Lt. Col Sausage = Another liar: Transcripts show Vindman, too, said one thing in public and another thing under oath

[American Thinker] Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the insufferably pompous impeachment witness against President Trump who was billed as Mr. Straight-Arrow, and wore his medalled military uniform to congressional hearings to get the point across, has been, like former Defense department official Evelyn Farkas, caught declaring one thing for the cameras, and another thing in secret testimony under penalty of perjury.

#1 "Mr. Straight Arrow" ....yes of course, straight out of Klingon central casting. Alex, be sure to wear your uniform. You do still have it right? If not, or the jacket no longer fits, please get over to Belvoir and get a new one. You must appear in uniform.

#4 Does testifying before Congress provide these lying bastards with immunity from prosecution for perjury?

#7 Why do you think the demoncrats had the secret testimony of all these people?

Pledging to testify truthfully to a dem run congressional committee? A mere formality...

#10 Wouldn't doing that be considered a court marshal offense? I'm pretty sure lying to the public for personal gain in the military is fairly big nono.

#11 If I said how I felt about this POS, TW would delete it and send me a "Dear Pan" note. He embarrassed the officer corps and he set back the trust between agencies 20 years.

#12 /\ You are not alone. My guess is he left the Army many years ago.

#13 He was promoted to the rank of major in 2008,and to lieutenant colonel in September 2015. Wikipedia says he's still in the Army, but Beginning in 2008, Vindman became a Foreign Area Officer specializing in Eurasia.

#14 Wearing that C.I.B. pisses a lot of grunts off.

#15 Ref #13: Yes, he became a Foreign Area Officer or FAO. Working out of US Embassies, wearing civilian attire, carrying a black passport (official cover). He'd been "sheep dipped"...no longer part of the big green army.

#16 RE: CIB - You need to be assigned to an infantry unit, performing duties of an infantry billet, and come under fire.

You can be sitting at a desk on your FOB and get it because the bad guys fired in a rocket or mortar round near you, as long as you are an infantryman assigned to an infantry unit in a combat zone.

He got his purple heart from an IED that hit his convoy at the beginning of his only deployment, which would also account for the CIB. His wound was minor enough that he served 11 more months in Iraq after being wounded.

his testimony boiled down to the fact that he didn’t like the President actually making foreign policy decisions and that his panties were in a wad because the President ignored his advice. He offered nothing of value as far as an impeachable offenses go and really had no first hand knowledge of anything.

What Vindman did do was illegally share information classified at a very high level with Eric Ciaramella.

Vindman was insubordinate, ignored chain of command, leaked, and lied to Congress about not knowing who the whistleblower is, when he clearly knew because he was the whistleblower's primary source.

Courts martial should be convened on him: UCMJ Articles 90, 92, 133 and 134 are a good start.
