Oh: Mr. Bearclaw -- I'm Sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Bearclaw -- Admits That Ukraine Asked Him to... Be Their Defense Minister

Apparently the Ukranians had absolutely no questions about Vindman's national loyalties. They offered him one of the highest-ranking positions in government -- three times.

White House official Lt. Col. [Big Boy Bearclaw] testified Tuesday as part of the House impeachment inquiry that he was asked to serve as Ukraine’s defense minister -- but repeatedly denied the offers -- when he traveled to Kiev for the inauguration of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Minority counsel Steve Castor asked Vindman about the offer made by Ukraine's Defense Council Oleksandr Danylyuk earlier this year.


[Lt. Col. Bearclaw] testified Tuesday that Danylyuk offered him the position "three times."

"Every single time, I dismissed it," [Bearclaw] said. "Upon returning, I notified my chain of command and the appropriate counterintelligence folks about this offer."




This strikes me as almost certainly true, and it would explain why Shifty Schiff keeps threatening anyone who asked who Vindman talked to. Not about the whistleblower per se, but whenever anyone asks who Vindman started talking to (outside of permitted protocol), Schiff brings the gavel down.



I wouldn't say he "admitted" it, but I also wouldn't say he didn't not admit it.

Here's Schiff working hard to protect the whistleblower, whose identity he claims he does not know.

And yet, whenever Vindman is asked whether he spoke to someone who might resemble Eric Ciaramella, Schiff rushes in to end any questioning "that might reveal the identity of the whistleblower."

And Vindman himself says he will not answer, to protect the whistleblower.

But Vindman also swore, under oath, that he did not know who the whistleblower is.

How does he know what questions could lead to his identity if he doesn't know his identity?

How does he know he shouldn't name the man he tattled about the Zelensky call to -- a man whose identity he obviously does know -- unless he knows, despite his sworn testimony to the contrary, that that man is in fact the fake whistleblower?



If he's lying about this, why... um, why should we believe anything that comes out of his mouth?

A question I really want to hear the answer to is: Was Lt. Col. Bearclaw on the #Resistance secret comms listserv? Was Ciaramella?

Was Brennan?

Update from Tami:

@IvanPentchoukov 23 minutes ago

In a verbal slip, Alexander Vindman described the unnamed intelligence community official as "an individual from the Office of In-"

Could it be the Office of Inspector General @ CIA?

11 Apparently we're not allowed to use this phrase, but he may well have "dual loyalties."

I doubt it, though. I think what he has is either a single loyalty to the unaccountable global administrative state or outright disloyalty to the United States.

12 I suppose it's possible that Vindman didn't give the information directly to Ciaramella. There may have been 1 or more cut outs which would give him a case to say he doesn't who the whistleblower is.

85 My impressions of Vindman is that like many of his ilk, he is a smug, self-satisfied shit bird and does not have loyalty to the CIC or America writ large but to the "inter- agency" and the bureaucratic/Deep State.



It is also clear he was a prime actor in this op, because instead of going to his boss with his concerns, he went straight to lawyers who instructed him to not talk to his boss.


Now him going to the lawyers was all part of the op, I believe everyone up and down the line was in on this operation.


This is scary stuff, there is no possibility of Trump
being able to correct these enormous problems all by himself, he needs congressional and Senate help, which will never be forthcoming.

The summary Vindman wrote after the call read:

President Trump underscored the unwavering support of the United States for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity - within its internationally recognized borders - and expressed his commitment to work together with President-elect Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people to implement reforms that strengthen democracy, increase prosperity, and root out corruption.

But Vindman clarified during his testimony that the president did not bring up the topic rooting out corruption during the phone call, but he included it in his summary of the call anyway.


When asked by the Democrat counsel about whether the summary he wrote was false, Vindman hesitated.

"That's not entirely accurate, but I'm not sure I would describe it as false, it was consistent with U.S. policy," Vindman said.

Vindman said he included the rhetoric about corruption as a "messaging platform" to describe U.S. policy toward Ukraine, even though it was not discussed on the call.

Well do I know. Without referring to Suetonius, I recall that he was offered a diadem at public games and made a show of refusing it. This happened three times, and the crowd reaction was so enthusiastic about his refusal that he didn't dare go through with accepting it. He was torqued.

Everyone on this blog knows that Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election. How could this expert not know that?

His insistence of sticking with the 17 Intel agencies that Russia meddled was a real tell.

127 From an earlier thread:

During questioning Vindman said he didn't know who the "whistleblower" is, but then was cornered when Nunes asked him how his reluctance to answer certain questions could "out" the "whistleblower."

I'm beginning to suspect that Vindman himself is the leaker.

His testimony has been all over the place. He's unable to stick to whatever script he was given. The guy has been an unmitigated disaster as a witness.

There is probably a lot to this assertion. There's a cabal trying things but it doesn't need to go all that deep if the organization is generally corrupt. They need to try to direct the traffic, but you don't need a top-down conspiracy if everyone already generally agrees on what they think should be done. It'll be a bit chaotic, but it'll also move in the right direction.

You don't need smoky rooms full of totalitarians deciding how best to enslave and fuck over the people if most of the people employed by the organizations are totalitarians or proto-totalitarians anyway.

171 144: Sure. And their incompetence in these matters is encouraged by the fact that the other members of the team will play clean-up when they fumble like this. People think this is funny, but it's not great, considering this apparatus is responsible for our national security, if not always directly, at least indirectly. It's also responsible for making decisions that affect our health and quality of life. The incompetence of our government, contra the libertarians, is only a good thing because they're mostly communists; if they could actually figure out how to do what they want we'd be in gulags.

Nevertheless, They went to Scheiff and swore that they knew what it said.

