Molly Hemingway: 'Vindman, Not Whistleblower, Was Driving Force Behind Impeachment'
|
 [The Federalist] The most interesting thing about Byron York’s exhaustively reported and richly detailed new impeachment book, "Obsession: Inside the Washington Establishment’s Never-Ending War on Trump," is that the whistleblower who filed the official complaint that got impeachment rolling isn’t ever identified.
It turns out that the heated discussion over the whistleblower, who was previously identified by Real Clear Investigations as the CIA’s Eric Ciaramella, was a diversion from allowing the American people to understand who was the actual instigator of the failed effort to oust President Donald Trump from office.
Rather than being a witness who independently supported the claims of the whistleblower, the National Security Council’s Lt. Col Alex Vindman was the driving force behind the entire operation, according to the book’s interviews with key figures in the impeachment probe and other evidence. The whistleblower’s information came directly from Vindman, investigators determined.
"Vindman was the person on the call who went to the whistleblower after the call, to give the whistleblower the information he needed to file his complaint," said Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y.
"For all intents and purposes, Vindman is the whistleblower here, but he was able to get somebody else to do his dirty work for him," explained one senior congressional aide.
Vindman was the only person at the National Security Council (NSC) listening in on the infamous call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to be concerned by it. Vindman immediately began talking to his identical twin brother Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, who also worked at the NSC. The twins both complained to NSC Counsel John Eisenberg. Alex Vindman talked about it with his direct supervisor Tim Morrison, who was also on the call. He talked about it with another NSC lawyer, Michael Ellis.
