Vindman blows up Jim Jordan's smear of his service by reading glowing performance review

Source: raw story



Published 5 hours ago on November 19, 2019

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman on Tuesday shut down an attempt by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to question his service to his country by reading a glowing performance review given to him by former National Security Council staffer Fiona Hill.

During his questioning, Jordan quoted testimony from fellow impeachment inquiry witness Tim Morrison, who said he “had concerns about Lt. Col. Vindman’s judgment” and said those concerns were also shared by Hill.

Jordan asked Vindman why his colleagues would question his judgement — and the lieutenant colonel proceeded to read directly from Hill’s final performance review of his work.

“‘Alex is a top one percent military officer and the best army officer I have worked with in my 15 years of government service,'” he said, quoting from Hill’s evaluation. “‘He is brilliant, unflappable, and exercises excellent judgment.’… I think you get the idea.”

Grow up!

Your shit-flinging should have ended in junior high school.

You are in waters way over your head and you clearly have no idea what the fuck you're involved with.

It will be instructive to watch your upcoming crash-and-burn. I wonder what you'll do after your ass is out of Congress. You can't go back to coaching, that's for damn sure.

If he were to say - witness a child being molested by someone he worked with. Would we trust him to do the right thing?

Let's do a performance review...

..."While I'm a top 1% officer, you, Mr. Jordan were elected by less than 66% in your district. I'm A+. You're a bare C".

and record reveals more about their lack of moral character than anything else. It infuriates me that a dim-witted meadow muffin like Jordan can publicly question Vindman's pedigree.
