WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said Saturday that more information would be released shortly about Alexander Vindman, the U.S. official who told Congress he was concerned that Trumps call with Ukraines leader threatened national security.
Vindman, a U.S. Army lieutenant colonel and National Security Council official, has been targeted by Trump since his Oct. 29 congressional testimony was released. Trump tweeted that day that Vindman was a Never Trumper witness.
Asked whether he regrets calling the Vindman a Never Trumper, Trump told reporters on Saturday, Well, youll be seeing very soon what comes out and then you can ask the question in a different way.
Vindman sat in on the July 25 call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that spurred the House of Representatives impeachment investigation.

"During the height of Donald Trumps relentless birtherism in 2011, the reality TV star claimed he had personally sent investigators to Hawaii to uncover information about President Barack Obamas birthplace and boasted that they couldnt believe what theyre finding.
But theres no proof he ever did that.
After five years of perpetuating racist lies about Obamas birthplace, the Republican presidential nominee is finally conceding that the president was indeed born in Hawaii. But Trump still hasnt acknowledged that he fueled the birther movement, nor has he disclosed what evidence he believes his investigators allegedly found."....(more)

(102,236 posts)ballistic on this tactic? Not to mention those few R members of Congress that still seem to feel military honor is important?
I don't understand why this should not backfire as few other things could.

(1,997 posts)He loves to bluff...remember how he had people in Hawaii looking into Obama's birth certificate and 'we won't believe what they're finding"? And then there was the soon-to-be-held press conference that would answer all our questions on Melania's immigration?
Why anyone would believe a word coming from him is beyond me.

(28,340 posts)The First "Lady" was going to give a press conference and explain her citizenship?
Remember when North Korea testing missiles was going to be met with "fire and fury the likes of which the world has never seen?"
Trump doesn't have shit, he just wants to soil this man in the eyes of his cult, who will never bother to remember or verify that any "information" was actually released. Trump implied he is dirty, so they will be unshakably certain that it is so.
