Schiff’s star witness, Col. Vindman, listened to “the” telephone call and confessed that he’d shared it with others. He, seemingly, likes to speak first and think later; because, he also admitted that he tried to, unsuccessfully, tamper with its transcript. Dumb da dum dum dummmmm. When Representative Jim Jordan asked who were the “others”, Schiff closed-down proceedings, refusing to let the witness answer a Republican’s question. 18 USC 798 prohibits leaking information of conversations between our president and leaders of foreign governments. The “others” would have to be on a need-to-know status.
Vindman, who was born in the Ukraine, has strong ties to Michael McFaul, who, with absolutely no experience, was appointed as US Ambassador to Russia by Obama. McFaul is the guy who initiated attacks on Rudy Giuliani for investigating Ukraine’s involvement with the phony Trump/Russia concoction. Earlier this year, McFaul testified before a congressional foreign services committee. Coincidentally, Natalia Veslnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, was sitting directly behind him. Natalia is the woman who mysteriously appeared at the much-scrutinized Don Jr. Trump Tower meeting. She met with Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS) before and after that meeting.
At some point, in the early days of the attempted anti-Trump coup; Vindman, Simpson, McFaul and Christopher Steele (employed by Simpson) ended-up together in Eurasia, culminating in the birth of the fake Russia-Russia-Russia dossier. That initial coup attempt didn’t take down Trump; so, now, Schiff, Pelosi, Schumer and their minions are inventing a sequel. Casting the same characters and feeding off the same dramatics, it’s now called Ukraine-Ukraine-Ukraine.
Directed by Obama?……We’ll have to watch the closing credits to find out.
