Ukrainian-American
Vindman twins work at the NSC; one will be the first WH official to testify.

They left Ukraine after their mom died & came to the US with their dad, brother & grandmother.

In 1985, they were in a documentary about...
The Statute of Liberty. 🗽#Karma
‘The Statute of Liberty’ documentary the young Ukrainian-American Vindman twins were in aired on
October 28, 1985.

On October 28, 2019,
Alexander Vindman
submitted his opening
statement to Congress,
the day before testifying
in an impeachment inquiry involving Ukraine.
There’s an older Vindman brother too. If their Ukrainian mother were alive today, I’m sure she’d be very proud of her Ukrainian-American sons speaking truth to power and their place in the history books protecting the United States and Ukraine.

Few have done more to help cover up for the crimes Vladimir Putin committed against the United States than @DevinNunes. This includes character assassination campaigns against our Intel Community, FBI, & witnesses. He’s been key in obstructing justice and gaslighting Americans.
Days before the secretive meeting Putin and Trump held in Helsinki in July 2018, Rep Nunes, then Chairman of the House Intel Committee, made public lists of American on Putin/Trump’s enemies lists. It was an intimidation tactic and witness tampering. It put Americans in danger.
The media should look into the secretive meetings Rep. Nunes held in Montenegro in April 2017, including what proxies of Manafort’s or the Kremlin were there. Same month when Deripaska was worried about sanctions. Nunes has chosen protecting the Russian mafia over Americans.

When exactly did the State Dept. first ask Giuliani to arm-twist Ukrainian officials to collect fabricated dirt on Trump opponents?

Giuliani had many high level meetings in Ukraine in 2017, ranging from the president to the fired General Prosecutor he met with then and in 2019.
Shortly after Giuliani’s 2017 trip to Ukraine, a KGB trained & Manafort-linked Ukrainian MP shopped a story calling for me, Hillary Clinton, and Ukrainians to be investigated for exposing Manafort’s Putin-backed corruption. State Department orders too?

politico.com/story/2017/08/…
David Stern, the journalist who ran the KGB trained/Manafort-linked Ukrainian MP’s story calling for me, Hillary, & Ukrainians to be investigated for exposing Manafort’s corruption working for Putin, was Ken Vogel’s co-author of the original “Ukraine collusion” hit piece.

Trump was Nigel Farage’s greatest U.S. alley promoting Brexit in 2016. Farage campaigned w/ Trump in Mississippi month after vote.

Now, Farage raises $$ for Brexit from Trump supporters including Mississippi Governor.

Bannon & Russians involved in both UK & US elections.
Putin’s 2016 & 2020 goals:

Use political warfare to attack Democratic nations & military/economic alliances that implemented Russian sanctions and/or viewed as a threat, causing chaos & divide. Destabilize them & install/keep Putin Puppets.

Top Targets:

- US
- UK
- EU
- NATO
Putin’s longterm goal:

A new Russian Empire, he is Czar.

Russia is a mafia state ruled by a dictator. He’s building a Putin mafia empire.

Key to success - American evangelicals, just as Russian Orthodox are to his power in Russia. World Congress of Families is global connector

So expect Trump.. to go after Col. Vindman as a 'spy', Laura Ingraham started it last night on her show, citing his Ukraine birth & the Ukraine ppl seeking advice from him while he worked in WH. That's going to be their angle on this VERY credible witness. #TuesdayThoughts
LTC Vindman, who testifies today, is thought to be the 'breakout' witness in the Impeachment probe, who could just bury Trump. Them calling him a spy is no surprise, they're going to throw EVERYTHING they can create at him. Hard. Brace yourselves. #TuesdayThoughts
LTC Vindman is the first WH official to testify-was an eye-witness not only to the Zelensky call, but he says in his opening statement that he reported the disturbing elements of the call to his superiors in the WH twice. And he was witness to the shadow gov't. Today will be big.

💥First direct witness on Ukraine call >> Top WH Ukraine expert & decorated military officer will tell impeachment investigators he twice reported concerns about Trump’s pressure tactics on Ukraine nytimes.com/2019/10/28/us/… #UkraineGate #Impeachment
LtCol Vindman wasn't just worried about Trump's illegal demand. As a natsec expert AND Soviet immigrant, he understood the implications: Dragging Ukraine into partisan investigations would undoubtedly result in losing bipartisan support—bad for OUR natl security, good for Russia.
Trump propagandists smear hero Vindman b/c the truth is clear as day. His testimony is first-hand direct evidence of Trump's abuse of power, directing a campaign to pressure Ukraine to benefit himself—& Russia—at the expense of our national security goals. int.nyt.com/data/documenth…

BREAKING: Army officer on White House staff reported concerns on Trump’s Ukraine dealings. Lt. Col. Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the NSC will tell impeachment investigators he twice reported concerns about Trump’s pressure tactics on Ukraine.

Vindman, a national security official and decorated Iraq war veteran, will tell House investigators he heard Trump ask Zelensky to investigate Biden, a request he considered so damaging to US interests, he reported it to a superior.
by @dannyhakim #Maddow
@dannyhakim “I did not think it was proper to demand a foreign govt investigate a US citizen.”

Lt. Col. Vindman twice registered objections about how Trump and his cronies were treating Ukraine out of a “sense of duty,” he plans to tell the House on Tuesday.

💣BOOM💣

Decorated @USArmy veteran LTC Alexander Vindman plans to tell @HouseDemocrats that he heard @realDonaldTrump ask #Ukraine’s president to investigate @JoeBiden, and reported it to a superior out of what he called a “sense of duty.”

What a hero!🇺🇸
nytimes.com/2019/10/28/us/…
🔥Vindman—the 1st WH official to testify who listened in on the July 25 #Ukrainegate call—is the TOP #Ukraine expert on the NSC and raised internal objections TWICE about how Trump and his cronies were treating #Ukraine.

#Ukrainegate
Vindman: “I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a US citizen...I realized that if #Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play” that would HURT #Ukraine.

To help TRUMP.🤬

#Ukraine’s on the verge of martial law b/c #Russia just seriously escalated its 4yo illegal war—blocking key Kerch Strait, firing on & seizing 3 Ukrainian navy ships, wounding 6 Ukrainian sailors—AND Trump attacks NATO & EU. Appalling, terrifying & expected of a #PutinPuppet.
