You should clarify that this "reporting" is largely done by a left/liberal owned/slanted press, and almost uniformly despises Trump and roots for his impeachment daily.

That is important to note, based on your links.

Now we know.

A Classified Call at that. He should be Court Martial.
Lt. Col. Vindman has more integrity in his pinkie than you have over the course of your lifetime. Just stop.

I've never gotten around to reading the WB Complaint so offhand I don't know how it was structured - how many individuals the WB spoke with but I believe was several. And numerous individuals appears to have found the call inappropriate - albeit with only one filing a Complaint.

Again, this isn't to deny that Vindman contact may well be the whistleblower. Rather going down the "perjury" road using nonsensical reasoning for every single witness becomes tiresome.
Perjury is hard to prove in the most obvious cases, so no, there won't be perjury charges based on what he refused to disclose.

IIRC, The Blower's complaint was based on info he claimed to receive from six or more people. Of course Vindman was one of them. No doubt others are among the group testifying.

Actually, he was. He asked Zalensky to work with AG Barr.

July 3rd


July 18th


August 25


Sept 9th


Sept 11th

So Trump DID put a hold on aid and only released it AFTER the investigation started and he knew that he was going to get caught trying to us aid money to bribe a foreign president to open a case into his political rival.
You have no idea " what he knew" . You can't read minds.

" he was going to get caught"

Doing what, holding up the aid which he is legally entitled to do as the POTUS ?

" bribe " ? How can some one be bribed for something they have and nothing was returned in due course?

It doesn't make sense.

None of it makes sense. Opinions, policies, speculation innuendo....


Nothing here folks.

You are an extremely poor judge of character, and have contributed nothing to this discussion.

Why were these witnesses so upset over a temporary delay in military aid to Ukraine by Trump yet it didn't faze them when Obama denied military aid?


Strange that these witnesses who consider themselves experts on Ukraine had no idea Biden got the prosecutor fired for investigating his son.

Vindman - if he does not know the name of the whistle-blower - and since Schiff has said he also does not, what is the problem with identifying the people that Vindman spoke with?

Are you kidding me? The evidence is right there in the testimony staring you in the dang face!!!

Rush Limbaugh has great information that isn't censored. He's on now.

You should clarify that you are speaking from a biased and unfounded fantasy perspective with no evidence that the reporting is inaccurate.
