"SNIP.....

“Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman is hitting back at the smear campaign against him,” the New York Times reports.

“A lawyer for Colonel Vindman, the National Security Council’s Ukraine expert, sent a warning letter to Fox News on Wednesday seeking a retraction or correction of an October segment hosted by one of the network’s biggest personalities, Laura Ingraham, which baselessly suggested that the colonel, a decorated Iraq war veteran, might be guilty of espionage.”

That guy needs to be kicked out of his teaching job and maybe disbarred. For a lawyer to make those allegations in public is wrong and unethical.

She is right, far far right, in her characterization of Vindman as guilty of espionage.
About as right as she can be.
But, she is totally incorrect in her assessment.
Vindman is a national hero; a template for anyone aspiring to be a career officer in the US military.
The far right has abandoned all pretense of acting in the interests of the nation.
They only serve themselves.
They only act out of self-serving, f**k the county, personal interests.
They are the pretenders to the concept of patriotism.
They have no interest in the true needs of the nation, only in their own narrow, selfish view that their way is the only way and f**k anyone who is not totally on their side.

She is pathetic.

Sue FOX, Laura Ingraham, and News Corp. Don't let the Murdoch clan keep getting away with this type
tabloid BS.
