Ukrainian-born Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (US Army Ret.) may be about to pay the ultimate price for his crimes against America if the world’s richest man has any say.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Vindman was a crucial figure in the first impeachment of President Trump over his “perfect” phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019. But he was caught repeatedly lying during his testimony before Congress, which made him a leftist hero.

The truth is that Vindman was a leaker who thought his opinions overruled the Trump administration. He was moved from the White House with his twin brother (who was unfortunately elected to Congress this month) after his unsuccessful attempt, along with Eric Ciaramella, to remove the sitting president from office.

Even Vindman’s boss testified that he was a leaker and a liar who could not be trusted.

Vindman has now made things worse for himself after hurling a disgusting smear toward X owner and DOGE co-chairman Elon Musk in a late October MSNBC interview uncovered by X users on Wednesday.

In the interview, Vindman said Russian President Vladimir Putin is using Musk to do his bidding. This includes Musk potentially selling state secrets to Russia.

“Clearly, Putin has a type. He likes narcissists and egomaniacs that he knows as a case officer can easily pander to manipulate, to do his dirty work,” Vindman said. “Russia has been using different levers — whether that’s corruption networks, in this case, its influencers like Donald Trump, like Elon Musk, to kind of sow discord.”

“It’s possible that some of that is seeping through,” Vindman added. “He’s (Putin) been using the richest man in the world to do his bidding. In some cases, that’s encouraging him probably to support Donald Trump.

“That’s not speculation. We see how far Elon has gone. And then using Twitter as a disinformation platform.”

After seeing this interview, Musk delivered harrowing news to Vindman: because he is on the payroll of Ukrainian oligarchs and committed treason against America, he must pay “the appropriate penalty.”

As TGP readers know, the highest possible penalty for treason is the death penalty. Could Musk be suggesting this?

Regardless of Vindman’s ultimate punishment, Musk’s response is yet another promising sign the incoming Trump Administration will make bad government actors pay for deceiving the American people and trying to ruin Trump’s life. This is indispensable to restoring trust in the federal government among Trump supporters.
