ROGER KIMBALL: Adam Schiff, ‘Lt. Col.’ Vindman and the impeachment ratings flop. “The Democrats thought they could transform this tawdry revenge fantasy into reality. It isn’t working. . . . Lt. Col. Vindman loves his uniform — all those medals and embroidery — and he thought that Donald Trump was contravening the policies endorsed by the National Security Council. That is the essence of his complaint. But that is just too bad for the Lt. Col. He does not set the policies. The president of the United States does.”

Also, how did so many once-masculine fields, ranging from sports journalism to the CIA, become dominated by prissy, self-important weasels? See also, Peter Strzok.
