Wouldn't you be wired up if your life had been ruined by coming forward? I know I would be.  This "hearing" was a sham anyway. All both sides did was attempt to rake her and her name thru the mud even more. At that point, I would've quit answering the pointed questions about character. They effectively put her on trial as a whistleblower. A whistleblower who exposed the sham election for what it is.  Had the whole Fed Legislative Branch done this to Vindman, it would've been story after story about how unfair and evil they are toward a "patriotic" American. And if you remember, that's not what happened. It isn't what happened here, either. One one hand, you have a treasonous asshat "whistleblower" who worked under Trump to undermine our foreign policy re: Ukraine & Russia. And he was practically given an award for it. On the other, a patriotic woman ensensed at what she saw and decided to come forward, not expecting to have her life ruined as a result, but whose life has been ruined anyway.  That's one way you know she's truthful. Because now, it's personal.
