re: Who is Vindman and what did he do?

quote:

---

Rightly or wrongly, he was concerned about the propriety of certain elements of that call, and he reported those concerns to his superiors at the NSC.

He avoided expressing his concerns to his direct superior, (who was "unavailable") implying he did so because his concerns were so immediate and worrisome they compelled him to see the lawyer. So he went outside chain of command.

I think the conflict you note between a subpoena and an order from the C in C is a calculation of the Committee. Intentionally straining the C in C's authority and expanding dangerously Congress's. What may be a valid exercise of Congressional power now will be used as precedent and leverage in other instances less valid or warranted. I doubt the President or his advisers desire to force the issue with LTC Vindman's testimony.

Mr. Schiff will not ever allow you to find out what crimes or improprieties LTC Vindman is involved. All under the catch all of "protecting" the whistleblower. It seems likely he and the whistleblower have both actively conspired with the Committee, its chairman, and Democrat staffers to advance the impeachment narrative.

We can know all the people LTC Vindman spoke with except one? Why? Did he speak with this mystery person before or after the attorney told him not to speak with anyone else about the matter?

Vindman is a career officer who had an inflated sense of his importance and authority. He had a reputation for being the kind of person who lacked judgment and broke chain of command. He was not a compelling witness.
