    Obama is better at intimidation and maintaining operational security than SCROTUS?

    From your OP:

    "And if you’re ever given one, you’ll raise it to whoever gives it to you that this is an illegal order, and then tell your boss.”

    Did Lt. Colonel do it?

    The desperation on the LW is palpable after the acquittal and prospect of Bernie winning the nomination. Too funny.

    Thank you.

    Now let's see if you want to dodge again. Who declassified the contents of Trump's phone call?

    Your refusal to read the reasons why you're incorrect---and wildly so---doesn't mean that I have to "prove" what I've already proven to you.

    If you won't read what I posted, then just say that you have no desire to read all of the words and stuff.

    But he also didn't violate "the chain of command! Auugghh!!!!"

    Unless you know more than General Kelly. Do you know more than General Kelly?

    I didn't make that claim. You had tried to ridicule and belittle his Purple Heart, so I corrected your lack of information.

    False.

    Pelosi told us on Sep 24th they were opening an impeachment inquiry because Trump "sought to interfere in an election by opening investigations into Joe Biden".

    The transcript was then released on the 25th.

    Thanks for playing.

    Or as Obama himself once muttered, "It turns out that I am damn good at killing." You know . . . like wedding parties.

    Vindman is clearly not aware that an 0-5 in the Army does not outrank the Commander in Chief. It appears that neither are you.

    "Blaaarrrgh! He didn't follow the chain of command!! Oh no! Get him!"

    *LOL*

    As General John Kelly said, he did exactly what he was supposed to do. But keep making up bullshit to try to denigrate a man who put his country first.

    You have evidence he spoke to Morrison about an "illegal order" before speaking to the "whistleblower"?

    Bunk, there are only three ways to commit witness intimidation under the law: “physically harming a witness, bribing a witness, or coercing a witness to lie.”

    Surely you can quote Vindman or Morrision during their hours of testimony speaking of an "illegal" order.... or an "unlawful" order.. Or if you prefer a "criminal" order..

    Here is your chance to show me up.. Go for it..

    No kidding, Trump doesn't lose his 1A rights just because he's POTUS, especially given the unjustified Deep State effort against him. Eric Holder did exactly this when he altered the sentences of the Black Panthers.

    What do you think this means? That a soldier should not report an unlawful order given by the CIC?