Scheiff wrote his "transcript" based on what they told him (and his staff)--specifically that "Trump demanded the Ukraine manufacture dirt on Biden" eight times in the call.

219 If Bearclaw leaked to Ciaramella, then he can claim he does not know if Ciaramella is the WB, because maybe "Charlie" leaked to another cutout ... who is still protected. As long as he has no direct knowledge of what Charlie did, he can claim to not know.


Same with Ciaramella and Schiffty ... Schiff's office coordinated and probably wrote the whole complaint, but they can only surmise whether Charlie delivered it directly, or gave it to someone else.

They are sneaky at covering up ... so they might toss in an extra cutout, and then claim ignorance ... button button, who's got the button ... idk, I gave it him, last I saw it.

So then, this other guy who was in the meeting is now saying "yep, that person who totally happened to hear what was going on is entirely correct and truthful."?

second-hand information?

One little change, and its a funny one. The ICIG didn't fix the WB rules (and form) until after Ciaramella had filed his complaint, and only when the press asked about the problem. That's when they changed the rules (or so says Federalist).

After the 2014 coup in Ukraine which the Obama administration helped run, Victoria Nuland and former Ambassador Pyatt were caught on a leaked phone call discussing who they wanted to stop the new administration with. Why not, they were running the country. Probably explains how Ukraine ended up with a former president of Georgia as the governor of Odessa.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out that Vindman was a big fan of John McCain who was also involved in all of this Ukrainian corruption.

Well mass immigration has always benefited the Democrat party, mass Irish, Italian and German immigration in the late 19th and the early 20th century resulted in near total Democrat political control for 60 years.


So it should be no surprise that mass hispanic and asian immigration should not similarly result in Democrat dominance for the next 60 years.

318 225 Ironic racism is one of the known styles of racism. Here's a quick rundown:
- "True Racism" - vintage type. Rare these days, has lots of colorful language, no filter. Likes the term 'colored', was probably robbed by black people once. Would probably do nasty things to people of other races but only at a rally.

- Liberal Racism - retro type. Common among liberals who grew up in multi-cultural places and had 'black friends'. Think they know the limits on racial slurs, secretly know about the IQ gap. Mouth platitudes. Do ironic blackface.
- Colorblind Racism - modern type. Thinks all people are equal and that skin color is just a paint job. Believes in equality of opportunity but not result. May still note how well-spoken a black man is. Would never say the n-word but might still call the police for noise violations.

- Progressive Racism - postmodern type. Thinks that all people could be equal if full communism was enacted. Believes whites to be inferior and that every skin color other than white is a paint job on a beautiful colored soul.
- Ironic Racism - futurist type. Googled USS Liberty incident. Used racist slurs and offensive images such as swastikas online because it made uncool people hilariously mad. Now believes that the world is controlled by Jews trying to import a black underclass to beat white hispanics such as themselves into submission.
- Christian Racism - classic type. Would like their daughters to not be raped by illegal aliens. Would like their cities to be orderly. All of their solutions to problems would create disparate impact and are thus racist.

399 @358 "When did it become Keev, instead of Key-ev?"

Right after the elites decided that only Americans could not give an English name to any foreign place, because that would be piggishly ignorant, but have to imitate a poor speaker of a foreign languge when speaking about any other country. So Peking became "Bayzhhinng" and Nicaragua "Nicchhhharghhua" etc etc.

But they have no problem with France saying "Les Etats Unis" and I'm sure the Chinese don't say "Washington DC" in its correct English pronunciation . --but I suppose we should scream at them to call it by its AMERICAN name.

Its a lack of what Mark Steyn would call "civilizational confidence."

As desperate as a Ukrainian gas company for a crackhead no show.

Well, when they aren't fucking up investigations, entrapping people and actively breaking the law, it looks like FIB employees are faggy little gossips.

453 399 @358 "When did it become Keev, instead of Key-ev?"

Right after the elites decided that only Americans could not give an English name to any foreign place, because that would be piggishly ignorant, but have to imitate a poor speaker of a foreign languge when speaking about any other country. So Peking became "Bayzhhinng" and Nicaragua "Nicchhhharghhua" etc etc.

But they have no problem with France saying "Les Etats Unis" and I'm sure the Chinese don't say "Washington DC" in its correct English pronunciation . --but I suppose we should scream at them to call it by its AMERICAN name.

Its a lack of what Mark Steyn would call "civilizational confidence."

Are they any more damning than the texts to Page in which he tells her he has a plan to take out Trump?



Because you couldn't get any more damning than that unless Smirk out and out said I'm part of the Deep State coup against the President.


This bulk release of McCabe and Strozk materials strikes me as clerical and reporting deck clearing ahead of the Horowitz report, which will put a button on this whole affair.


And when I say put a button on it I mean, that's it, it's over nothings material is going to happen.


And then the last bit will be whatever Barr/Durham dig up.


Which should/could come out in the spring?

Well, its just a question of what they are serious about, isn't it.

I mean the FBI/DOJ will put you in jail.

The state department will broker wonderfully complicated financing/hostile takeover schemes.

Its just that none of these things is done to serve the United States of America, per se.

Don't even get me going on her mishandling of classified information. Also, after she said that they found her briefing papers with her signature on them.

Posted by: bluebell at November 19, 2019 03:31 PM (aXucN)

I said at the time, that's what her staff is FOR. I honestly wouldn't expect most VIPs to take the time to figure out the details or pay attention to most briefings any more than they took the time to figure out how to work the copy maker. Yes, it's LAZY but it's not a big deal. I don't blame her for that.

I BLAME her for expecting her staff to get her around what they should have been making sure she did. That's not by accident. That's Her, the first time a staffer says "we need to follow this procedure" slapping the staffer down instead of saying "thanks" for keeping track of sh*t.
