There goes that whole tRump defense.

Wow!

1. K&R, MAGA Suckers will now claim Vidman is Clinton's brother ... they have nothing.

[bitterross]

3. Yep, they will claim he's not a loyal military professional

They will continue to smear him. No doubt about that.

[kwijybo]

7. They already have been trying to test him down

The RWNJ's have been going on that he's a spy, not loyal (gasp! He wasn't born here), shouldn't even be a soldier because (gasp) he looks overweight.

[bitterross]

21. They never learned the lesson from Nuermberg.

Vindman is doing what so many soldiers didn't have the courage to do under the despot Hitler. He's a man who believes in his oath to the Constitution and knows illegal orders when he sees them. He knows Trump is a want-to-be despot and he knows when that despot does illegal things.

..to be added after the fact..yet, Lt. Col. Vidman mentioned that is standard procedure on readouts is a standard statement of foreign policy yet he iterated that odious traitor in WH [my moniker for guy in WH] never mentioned corruption in any of two calls in question. They've got nada!

[lastlib]

13. AND it appears to be FALSIFYING evidence!!

Another crime , another basis for impeachment, if they want to push it.

25. Adding it after the fact is like drawing on a hurricane chart with a Sharpie.

If you don't like the facts, change the facts.

It's the Trump approach to of life.

Fat Donnie probably paid (or promised to pay--they're still waiting for their money) someone to alter Eric's birth certificate to eliminate his name as father.

4. Toobin says ReTHUG talking points were destroyed like crystals

disintegrating

[True Blue American]

5. And Williams outed Pence!

[malaise]

6. Yep

John Dean says ReTHUGs failed this morning

[rocktivity]

32. That's SNOWFLAKES disintergrating to YOU!

34. LOL

8. Vindman is The Closer.

[volstork]

15. Get that man

a cup of coffee.

[ReformedGOPer]

26. I very much admire him.

[volstork]

27. A TRUE

patriot.

[Major Nikon]

9. Hey, hey, wait just a gal-darned minute here

The corruption theme was implied, even though Trump never once spoke of it which is totally different than the fake implied "quid-pro-quo" which was spoken about numerous times previously, given with a wink and a nod during the phone call, made a foreign policy priority by Trump himself, and even insured by his personal lawyer circumventing the entire State Department and palling around with the Ukrainian mafia who was working on behalf of the Russian mafia.

10. So much pontificating.

The witnesses just need to continue to ask,...

* Is there a question in there somewhere?

* What's you're point?

* I don't understand fast paced gibberish. Could you slow down and speak English?

They preach more than anything!

[Caliman73]

12. That is all they have.

There is the old legal proverb:

"If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither on your side, pound the table."

Republicans pound the table because they have neither facts, nor the law on their side.

20. Gym's been yammering on and on about Mueller etc.

He doesn't understand, that for sane people, Trump's Ukraine behavior on Putin's behalf, proves that Mueller was absolutely understating the threat Trump poses.

[crickets]

23. Exactly. nt

[Pepsidog]

11. Trump is known for having a notoriously short attention span except when it comes to bribery,

extortion and other mafioso like shake downs. He pursues these fake Ukrainian conspiracy theories like a rabid dog.

[LiberalFighter]

18. You forgot young girls.

[Pepsidog]

22. Yes that as well.

[B Stieg]

14. This Vindman guy just can't stop...

being heroic in the name of his country and Constitution.
We need more like him...

[ancianita]

16. We have them. They turn up when we need them. We have to make government

work like it's supposed to, so that we don't need them.

This is a burdensome war of fascist insurgency against democracy, and our State Dept and Intel, full of great Americans, meet the call.

But we should never again allow bad government so often that it's their constant burden to come forward and make it right.

[B Stieg]

17. Well said! Thanks!

[B Stieg]

19. "Right matters here."

STILL.

[crickets]

24. That was my favorite moment. Gave me chills. nt

[calimary]

28. He was pretty wonderful.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. Fighting corruption with corruption

Extortion and Bribery are obviously kinds of corruption, with Bribery even mentioned in the Constitution.

But we are told by tRump's defenders we should believe that he is fighting corruption around the world by extorting with taxpayer funded military aid and bribing with a meeting in the Oval Office.

It's that nonsensical.

30. k&r

31. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

33. I read where Vindman needs security protection now

because of the death threats.
