'If you find yourself lying about a war hero, you should probably question your choices in life,' Representative Sean Maloney said.
"My advice to Ron Johnson is to walk around the block and think about it," Maloney said."I don't know what he was doing when Lieutenant Colonel Vindman earned the Purple Heart in Iraq, in an IED attack, but to question Lieutenant Colonel Vindman's patriotism is disgusting."
In Johnson's letter to House Republicans, he suggested, without evidence, that Vindman could have long been working to remove Trump from the White House. "A significant number of bureaucrats and staff members within the executive branch have never accepted President Trump as legitimate and resent his unorthodox style and his intrusion onto their 'turf,'" the GOP senator wrote, according to Politico."They react by leaking to the press and participating in the ongoing effort to sabotage his policies and, if possible, remove him from office. It is entirely possible that Vindman fits this profile.
National Security Council Ukraine expert Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman and Jennifer Williams, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, are sworn in before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. on November 19Some Republicans also pushed back against the effort to discredit Vindman, however. GOP Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming strongly criticized the attacks against the lieutenant colonel in late October.during a press conference.
During Vindman's closed-door testimony last month, he revealed that the summary transcript of a July 25 call between Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had left out multiple details. He also warned that the administration's efforts to pressure Ukrainian leaders to investigate Trump's political rivals could"undermine U.S. national security."
