Vindman: Leaker To The Whistleblower To Be Booted From National Security Council

In what can only be described as the most vitriolic, unpatriotic exercise in reversing the results of the 2016 Presidential Election and removing President Trump from the 2020 ballot, one player who gave testimony before the House Intelligence Committee during the President’s impeachment inquiry will be dismissed from the National Security Council (NSC).

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman leaked information from the President’s July 25, 2019 phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the whistleblower.

Adam Schiff called Vindman a patriot. “Colonel Vindman, we have seen far more scurrilous attacks on your character and watched as certain personalities on Fox have questioned your loyalty. I note that you have shed blood for America, and we owe you an immense debt of gratitude. I hope no one on this Committee will become part of those vicious attacks.”

Whether you agree with Schiff’s statement hinges upon whether you believe Vindman acted dutifully or mutinously.  I believe the term to be highly ill-fitting.  Now, before you decide to chastise me for my opinion, I would ask you to consider this:  throughout this blog I take every opportunity to praise our service members, laud their patriotism and profusely thank them for standing guard over our liberty.  I will never extend my praise to a worm who vomits mutiny over a policy disagreement.

Remember also that Lead Republican Counsel Steve Castor revealed a disturbing fact during his line of questioning of Vindman.  He had been offered a job as Ukrainian Defense Minister by the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council Oleksandr Danylyuk.
“For the Ukrainians—President Zelensky, Mr. Danylyuk—to bestow that honor on you, at least asking you, that was a big honor, correct?” Vindman said that Danylyuk had suggested he take the job three times.

Finally, the President can begin to clean out the viper's nest in the NSC.  I hope Vindman and his brother both have their security clearances revoked.
