I can construct a line of questioning easily

"Mr. Vindman, you described your job as "coordinating US policy on Ukraine, correct?"

"Earlier, you described your rank, Lt. Col., as fairly, low, correct?"

"Because, in fact, you are fairly low on the totem pole in the NSC, yes?"

"So when you say you coordinate Ukraine policy, Mr. Vindman, all you do is compile opinions from others, correct?"

"You do not SET Ukraine policy, correct?"

"Who is ultimately responsible for setting American policy towards Ukraine, Lt. Col. Vindman?"

"Correct, Mr. Vindman. President Trump sets American policy towards Ukraine."

"Earlier, you said you were aware of Rudy Giuliani's 'advances' towards Ukraine, correct?"

"But you said you didn't know whose authority he was operating under, yes?"

#ImpeachmentHearing

"But you were aware that Mr. Giuliani was President Trump's lawyer, correct?"

"So you were aware that Mr. Giuliani was acting on behest of President Trump, correct?"

"And you just conceded that President Trump sets American foreign policy in Ukraine, correct?"

"When you met with the Ukrainian President, you testified that to told him to 'stay out of US domestic politics,' correct?"

"And, as you testified, you were referring to Rudy Giuliani's initiative to get Burisma and Joe Biden investigated, correct?"

#ImpeachmentHearing

"So, to be clear, you advised the Ukrainian President to turn down a request from a personal envoy of the President of the United States?"

"Given your testimony, Lt. Col. Vindman, why should you not be fired on the spot for insubordination."
