Vindman's Motivation
Posted on 10/29/19 at 4:52 pm
Posted on 10/29/19 at 4:52 pm
Was discussing Vindman's testimony with a few friends and whether or not he violated the UCMJ (particularly Article 134, Section 2-b if you're interested) when one of them who is now up at the puzzle palace pointed out something interesting.
Yorktown Solutions: Original FARA Filing
Yorktown Solutions is a lobbying firm that represents some questionable Ukrainian arms companies and the Ukrainian Oil and Gas industry, interested in undermining the Nordstream 2 Project. Kiev Post
Daniel Vajdich is listed as the registered agent for the lobbying firm Yorktown Solutions. He just so happens to be a member of the Atlantic Council. The same Atlantic Council Burisma donates heavily to and welcomed Volker, now a Senior Advisor, after he resigned. (Which opens a whole other can of worms regarding his meeting with Burisma board members at the Atlantic Council Event.)
I digress... it gets really interesting when we look at Yorktown's Supplemental filings:
Yorktown: Supplemental FARA Filing
On what appears to be their first day of U.S. operations, Vindman received his first email from Yorktown, he then met with them in March, and is listed as corresponding with Yorktown Solutions through email every few weeks since. Important to note, March of 2019 is also when Lutsenko began making allegations against Biden per WAPO's timeline.
As I understand it, the next round of filings will not be until this December. It'd be interesting to know if the communication between Yorktown and Vindman increases over that time frame. Now, is it feasible that a Lobbyist group working for arms companies in the Ukraine would meet with someone on the National Security Council? Sure! What is suspicious though is the motive that can be inferred based on the group's meetings with "Never Trump" journalists.
For example: On May 8th, they had a meeting with Paul Sonne from the Washington Post. Three days later, his article is published: Trump's Interest in Stirring Ukraine Investigation Sows Confusion in Kiev. Mind you, this is three months before the President's call and nearly six months prior to the whistleblower.
Something about the whole thing just seems a bit too... convenient.

The hiring comes after muckraking investigations into corruption and illegal arms trading at Ukroboronprom. In Ukrinmash’s case, Amnesty International published a report alleging that the company had illegally supplied small arms and mortars to South Sudan, which is under a U.N. embargo.

His motivation, like most in Washington, is undying loyalty and devotion to the establishment and D.C. institutions. Anyone who is a threat must be removed and if that means lying and making shite up so be it

Vindman is a Ukrainian American.

I'd like to know what is so special about the Ukraine that soooooo many people are sooooo involved and wanting to wet their beaks. I've been there once. It's a crappy country, flat farmland . Kiev is OK...it's old. The corruption is off the charts from what I can remember. I mean they have deposits of natural gas, but it's not all that.....they rank about 28-30 in reserves.......I guess the skim is so much easier there? Or maybe they are priming the place for NATO membership eventually.....and you wonder why Russia gets antagonistic towards the West?

New witness identified. New testimony harmful to Trump. Trumpers jump through hoops using 5 degrees of separation creating conspiracy theories to attack the decorated serviceman who testified.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Haven’t seen this discussed anywhere: the NYT reported that Vindman had advised Ukrainian officials on how to “deal with” Rudy. How often do US army colonels advise foreign governments?

You are reaching.

My thoughts, He listened in on the call and said this a-hole (Trump) is going to frick everyone in Washington out of our ability to hand out money at will on both sides. He was told (IF YOU SEE OR HEAR SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING), just like all the other good ole boys up in Washington were told to do.

There is a really simple explanation for this.. the whistleblower was right

quote:Did you read the article? Giuliani was already reaching out to start an investigation into the Bidens and the DNC server. Rudy was very loud about it and people and businesses in the Ukraine were reaching out to US officials to ask how they should deal with Rudy, including Zelensky.
For example: On May 8th, they had a meeting with Paul Sonne from the Washington Post. Three days later, his article is published: Trump's Interest in Stirring Ukraine Investigation Sows Confusion in Kiev.

Your article is part of the evidence against Trump.
