Let’s hope this is not true.

I would be shocked if that were true. Even if they hacked it, encryption would render what they get pretty useless I would think. But I have never looked into Starlink
the article says they were given a username and password.

Wouldn't that get past encryption? Kind of like opening the gate to the castle.

There are two claims. One is they had a username/password. Yes, that gets them the data.

THe other was this, "What that means is that, from our understanding, Russia has a direct pipeline of information through Starlink, which means that anything going through Starlink is going to Russia."

That sounds different, as in all data going through Starlink goes to Russia. The bits might, but if I am using Starlink to access my bank, the packets are encrypted and it wouldn't do Russia any good (until quantum computing). That is the part I don't think can be true. Again, I don't work with Starlink in any way.
 
Gotta be true - everyone knows that whistleblowers don't lie. Well, except for the Republican ones.
The only proper thing to do with whistleblowers is to be skeptical until verified, which is less likely than disproven. We’ll either see corroboration or this will fade away like most whistleblowers do.

Color me skeptical... look at Andrew Bakaj's background


He's basically Trump's biggest hater. That doesn't necessarily mean he is wrong or incorrect, but given his history, it seems like he clearly is agenda-based vs. fact-based.
Don't recognize him. He may have an agenda for sure, that doesn't matter so much to me whether a lawyer has an agenda one way or the next--he still has to prove his case. Back in the day a jury used to hate expert witnesses who testified just for the plaintiff or just for the defense. Nowawadays, they don't care so much because juries figured stuff out that everyone is a hired gun. I have no idea if any of this is true--it is disturbing, but initial impression is that it seemed to be unlikely. Hard to tell when you get a small video and sound byte from:

I sure recall Vindman being called a liar...
Not by me.

A publicity hound and self-promoter? Definitely.

"Vindman, unlike other Democratic “star witnesses,” was at least on the July 25 phone call between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, that set off the inquiry.

But Vindman was unreliable and had questionable judgment, according to his own outgoing superior, Tim Morrison, the National Security Council’s senior director for European affairs.

In fact, Morrison viewed Vindman as so untrustworthy that he opted to exclude him from his conversations with William Taylor, the senior US diplomat in Ukraine.

Vindman had an “unfortunate habit,” Morrison thought, of defying the sprawling executive branch’s carefully delineated chain of command.
Vindman’s testimony vindicates Morrison’s dripping disdain for his former subordinate."
