PS so based on the disgusting Vindman smear campaign - I can’t WAIT for LTC Vindman & Dr Hill’s Depo Transcripts to be eminently released.

It hasn’t been released but here’s an open DC secret...procedurally the Chairs upload to this repository (sometimes before) it’s uploaded to the HPSCI website
docs.house.gov/Committee/Comm…

Save the Date Next week will be Super interesting
pub typically a witness’ statements are uploaded 24 hours in advance of the hearing.
But we kind of know what to expect BUT do not underestimate the value of live in-person testimony

Here we GO - Dr Fiona Hill Transcript

LTC Vindman “crib sheet” aka highlights of his depo
am unaware of any factual basis for the accusations against Ambassador Yovanovitch...unaware of any authoritative basis for Ukrainian interference in 2016 elections, based on my knowledge”
Pgs 4+ bonkers

Dr Hill’s Depo crib sheet
Mulvaney Sondland & Volker are All FUBAR like forked
Sondland “blurted out” that “we have an agreement with the Chief of Staff for a meeting if these investigations in the energy sector start.” (Page 65, 67-68)
MOTHER FUCKERS

So @RudyGiuliani you still holding on the that promise of a pardon?
ProTip you traitor-tot-trash-panda
1) accepting a pardon mean you’re guilty
2) a PARDON CAN’T BE USED TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE
you are a POS - seriously i have zero sympathy for you & your ilk

@RudyGiuliani This is IMPORTANT 👇🏻

Ltc Vindman re $400M+ in aid: “..amounts to about 10% of their [current] military budget ...GDP because the Ukrainians spent 5-6% their GDP...fighting an active conflict against the Russians...”

That PUTS THE AID into much BETTER CONTEXT

@RudyGiuliani I could be wrong - I believe Ltc Vindman is the only witness that addresses the totality and magnitude of Trump/Mulvaney/Sondland/Volker/Giuliani vile decision to freeze the aide
OUR AID represented 10% of UKRAINE’s Military Budget
I AM
SHIVERING
WITH
RAGE

@RudyGiuliani Of this wasn’t so serious to our Country’s Global Standing, our current Alliances and to our Nat Sec - I would laugh
-ps Congress needs to ask @USAmbEU
At WHO’S DIRECTION did you convey the “deliverable”?
How many Ex Parte meetings (sans NSC) did you have with Mulvaney?

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU Mr “Order of Ineptitude” Kash Patel helped to cut Vindman OUT or Ukraine matters
BOOM 👉🏻Dr Hill alerted others that KASH PATEL was FALSLY representing to other NCS members that he was the Dir of Ukraine Matters
Pgs 169,170 & 222 -224

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch Flashback in the Summer of 2017 “Kash” Patel & Doug Presley BOTH Nunes staffers traveled to the UK to “stalk” Chris Steele

See 2017 HPSCI Foreign Travel Report

FFW to 2019 Patel misrepresented himself to cut Vindman out

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch Mother of GOD... Dr Hill’s Depo re Kash Patel - bad

“I did warn my office to be very careful about communications with Kash Patel until we figured out why it was that he was sending..clearly materials on Ukraine over ...[to the White House]...”

x.com/File411/status…

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch Hey @SenRonJohnson you have some serious explaining to do.
Quick question did Kash Patel send you documents?
More precisely did Mr Patel or Nunes send you classified documents?
Oh and are you currently a member of the Gang of Eight?
Page 311 asshole

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson So @DevinNunes @SenRonJohnson
Did YOU ever send/receive classified info from Kash Patel re Ukraine
“..it's a red flag when somebody who you barely know is involved...one of your policy issues..providing...materials outside of the line that we don't even know what those materials”

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes I’ll ask again @DevinNunes @SenRonJohnson did EITHER of YOU act as a conduit for Kash Patel who in turn gave Trump “out of scope materials concerning Ukraine”?
Ltc Vindman & Dr Hill lit your asses up.
WHO
GAVE
KASH PATEL
UKRAINE
DOCS & then gave to DJT..

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes This kind of BS Ltc Vindman endured pgs 78-81 of his Depo
@MarkMeadows tells @RepSwalwell to “SHUT UP”
@Jim_Jordan dog piles
Chairman @RepAdamSchiff unwavering
PPD-19, signed in 2012...protections against reprisal actions for making a complaint. IAA of 2014 CODIFIED protections

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff So as previously discussed there are numerous federal statutes that particularize various Whistleblower Protections. (those of us in DC understand it can be Agency specific)
The thread (below) might help you understand the various WBer protections.

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff SPECIFICALLY Re IC
So let’s start at the beginning
Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA) of 1998
Title VII of the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 1999
P.L. 105-272 §§701-702
codified in 5 USC §8H, 50 USC §3033 & 50 USC §3517.

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff 🇺🇸10 USC §1034 10 U.S.C. 1034🇺🇸
Protected communications; prohibition of retaliatory personnel actions WBer “protections for members of the Armed Forces, including those..assigned to an element of the IC”

FTR I AM NOT saying the WBers are in our Military

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff 🇺🇸PRESIDENTIAL POLICY DIRECTIVE (PPD) -19
Protecting Whistleblowers with Access to Classified Information.
Signed October 10, 2012.
Specifically protects some employees in the IC - prohibits actions taken in reprisal for making a lawful disclosure

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff Title VI of Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA)
- codified provisions of PPD-19 (50 USC 3234)
- Sec 601 of Title VI protects IC WBer from personnel action made in retaliation for a lawful disclosure

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff Intelligence Community Directive (ICD)-120
Est in 2014 but was amended (and codified) in 2016
“provision protecting against personnel actions made in retaliation for a lawful disclosure covers all elements of the IC with the specific exception of the FBI”

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff H.Amdt. 894 to the DOD Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (H.R. 4870) appropriated $2M to establish:

the IC Whistleblower and Source Protection Directorate - which rolls up to the ICOIG
This WAS an amendment to the DDAA for Fiscal Year 2015

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff On the margins Meadow might be correct that anonymity of the Intelligence Community Whistleblower isn’t “codified” - sadly even I could make a decent argument that unmasking a WBEr would crate an untenable change in employment “status”.
That’s WHY DJT & Co want to out the WBers👇🏻

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff What kind of message do you think this sends to potentially FUTURE whistleblowers?
FFS even Dr Hill said she getting death threats via emails & calls and people have shown up at het door.
So sure keep acting like Trump & Co are totally fine.
THEY ARE WRONG & they are unAmerican

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff I rarely if ever AGREE with Tom but he’s 100% correct.
WH & NSC “serve at the pleasure of the POTUS” but the retaliation re Ltc Vindman started well before today’s news.
See upthread for the relevant statutes at play

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff Seriously in Dr Hill & Ltc Vindman - respective depos
It’s pretty clear that Vindman was ice’d out of his job
And I swear to god if the House doesn’t subpoena Kash Patel - I might lose my shit
See the transcript excepts 👇🏻

@RudyGiuliani @USAmbEU @ericgarland @911CORLEBRA777 @LouiseMensch @SenRonJohnson @DevinNunes @MarkMeadows @RepSwalwell @Jim_Jordan @RepAdamSchiff I’m telling you now - NSC Employees “Work at the pleasure of the president”
But keep any eye on this
1) Trump is cleaning out the NSC
2) O’brien Is helping him
3) any further action by the DOD could & should be viewed as retaliation against Ltc Vindman
