This is the Tom Hartman Program. Greetings my friends, Patriots, lovers of democracy, truth and justice, believers in peace, freedom, and the American way.

This is the third, I guess, of the formal impeachment hearings.

It is right now Jennifer Williams who is the special advisor to Mike Pence, Vice President

Mike Pence on Europe and Russia and Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vintman decorated war hero, he's still walking around with

shrapnel in his body, he's on the National Security Council and detail to the White House.

They were both actually on the phone call where Donald Trump solicited the bribe

or offered the bribe rather to Mr. Zelensky the president of Ukraine there

have been a number of attempts by the Republicans up to this

point to basically smear Mr. Vinman. He was born in Ukraine. His father was

Ukrainian. They fled Ukraine when he was three years old I believe when he was a toddler

and came to the United States. They're US citizens. He and his twin brother both joined

the army. His twin brother I believe is in the room with him and as well as his father.

In fact, in his opening statement he said, Dad, I'll be fine if I just tell the truth.

But one of the things that the New York Times is reporting right now is that the Army is actually looking at relocating him and his family because the right wing media has been stirring up the right wing hate machine to the point that they're afraid that somebody might

attack him or his family.

I don't have anything on Jennifer Williams on that right now.

Jim Jordan, the right wing hitman. This was just amazing.

Vindman apparently a high-ranking person inside Ukraine three times offered him the

position of defense minister for the country of Ukraine in part because he was

born in Ukraine in part because actually this has happened before and binman and his

answer said you know there have been American military officials who have served as the

defense ministers of essentially emerging countries.
