[Red State] LTC Alexander Vindman, USA, now retired, burst onto the national scene in October of 2019 when he testified before Congress as part of the Democrats’ orchestrated effort to impeach President Trump on abuse of power charges. A window into his ego and narcissism was evinced when he admitted during that testimony that he was offered the position of defense minister of Ukraine three times, as reported here. He was being played and corrupted by the Ukrainians in order to influence US policy toward Ukraine. This "flattery" amounted to bribery that should have gotten him court-martialed for corruption and doing favors for a foreign government — as well as not officially reporting the attempted bribery to his superiors, particularly in view of his extremely sensitive position on the NSC staff.
His credibility was subsequently shredded during public testimony in November 2019 by congressional Republicans, and after President Trump was acquitted by the Senate, Vindman was eventually fired from his position at the National Security Council and escorted out of the White House with his twin brother in February 2020, as reported here.
Vindman’s conduct and testimony through the impeachment process have been widely reported by many former military personnel (myself included) as having been reprehensible and probably seditious. He is a typical overweight, rear-echelon staff puke who picked up a Purple Heart from a roadside IED that hit his vehicle. A loathsome creature. The Army should recall him to active duty, convene an Article 32 investigation, and select members to conduct his general court-martial. |
