💥#Vindman transcript out! He testified Trump's demand for public announcement of politically-motivated investigation into Biden by Ukraine undermines US national security. And detailed the pressure campaign waged by Trump & allies ahead of the call. docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
😃GOP Ratcliffe disputed Vindman using the word 'demand' & got better language! Now there's sworn testimony that Trump's demand was a "prerequisite"—"in return for"—for a WH meeting: "This was about getting a White House meeting… a demand to fulfill his particular prerequisite." 
#Vindman testimony makes a key point: Trump's demand for investigations, if carried out, wouldn't be credible & likely result in #disinformation. He notes that pressuring a foreign govt desperate for aid to fight for its very survival would do whatever it has to get that aid.
I've been arguing for months that Trump & Giuliani have been hunting for Biden & Russia disinformation, just laundering it thru Ukrainians. In May and again after the whistleblower complaint exploded into #UkraineGate & #impeachment
😅Vindman burns right-wing media darling John Solomon whose stories fueled Ukraine conspiracy theories. V said ALL key elements of his stories were lies & falsehoods. When GOP Zeldin asks, all of them? Vindman says, maybe his grammar was correct😂 thedailybeast.com/vindman-burns-… #Maddow
