Another Day of the Impeachment Hoax By John C. Velisek USN Ret, on November 18th, 2019


Another Day of the Impeachment Hoax


Tomorrow is another day of half-truths and outright lies being pushed by the media under the guise of an impeachment inquiry. It will bring forth morsels of outrage from the progressive socialist Democrats and more sanctimony from pencil neck Adam Schiff.

The questions for Lt. ColVindman

One of those testifying tomorrow is Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. Vindman is the top Ukraine official on the White House National Security Council. He was responsible for the rough transcript of the Trump-Zelensky call that was given to reporters of a summary of the call sent to reporters in April. In that summary, it was said by Vindman that it included  President Trumps’ “unwavering support of the United States for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and expressed a commitment to work with President-Elect Zelensky and the Ukrainian people to implement reforms. It documents that President Trump would send a very high-level representative to attend Zelensky’s inauguration. The transcript left out President Trump promising to work with Ukraine to strengthen democracy, increase prosperity, and root out corruption.

Did Lt. Col. Vindman Lie About the July 25th  Phone Call?

This phone call took place many months before the so-called problematic phone call of July 25th.

Why there was no mention of the April phone call when Vindman testified in a closed-door hearing has not been answered, along with an explanation of the statement about President Trump promising to help President Zelensky root out corruption that was not mentioned.

Lt. Col. Vindman has stated during the closed-door sessions and selectively leaked by pencil neck Schiff to the media that parts of the call , which he then attempted to correct. In those corrections, Vindman declared that demands were being made on the Ukraine government to open investigations that he perceived would help President Trump.  He said that he shared his opinions with his superiors.

It was Vindmans’ perception that the discussion about the corruption of Hunter Biden being paid by Burisma and Joe Bidens forcing the firing of the prosecutor in Ukraine that was investigating his son, was improper. And that an in-depth investigation of the 2016 election meddling of Ukraine partisans in favor of the Hillary campaign was improper. He used his position of being a so-called expert on Ukraine to declare that these actions would harm national security.

Should Lt. Col. Vindman Faces Charges?

This testimony does not provide any clarification of what the progressive socialist Democrats call an impeachable offense and doesn’t even advance the lies they put forth about Trump pressuring Ukraine. When asked about the demand that Ukraine investigates a U.S. citizen as Vindman put forth, Lt.Col. Vindman could not substantiate this claim. Of course, pencil neck Schiff did not leak THAT to the media.

What Vindmans testimony does include is the statement that Vindman leaked classified information about the call to several other people, a violation of federal statute 18 USC 798. Also covered by the law is Vindmans’ unsuccessful attempt to try and alter the transcript. As a military officer, Vindman is also subject to Artiles 92 and 88. If this is proven to be accurate, Vindman is the one that is guilty of crimes punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. These leaks were not authorized, making them unethical, illegal, and criminal. Even going further, Vindman coordinated with both Ciaramella ( the reported informant/whistleblower) and pencil neck Adam Schiff members Abigal Grace and Sean Misko. This is just another violation of the “whistleblower” statute. If not resolved in the House, this should be one of the first agenda of the Senate.

President Zelensky, who is in a far better position to interpret the discussion than Vindman said there was no pressure, and at the time, did not realize that the military assistance which the leftists say was used to blackmail Ukraine was held up. To be released after the President and his advisors agreed would be used appropriately.

NSC Director Tim Morrison Refutes Vindman’s Opinions

Tim Morrison, the NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison, who was on the phone call as well, said during testimony that he didn’t have concerns that “anything illegal was discussed during the phone call.

It can now be said that this impeachment is a policy issue coupled with the Progressive socialists deep disdain for anything that President Trump may do. Much like the Russian hoax that consumed three years of the President, this faux impeachment will be drawn out for maximum use by the leftists and the media in an attempt to harm the President.

The Deep State of foreign policy and national security bureaucrats are on the mind that they set the policies, and the President is expected to follow them. They have stepped out to delegitimize  President Trump for re-election to return to the policies of these career politicians and continue the money flow they had set up to enrich themselves.

In this time of President Trump setting policies on both the national security and foreign policy, the roles have been thrown away. Even the Washington Post, one of the most rabid anti-Trump, cynical rags ever published an article saying, in essence, that President Trump has no right to disagree with the kleptocrats in our federal bureaucracy.

The taxpayer funding of the policies of those who oppose Trump must go on the keep the money flowing. No questions must be asked, no changes made, and there should be no consideration of what the Deep State policies put on the American people. The Washington Post, The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC are all of the same opinions.

The Washington Post even claimed in a story that Vindman was “deeply troubled by what he interpreted as an attempt by the President to subvert U.S. foreign policy.” As Fox News Brit Hume replied, “ There is a huge fallacy in this. Anyone know what it is?” Our mainstream media continually attempts to convince the American people that President Trump is an idiot who should not be given the responsibility to interact with foreign powers. The integrity and ethics of our mainstream media is woefully gone in their zeal to push the progressive socialist agenda on the citizens of this country.

Vindman in Germany

U.S. Army Lt. Colonel  Jim Hickman served with Vindman in Grafenwoher, Germany, and was put in the position of verbally reprimanding Vindman after he heard derisive remarks by Vindman ridiculing Americans in front of Russian military officers. He also heard Vindman “talking up” Obama in the words of a political activist rather than an officer in the American military. I can tell you, as someone not of such a high position in the military if I had done that, it would take about two days to find myself stateside and out of uniform.

Lt. Colonel Hickman’s former boss at the Joint Multinational Simulation Center corroborated the Hickman statement. Lt. Colonel Hickman stated that Vindman “ made the testimony about his foreign policy opinions and not the President’s facts and wore his Army uniform to make a political statement.” Hickman also stated that Vindman showed that he was, since 2013 at least, a progressive partisan socialist who was born in Ukraine. During his time in Germany, he ridiculed American culture, spoke of Americans not being educated or worldly, spoke glowingly of Obama and globalism, according to Hickman.

The Deep State efforts to try and delegitimize President Trump and to overturn the 2016 duly elected President that the American people voted into office, will fail.  The American people understand that the legitimacy of foreign policy decisions rests with the President. And with a declaration of war, the legislative branch controls the purse strings. The legislature is also responsible for directing funding to the various agencies for foreign policy and national security.

Now being a career military veteran myself, I understand that rank is important, and becoming a Lt. Col. such as Vindman is impressive. What Vindman needs to realize is that he is nothing more than a cog in the wheel to do the President’s bidding. If he feels he cannot do that, he is free to resign and leave for a position more suited to his ego and high opinion of himself. It does not give him the right to assume that he can make foreign policy. Nor does he, or any other high ranking official, have the authority to tell those working for him to ignore the policies of the American President. That is the same for either party.  Lt. Col. Vindman has neither the authority or the right to undermine the foreign and military policies of the President.

Testimony Tomorrow

The testimony that he will give tomorrow must be scrutinized very closely. In his closed-door testimony, he admitted that nothing that was said on the July 25th phone call was illegal, but that President Trump went outside the “interagency consensus” and was unproductive. The American people need to ponder that for a moment and consider who they feel should make foreign policy and national security decisions for our country.

There are many questions that Lt. Col. Vindman should be required to answer. Let’s see how many pencil neck Schiff will allow.
