Here’s the ‘Whistleblower’ … This Charade MUST STOP NOW!

Here’s the ‘Whistleblower’ … This Charade MUST STOP NOW!

Are you sitting down?

RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry has put a name to the “whistleblower” whose complaint about the President’s phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky touched off the closed-door impeachment “inquiry” currently going on behind closed doors. His identity apparently had been an open secret around Washington but hadn’t been revealed to the general public. Oh, and if this is the person, then we also know the name of his former boss:

John Brennan. The guy worked for the CIA. In fact, he’s still there.

Meet Eric Ciaramella

When you read more about him, you’ll understand completely why Adam Schiff was NEVER going to let this person testify — certainly never answer Republicans’ questions. It would completely demolish the basis for the Intel Committee’s secret “inquiry.” He is 33-year-old Eric Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House who has worked previously for both Brennan and …(drum roll, please) … Joe Biden. Brennan, as we know, loathes Trump and helped start the FBI’s “Trump/Russia” probe while Trump was running for President. And Biden was “overseeing” Ukraine when corrupt officials there were apparently providing information against Trump for the Steele “dossier.”

In mid-2017, Ciaramella was accused of leaking negative information about new President Trump and left his National Security Council post in the White House West Wing. He now works at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

It gets worse: according to Sperry, Ciaramella “huddled for guidance” with Schiff staffers, including other Obama holdovers whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited from the NSC.

Connected to Bogus Steele Dossier

AND … he worked with Alexandra Chalupa, the Ukrainian-born DNC operative whose job was to dig up dirt on Trump. He knew her and invited her to the White House for meetings. There’s even a record of her visiting the White House as part of a group of Ukrainian officials lobbying the Obama administration for aid to Ukraine. We know now that she was the DNC contact in Ukraine tasked with receiving information beneficial to Hillary.

AND … as a CIA officer specializing in Russia and Ukraine, he was sent by the agency (reportedly by Brennan) to the NSC in 2015 to work with … (another drum roll, please) … Susan Rice, then Obama’s national security adviser. He also worked “closely” with then-Vice President Biden. According to federal records, this relatively low-level GS-13 federal employee was invited by Biden to an October 2016 state luncheon was also attended by Brennan, James Comey and James Clapper. This would be a sign he was unusually well connected inside the Obama White House.

Everyone Knows Who He Is

Fred Fleitz, a CIA analyst and national security adviser to Trump, said “Everyone [in Washington] knows who he is. CNN knows. The Washington Post knows. The New York Times knows. Even the President knows who he is.” Yet because of legal “whistleblower” protections, his anonymity was officially being preserved. And Adam Schiff’s committee was just going on its merry way, with Schiff being unbelievably compromised. He should close up shop and send everybody home — NOW.

Recall that Schiff lied outrageously about the “whistleblower,” denying any contact with this individual. We know now that this person is a former colleague of members of Schiff’s congressional staff. What we need at this point are all the details of that contact: where, when, with whom, what was said, how he came to be with the anti-Trump attorneys at Whistleblower Aid.

According to Sperry, “RealClearInvestigations is disclosing the name because of the public’s interest in learning details of an effort to remove a sitting President from office.” And whistleblower protections might not apply because, as even the IG has said, his status is “complicated” by the fact that his accusations were hearsay and he has “some indicia of an arguable political bias…in favor of a rival political candidate.” In other words, our suspicions that the “whistleblower” wasn’t really a whistleblower but, rather, a leaker are supported by the facts.  Let’s hope the IG has connected the various dots.

Yet the Star Chamber Rolls On

This revelation comes the night before Speaker Nancy Pelosi has scheduled a vote to approve the “rules” (ha) for Schiff’s committee to proceed with his ongoing secret “inquiry” that isn’t an inquiry. The rules are a joke; they let Schiff run the hearings like a dictator and refuse President Trump the due process rights that were afforded Nixon and Clinton. Example: Republicans can now subpoena witnesses … IF those witnesses are approved by Schiff.

The Democrats (and some Republican anti-Trumpers; you know who you are) want to take down Trump, and they don’t care how they do it. They’ll destroy the office of President if they have to. They’ll use phony, set-up garbage like this if they have to. This charade has to stop NOW.

A person does not know how deep this is until it keeps coming out.. and if hillary had been elected, we would not know any of this and the would be headlong into globalism.

it’s a battle of good vs evil and this world is mostly evil.. the “good” are not the majority, but the “good” are in the right seat to fight this war.

The Whistleblower and the fake colonel are offering no new revelations but are only relating their opinions and concerns about the call which has already been released in transcript form. The Ukraine “scandal” is even weaker that Russiagate.

So it turns out this “impeachment” scam is all about the DC Swamp criminals trying to divert attention off the current AG investigation. No wonder they were all panicked by the call, they knew the noose was being slipped over their heads.

Could be the guy, but confirmation from a second source would be helpful on this.

And worse for the Democrat Fascists, their narrative that this was an “incomplete transcript” being pushed by their toadies in the Fake News was nuked by the Democrats own “star witness”. AV admitted in his testimony the transcript was complete and accurate

In any sane world this ends the Neo Fascist fraud hearings in the US Democrat Clown House.

They need to see if they can connect this guy to the New York Times op-ed "I Am Part Of The Resistance In The Trump White House" (behind paywall) from September 5, 2018.

The Gutless Other Party (GOP) can’t come out from under their desks long enough to provide any REAL response.

Or we can just call them the Girlieman Other Party. Constantly conflicted with their undies in a bunch.

What does it matter who wants to blow about a conversation he heard about that we all can read for ourselves.. ? So if we find a blower who claims the sun did not rise this morning because a worm told him so, even though our eyes know,otherwise , this is somehow a now legal requirement that we investigate, and this is now what constitutes news ? Has the world gone mad?

The Washington Post is absolutely correct...Democracy DOES Die in Darkness. Why then, is the mainstream media completely manipulating the narrative surrounding everything the Democrats have done in Ukraine? Why are they hiding the FACTS? Why aren't they digging for me? Glenn Beck presents a NEW Ukraine special, explaining exactly how the media -- and the Democrats -- are working so hard to hide the truth from YOU.

Watch the whole special here:

I don’t think Graham’s afraid...I just think neither he nor anybody else in the GOP knows wheat to do, because this whole “hearings” farce is completely off the wall. And every time the GOP comes up with a tactic to deal with one thing, the Dems veer off and come up with another, equally crazy and, in my opinion, illegal.

I do think calling Senate hearings would be a good idea though.
