[Breitbart] Elon Musk, co-head of President-Elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, told Alexander Vindman, who sparked the first impeachment of Trump, that he “committed treason” and “will pay,” after Vindman accused him of being controlled by Russian President Vladimir Putin and a “national security threat.”
Vindman smeared Musk during an interview on MSNBC on Wednesday, saying:
Clearly, Putin has a type. He likes narcissists and egomaniacs that he knows as a case officer he could easily pander to and manipulate to do his dirty work. We are under attack. Russia has been using different levers, whether that’s corruption networks. In this case, it’s it’s influencers like Donald Trump, like Elon Musk, to really kind of sow discord, and it’s particularly troubling with Elon Musk in this case, because Elon Musk has access to state secrets. He has top secret security clearance. It’s possible that some of that is seeping through. Putin has been very effective in playing both Trump and Elon, and he’s been using the richest man in the world to do his bidding in this. In some cases, that’s encouraging him probably to support Donald Trump. That’s not speculation. We see how far in Elon is gone, and then using Twitter as a distance disinformation platform. So this is not some sort of far off distant threat, this is a, it’s going to impact our elections, it’s a national security threat.
Musk responded Wednesday, “Vindman is on the payroll of Ukrainian oligarchs and has committed treason against the United States, for which he will pay the appropriate penalty.”
| I’m not sure about treason, always a difficult charge, but the man absolutely is guilty of gross insubordination as a military officer. I vote for a fair court martial, followed by reduction in rank and a dishonourable discharge. Any jail term deemed appropriate by the court would not go amiss, but may be overkill — I know nothing about such things. |
