Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, center, before testifying in the impeachment inquiry last week. He has become a target of attacks on social media.
Days after a decorated Army lieutenant colonel offered damaging testimony about President Trumps conduct on a July phone call with Ukraines leader, Mr. Trump stood on the South Lawn and issued a vague but ominous warning.
Youll be seeing very soon what comes out, Mr. Trump said on Saturday, referring to the officer, Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman.
Mr. Trump was not more specific. But an attack on Colonel Vindmans character and motives was already making its way from the dark corners of Mr. Trumps social media following to the front lines of the impeachment battle.
One day earlier, the right-wing commentator Jack Posobiec had retweeted a lengthy thread by a Florida man a fan of QAnon, a fringe conspiracy about the deep state claiming to have witnessed Colonel Vindman bash America in conversation with Russian officers during a joint military exercise in Germany in 2013.

All the ones saying this shit about Vindman are liars. The two main people accusing him of talking bad are nut cases.
Also, it was pointed out that if Vindman spoke to Russians, he would do so in Russian, not English.
When asked about this the accuser said ... they switched back and forth.
It was stated by a Vindman defender that Russian troops never spoke English and were proud of the fact.

Col. Vindman could care less what Putins punks are saying.
