Trump threatens to expose information about Alexander Vindman "real soon"

President Trump threatened to reveal some sort of information about Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the senior White House official who testified that key references to Joe Biden were omitted from the partial White House transcript of Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Vindman, a decorated Iraq war veteran who serves as the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council, testified that he twice reported his concerns about the call, which he viewed as a national security threat, but was told to stay quiet by Trump administration officials.

Hours after Vindman’s opening statement was reported in the press, Trump baselessly claimed that Vindman is a “Never Trumper,” as he did after his own Ukraine envoy, Bill Taylor, confirmed to Congress that there was a quid pro quo between Trump and Ukraine.

On Sunday, a reporter asked Trump outside the White House what “evidence” he had showing that Vindman was a Never Trumper.

Yeah so what. It doesn't change the fact that you broke the law.

meme. The "information" is that he is supposedly a "never Trumper." In response to a direct question about the allegation that Vindman was a never-Trumper, Trump promised to provide evidence he was soon.

Not worthy of the half-dozen threads about it, and not anything that realistically falls within the category of a threat.

This is the president vengeful, tit-for-tat child/mob boss/all around slime bucket.

I'll be so glad to get rid of this new-scandal-everyday, 100-lie-a-day embarrassment to the country criminal/extortionist.

10. Whenever 45 says "real soon", it's code for "don't worry about it", and that's all. Nothing happens.

... and then he expects everyone to forget about the fact that he promised to do something, and treat the promise as if it were the actual accomplishment of the act. His base, of course, willingly drop the subject, as if they were instructed to do so (which they were, really, just in idiot code talk).
