He said, &#8220;Do these guys not know what\u2019s gonna happen to them?&#8221; I said, &#8220;Who are you talking about?&#8221; &#8220;Well, look at Vindman. Does Vindman not know that his days are over? This guy has just violated various aspects of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. He\u2019s guilty of rank insubordination. And Sondland! Do these guys not know that they\u2019re finished after turning?&#8221; No. It\u2019s the exact opposite. In fact, I got a note from a good friend in the military, retired, <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/11\/19\/whos-at-the-top-of-vindmans-chain-of-command\/\">who offered the same opinion about Vindman yesterday<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/11\/19\/whos-at-the-top-of-vindmans-chain-of-command\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-329121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-Vindman.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-Vindman.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-Vindman-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>He said, &#8220;This guy has violated so much of the Uniform Code of Military Justice: Insubordination, not following the chain of command, implementing his own policy, claiming&#8230;&#8221; This guy actually claimed that he was the architect of foreign policy in Ukraine, Vindman did. Vindman actually said that he wrote the talking points for Trump for the phone call. Really? I wrote my military man back. I said, &#8220;I think you are reading this wrong,&#8221; and he wrote me back, &#8220;What do you mean?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I said, &#8220;Vindman\u2019s a hero! Vindman has been following somebody\u2019s orders. He\u2019s gonna get rewarded for it.&#8221; I said, &#8220;Look, the left has corrupted practically every institution in this country, and they\u2019ve got a foothold in the military now, and it\u2019s not news that they have. We\u2019ve got our political left-wing climate change generals. We\u2019ve got our warrior generals. Vindman\u2019s following somebody\u2019s orders, and he\u2019s gonna be rewarded for it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He\u2019s gonna be taken care of for it. He\u2019s gonna be protected for it. Vindman\u2019s not gonna get charged for anything, and he is guilty of insubordination. He has not followed the chain of command. The president is at the top of his chain of command, but he\u2019s following some other chain. And we don\u2019t know who\u2019s at the top of the chain that Vindman\u2019s following. We don\u2019t know who\u2019s at the top of the chain the whistleblower is following. We think we do. Somebody at the CIA, past or present, maybe somebody in the military.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>No, Vindman\u2019s gonna be protected. He\u2019s gonna be rewarded. Same thing for Sondland. Do you know what happens to Republicans that turn on Republicans? They\u2019re celebrated, they\u2019re taken care of &#8212; until they stop being useful. What do you think\u2019s gonna happen to these guys? I mean, I\u2019m seriously interested. You asked me the question, &#8220;Do these guys not know what they\u2019re in for?&#8221; What do you think\u2019s gonna happen to \u2019em? (interruption) Why would Vindman\u2019s military career be over? (interruption) Oh, because he can\u2019t be trusted?<\/p>\n<p>He can certainly be trusted by somebody. He can certainly be trusted by somebody to follow his orders and do what he\u2019s done. This guy has demonstrated profound loyalty to somebody or to some thing. Vindman is not rogue. This is what everybody needs to understand. He\u2019s not a one off. He hasn\u2019t decided on his own to save America from this weasel Trump. He is following somebody\u2019s orders. So is the whistleblower, and so is Sondland. We\u2019re in the middle of a coup here, gang!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e_c17vxrPWQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Somebody is pulling the strings for this. You look at these hearings. The Republicans are not allowed to call any witnesses. There was a closed-door session on Saturday that the transcript has not been released. Let me see what this is. Devin Nunes just pointed out that the person who can testify about the real reason that aid was held up is a guy named Mark Sandy. He was deposed behind closed doors Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>But they have not released the transcript of his deposition because it hurts Sondland and it\u2019s allowing the Democrats to impute the worst about all of this. They actually had a witness testify Saturday &#8212; Mark Sandy &#8212; who can testify to the ultimate truth of the reason aid was temporarily withheld. They\u2019ve got his testimony; they won\u2019t release it. The Democrats are not allowing the Republicans to call any witnesses, either rebuttal witnesses or fact-based, proactive witnesses. All they can do is cross-examine Democrat witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all they\u2019re being permitted to do &#8212; and only a few Republicans are being allowed to actually do it. If the American people (we are told) are so, so concerned about fairness, well, there isn\u2019t any in any of this. We had a woman call at the bottom of this hour who was eloquent as anybody has been on the absolute one-sidedness of this. But my point to all of you is that these people are not rogue. Vindman is not off the reservation. He\u2019s on somebody\u2019s, and he\u2019s following orders. Vindman is an order taker.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it is obvious that he is very impressed with himself at the same time. To sit there under oath yesterday can be claim that he coordinated American foreign policy with Ukraine? That had to be news to everybody watching, including the people that really do it! We all know a guy like this. We\u2019ve all had a guy like this in our offices, in our classrooms, in college, in high school, whatever. But my point is that this guy is taking somebody\u2019s orders, like the whistleblower was taking somebody\u2019s orders and still is, and I believe Sondland is too.<\/p>\n<p>Sondland\u2019s been so much all over the ballpark. His original testimony had to be amended after he heard other testimony. This is the third version of Sondland\u2019s version of events that we\u2019re getting today. So that\u2019s the thing. I mean, the real troubling thing is that all of these people who &#8212; in the normal ebb and flow &#8212; would be found untrustworthy and un-hirable and so forth? They\u2019re gonna be rewarded if they\u2019re not already being rewarded, because they are loyal to somebody. They are loyalty to some thing, some organization.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-329080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-IMPEACHMENT-HEARINGS-Sondland-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-IMPEACHMENT-HEARINGS-Sondland-5.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/APP-112019-IMPEACHMENT-HEARINGS-Sondland-5-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They are following their orders.<\/p>\n<p>They are doing their duty.<\/p>\n<p>All of these people believe that the president is not the commander-in-chief and he\u2019s not at the top of their chain of command.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: If nothing\u2019s happened to Comey or Hillary, why do you think something\u2019s gonna happen to Vindman or Sondland?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: All of these people believe that the president is not the commander-in-chief and he&#039;s not at the top of their chain of command.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":329121,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
