Ten Reasons Vindman’s Testimony Was Bad for Democrats (Updated)

PJ Media
National Security Council aide Mr. Alexander Vindman
"Forget the Democrats' talking points. Forget the media spin. If you watched Lt. Col. Vindman's testimony today it was a total dud for the Democrats and their impeachment witch hunt. Need proof? I've compiled ten reasons that the show today did not advance the Democrats' narrative one bit." . . .
3. Vindman said he couldn’t recall Ukrainians feeling pressured to do investigationsIt's kind of hard to claim that they were pressured when there's no evidence they felt pressured.
One must acknowledge that Vindman does wear the Combat Infantryman's Badge which means the wearer was in the presence of enemies who wanted to kill him. But many who earned that honor in Vietnam also were guilty of "fragging" their superiors.

Updates:
Vindman busted for resume enhancement during yesterday’s testimony
Vindman previously claimed in his opening statement to be the “principal advisor to the National Security Advisor and the president on Ukraine and the other countries in my portfolio.”
 Strange media silence after Vindman testified he was offered job of Ukraine Minister of Defense 3 times
. . . "Update: I wish that Republicans had asked Vindman about his intereactions with Ukraine'sofficials  when that country's government was interfering with the US presidential election in 2016.  Victoria Toensing remembers:Hey Dems. ALSO interfered in 2016 election ...to help HRC. @NellieOhr testified Ukrainians helped her write dossier; Ukr Amb to US wrote OpEd in @thehill criticizing candidate @realDonaldTrump; DNC and Obama WH in Jan 2016 asked Ukr Embassy for dirt on Manafort.
Touchy devil: Vindman pulls rank on Nunes
. . . "In reality, people who are assured of their self-worth don't need to turn to titles and ranks to let the world know how important they are. The elite military units sure don't. If Nunes had treated Vindman rudely, which he did not, the onus would be on Nunes, not Vindman, as such arrows would bounce right off. This guy, though, acts like a human pincushion, concerned about the opinions of Twitterati no less. Kind of unbecoming. And worse still, would an enlisted man want to follow such a person? Not a normal one." . . .
