    Three different reporters got together pulled the story out there collective asses and called it good equals multiple sources in the news speak of the alphabet soup boys and girls. Doesn't matter if it's true or not as long as it makes trump look bad.

    Schiff's Intelligence Committee inquiry was straight out of the Stalin-Beria handbook.

    One of the first things that happen when a coup d'etat starts to fail is many of the second tier participants scatter like the wind.

    I appreciate you writing that post. Because it illustrates the exact method by which unsubstantiated conspiracy theories get started. Just like the ones about the Bidens. Nowhere in your link is any evidence provided that Yevgeny Vindman leaked info from the manuscript to the public. The implication of such is a Trumpian smear job by two right wing media rags. You need to work on not being so easily duped with purposeful disinformation.

    But.........there was no coup. There was a constitutionally protected impeachment process followed by acts of unjustified retribution that go against everything the country stands for...........and is illegal.

    President Donald Trump's abrupt firing of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman appears to cross guarantees that Defense Secretary Mark Esper previously voiced, that vowed protections for whistleblowers.

    In a Friday night segment, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow pointed to a November 2019 tweet from Marcus Weisgerber, an editor at military and defense outlet Defense One, which contained a transcript of an exchange with Esper, where the secretary said there was "no retaliation" allowed under the law against whistleblowers.

    One, that didn't happen. Two, the act of retribution is both illegal and an intentional attempt to send a message to other potential WB's. Which is, don't speak out about unethical/immoral/illegal conduct by anyone in the chain of command or you will be retaliated against.

    So Vindman's a whistleblower now?

    In any case the trial is over. Vindman was not fired. He was just reassigned. Big Whoop.

    Let me ask you this question, and its a question I've asked before but no one ever answered it. Would you keep someone around that you couldn't trust? Or would you want to put distance between you and them?

    If you are serious about that then don't vote for Trump.

    Lil Mike can certainly speak for himself, but you protest to loudly. Lil Mike did not accuse Yevgeny Vindman of leaking the Bolton manuscript to the press. He just said it seemed very very convenient that he was the one deciding that the book could be released as written.

    You also protest too loudly with our generating conspiracy theories about Biden when the stumble bum proudly admitted to "the conspiracy theory" on video. Wasn't a whole lot us conspiracy theorists had to make up.

    Man, so many falsehoods, so little time. One, there is a coup that started in 2016 and has been going on incessantly, albeit not violently, for over three years. Two, the impeachment process was not constitutional. Three, there were no unjustified acts of retribution. Four, none of Trumps actions were illegal. Five, Vindeman is not a whistle blower. That's 5 strike-outs in a row.

    You're getting a well deserved reputation for not admitting to objective reality.

    Vindman’s Ex-Supervisor Says He’s Lost Respect For Lindsey Graham

    When asked to respond to Graham’s comments during a CNN interview Monday, Zwack mocked the Trump ally, saying that “I guess that makes me a card-carrying member of the deep state.” Zwack said that he’s lost respect for Graham.

    “This is ridiculous, okay? … Senator Graham, I’ve always had a lot of respect for you,” Zwack said. “I met you when you was in Afghanistan in 2008, when you arrived with Senator McCain and Joe Lieberman as part of the three amigos. We thought you guys were rock stars. Where are you now, sir?”

    No one in their right mind has any respect for Lindsey. Geesh, what a shill.

    Graham is the same person he was in 2008. I suspect that Zwack is the one who has changed.
