Remember retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the creepy “whistleblower” who testified in Trump’s first impeachment trial? Now the Trump-hater is in another battle of words with X owner and newly-appointed  "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) co-leader Elon Musk.

Vindman accused Musk of being a Vladimir Putin puppet, because Vindman seems to think that everyone in the Trump orbit is somehow a Russian asset.

Vindman is on the payroll of Ukrainian oligarchs and has committed treason against the United States, for which he will pay the appropriate penalty

Vindman responded:

Elon, here you go again making false and completely unfounded accusations without providing any specifics. That’s the kind of response one would expect from a conspiracy theorist. What oligarch? What treason?

Let me help you out with the facts: I don’t take/have never taken money from any money from oligarchs Ukrainian or other otherwise.

• I do run a nonprofit foundation. The http://HereRightMattersFoundatiom.org to help Ukraine defend itself from Russia’s unprovoked attack on Feb 24, 2022. I served in the military for nearly 22 years and my loyalty is to supporting the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. That’s why I reported presidential corruption when I witnessed an effort to steal an election. That report was in classified channels and when called by Congress to testify about presidential corruption I did so, as required by law.
• You, Elon, appear to believe you can act with impunity and are attempting to silence your critics. I’m not intimidated.

The nasty feud was prompted when Vindman thew all sorts of wild accusations at Musk.

The tech billionaire went after Vindman, who worked as a Ukraine expert on the National Security Council and later testified in Trump’s 2019 impeachment hearings, after Vindman pointedly criticized Musk in an MSNBC interview circulated online.

“Clearly Putin has a type. He likes narcissists and egomaniacs that he knows as a case officer can easily pander to manipulate, to do his dirty work,” Vindman said in the late October interview circulated online by X users this week. “Russia has been using different levers — whether that’s corruption networks, in this case, its influencers like Donald Trump, like Elon Musk, to kind of sow discord.”

Vindman is not a very likable character and acts as if he’s some sort of savior and hero when he’s anything but.

The Vindman Crime Family has committed treason against a sitting president and this country, they are truly dangerous traitors who need to go to prison for a long time. They incited this war in Ukraine and should pay a price for all the deaths they helped cause
