* He didn't threaten to expose anything - he responded to a direct inquiry asking for evidence
* The contention being made that he said he would produce infomraiton about is that Vindman is a "never Trumper."

The actual exchange is barely recognizable from the caption on the tweet (which I know you didn't write - you copied it word for word from the tweet). And - the responses are suggesting most are reacting to the caption, not the content.

We really need to be better than this if we don't want to prove the appelllation "fake news," a accurate one.

And even if had made the threat, that's how the game's played.

I saw an expose about one witness that rebutted some star (D) testimony. The expose was all about how things in his background, whether last year or last century, prove that not only can his testimony *not* be taken at face value, but in fact should be evidence of even more scurrilous acts coercing him to provide such obviously false (not to say, inconvenient) testimony.

Person's in the way, destroy his reputation and career and revel in that another subhuman's been put in his place. It's where we've evolved to. I seem to again feel a kind of shame for my species.

He still seems to be able to hear and he still answers questions (and still poorly). I don't get what the helicopter is for.
