The insurrectionists defense lawyers can certainly try to use the argument that trump is to blame for their client's actions but that should not hold up in civilian court. (His involvement should have been legally addressed already and is a different matter.)

Babbit was a veteran, not a soldier on active duty. Therefore, trump was nothing more than a deranged dictator wannabe riling up his cult to commit seditious acts. He would have only been her Commander in Chief if she was on active duty. (And the act of any active duty soldier committing insurrection on the clear orders of a Commander in Chief takes us into an entirely different scenario.) As a civilian she bears full responsibility for choosing to join a cult and then choosing to do what the cult's leader told her to do.

I am glad that Vindman used his critical thinking skills when he witnessed corrupt discussions that the occupier of our Oval office committed. He was an active person in the military and he did the right thing to question a traitor to our country.

He is a honorable man and soldier. His stolen promotion (by trump) should be awarded to him with back pay.

With honors! And I am so glad to see that he is speaking and writing and I believe will have a much larger impact on our world with his voice. He is one of the heroes in this homegrown terrorist infiltration by the republicans and hostile foreign entities.
