Alex Vindman's testimony before the House Intelligence Committee about President Trump's phone call with the president of Ukraine.
Because committee Chairman Adam Schiff has kept Vindman's oral testimony secret, I focus on Vindman's prepared statement, which is public.
All About Vindman's Opinions, Not the Facts First, as discussed below, Vindman's testimony about the July 25 call between the two presidents does not add any new facts.
Vindman's statement is, in short, an unfounded and unsupported opinion.
Absent personal knowledge of a high crime or misdemeanor, Vindman's first personal opinion is immaterial.
Vindman's second opinion is that if Ukraine investigated the Bidens as President Trump suggested, it would lose the support of Democrats in Congress.
Vindman's public volunteering of his personal opinions contrary to those of his commander-in-chief violates the fundamental rule that military officers should be publicly apolitical.
