Support the troops!

Завтра будет давать показания первый свидетель, который слушал разговор Трампа с Зеленским, Александр Виндман. Этот телефонный разговор показался Виндману настолько perfect, что он доложил o нем главному юристу National Security Council.
Это был второй случай, когда Виндман обращался к NSC's lead counsel. В первый раз он пожаловался ему, когда Сондланд требовал от представителей Украины расследования Бурисмы.
Виндман попал в США ребенком, его родители эмигрировали с Украины. Он военный, служил, в частности, в Ираке, где был ранен и награжден Purple Heart. Сейчас он входит в White House's National Security Council, в число стран, политикой в отношении которых занимается Виндман, входит и Украина.
Его вступительное слово опубликовано здесь: Opening Statement of Lieutenant Colonel Alexander S. Vindman.
Всего шесть страниц, прочитайте. Я процитирую часть, непосредственно относящуюся к предмету расследования.
Oleksandr Danylyuk Visit July 10, 2019Стоит отметить, что показания Виндмана прямо противоречат показаниям Сондланда, который сказал, что ни Болтон, ни Хилл, ни кто другой не говорили ему ни о каких concerns:
On July 10, 2019, Oleksandr Danylyuk , the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council for Ukraine, visited Washington, D. C. for a meeting with National Security Advisor Bolton. Ambassadors Volker and Sondland also attended, along with Energy Secretary Rick Perry.
The meeting proceeded well until the Ukrainians broached the subject of a meeting between the two presidents. The Ukrainians saw this meeting as critically important in order to solidify the support of their most important international partner. Amb. Sondland started to speak about Ukraine delivering specific investigations in order to secure the meeting with the President, at which time Ambassador Bolton cut the meeting short.
Following this meeting, there was a scheduled debriefing during which Amb. Sondland emphasized the importance that Ukraine deliver the investigations into the 2016 election, the Bidens, and Burisma. I stated to Amb. Sondland that his statements were inappropriate, that the request to investigate Biden and his son had nothing to do with national security, and that such investigations were not something the NSC was going to get involved in or push. Dr. Hill then entered the room and asserted to Amb. Sondland that his statements were inappropriate.
Following the debriefing meeting, I reported my concerns to the NSC's lead counsel. Dr. Hill also reported the incident to the NSC's lead counsel.
Election Call July 25 , 2019
On July 21, 2019 President Zelenskyy' s party won Parliamentary elections in a landslide victory. The NSC proposed that President Trump call President Zelenskyy to congratulate him.
On July 25 , 2019, the call occurred. I listened in on the call in the Situation Room with colleagues from the NSC and the office of the Vice President. As the transcript is in thepublic record, weare all aware of what was said.
I was concerned by the call. I did not think i twas proper to demand that a foreign governmen tinvestigate a U. S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U. S . government' s support of Ukraine. I realized that if Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained. This would all undermine U. S. national security. Following the call, I again reportedmy concernsto NSC's lead counsel.

Update: What. The. Fuck?
Oh my God, look at the spin they are using right now, actually saying that Vindman is a Ukrainian double agent....this is so freaking bananas pic.twitter.com/ritg9QcNgV
