Vindman says he relayed "certain concerns" to national security officials internally "in accordance with my decades of experience and training, sense of duty, and obligation to cooperate within the chain of command."
Vindman also says he believed if Ukraine actually pursued an investigation into the Biden family and Burisma, as Trump suggested it did, Ukraine would lose bipartisan support, which would in turn "undermine all U.S. national security."
Former Defense Department and CIA chief of staff Jeremy Bash blasted a segment on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle as “absolutely despicable,” after host Laura Ingraham and her guest, legal professor John Yoo strongly suggested a Trump national security official, Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, could be guilty of “espionage” after news broke that he plans to testify to Congress that he objected to improper White House political influence toward Ukraine.
Did he actually hear the phone call or only hear of it 2nd or 3rd hand?
It makes a difference.
If he's the whistle blower he could be charged with leaking secret information.
1) First hand, was on call
2) States he is NOT the whistle blower
3) Perhaps can fill the gaps that were missing in the transcript. The transcript from the White house had several ellipses (the …) in the transcript but we wont know until the transcript of this deposition is released.
We will see what comes out of it, his opening statement is available online where he states he on the actual call.
