Yes, we are to believe that a lt/col cannot distinguish between and favor and a demand. My god, seriously??

My first impression of this guy this morning was that he was a dishonest climber with ambitions beyond his current post. My comment was that I had known guys like him and would not trust them behind me in any type of action. And make no mistake, this MoFo knows what the difference is between a favor and a demand. I am sure it was Schiff who gave him the excuse that in the military, no matter how nicely stated, it is a demand. How stupid! Certainly not where I served!

I believe, as do a lot of folks now, that Vindman was the source of the whistle blower complaint. Guys like this brag a lot, like Joe, and I can see him getting all over this "inappropriate" conversation with the eventual whistle blower. He's obviously a Trump hater. His expressions and his body language scream it to high heaven. I instantly picked up on the demon inside him. It truly gave me the chills this morning.

We can only speculate how Schiff got involved in all of this but he certainly knows who the whistle blower is and I can guarantee you, Schiff and Vindman have spoken prior to this morning and probably many other times on private lines.

But make no mistake, Vindman's lies to the whistle blower started this entire thing. I would imagine that if the whistle blower had actually seen the transcript of the call before listening to Vindman and making the complaint, that the whistle blower would not have made the complaint. He certainly HAD better hide his identity. Legally, he would be on the hook for slander and making a false complaint of the highest order; fraud of the congress and the entire USA.

And don't go counting out Pelosi as a major player in all this. She knows everything Schiff does.

When the entire democrat saga comes out, they will be lucky to still be a party. And don't think there are not at least a few repugs involved in this. And look out Obama, just look out.

Sometimes, when a stone is turned over, what they find unexpectedly leads to two or three new trails that need to be followed -- more people than previously known to be involved in something or a surprise series of text messages or emails, maybe they discover that subject A took a quiet one day trip to see subject C and it turns out that subject B also attended the meeting when he had previously testified he was someplace else. Lots of stuff can expand the time frame of an investigation.

The bright side of all that is that it usually doesn't bode well for the primary subjects of the investigation.

Wow so every Career official who testified is also lying. Don’t you understand these people risk there careers to go up against the most powerful man in the world that is running a corrupt administration.

Answer a simple question if the Alt. col Vindman is lying then let Bolton/Mulvaney/Pompeo/ Giuliani/and Perry raise there right hand and testify

(WHY IS TRUMP BLOCKING THE TESTIMONY OF THESE 5 MEN. THEY WERE AT THE CENTER OF THE UKRAINE SCANDAL TRUMP HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR THIS UP BY LETTING HIS ADVISORS GO INTO THIS HEARING AND DISPUTE THE TESTIMONY OF THESE CAREER OFFICIALS) (WHY IS THAT) Can’t get an answer from any Trump supporter.

Why is Trump using old propaganda started by Russia that it was the Ukraine that hacked the DNC. While our CIA, FBI, and all 17 Intel agencies say it was Russia. Still Trump supporters can’t answer.

Sondland just testified that there was a Quid Pro Quo Mulvaney/Giuliani/Pompeo/ and Perry were all in the loop under the express direction of Trump. So with all the testimony over the last week it has all come together. Trump did commit a Quid Pro Quo.

So good luck GOP the destruction of the Republican Party will commence. You will maintain your support in the racist hate filled south that knows nothing but hate and hypocritical Evangelicals a one issue voter intimidation Abortion.

If I had my way they would all testify, but apparently they are waiting to see if it gets to the senate. To you, why doesn't Schiff admit that he knows the whistle blower? We know that would preclude him directing these inquisitions, don't we. Of course then, he would have to answer questions about how he might have directed the whistle blower, am I right?? Do you think Schiff is just holding off until it gets to the senate??

Tell me AFO, do YOU know the difference between a favor and a demand?

And by the way, Sondland, with his failing and then returning memory, is about as good a witness as Cohen was. He has definitely now lied to the congressional committee, has he not??
