Trump

[CHAPPERS]

For a town that leaks like a sieve, Washington has done an astonishingly effective job keeping from the American public the name of the anonymous “whistleblower" who triggered impeachment proceedings against President Trump — even though his identity is an open secret inside the Beltway.

More than two months after the official filed his complaint, pretty much all that’s known publicly about him is that he is a CIA analyst who at one point was detailed to the White House and is now back working at the CIA

But the name of a government official fitting that description — Eric Ciaramella — has been raised privately in impeachment depositions, according to officials with direct knowledge of the proceedings, as well as in at least one open hearing held by a House committee not involved in the impeachment inquiry. Fearing their anonymous witness could be exposed, Democrats this week blocked Republicans from asking more questions about him and intend to redact his name from all deposition transcripts.

documents reveal that the 33-year-old Ciaramella, a registered Democrat held over from the Obama White House, previously worked with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump who helped initiate the Russia “collusion” investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
Further, Ciaramella (pronounced char-a-MEL-ah) left his National Security Council posting in the White House’s West Wing in mid-2017 amid concerns about negative leaks to the media. He has since returned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

“He was accused of working against Trump and leaking against Trump,” said a former NSC official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters.

Also, Ciaramella huddled for “guidance” with the staff of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, including former colleagues also held over from the Obama era whom Schiff’s office had recently recruited from the NSC. Schiff is the lead prosecutor in the impeachment inquiry.

And Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton, led an effort to link the Republican campaign to the Russian government. “He knows her. He had her in the White House,” said one former co-worker, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.

Documents confirm the DNC opposition researcher attended at least one White House meeting with Ciaramella in November 2015. She visited the White House with a number of Ukrainian officials lobbying the Obama administration for aid for Ukraine.

With Ciaramella’s name long under wraps, interest in the intelligence analyst is so high that a handful of former colleagues have compiled a roughly 40-page research dossier on him. A classified version of the document is circulating on Capitol Hill, and briefings have been conducted based on it. One briefed Republican has been planning to unmask the whistleblower in a speech on the House floor.

Everyone knows who he is. CNN knows. The Washington Post knows. The New York Times knows. Congress knows. The White House knows. Even the president knows who he is,” said Fred Fleitz, a former CIA analyst and national security adviser to Trump, who has fielded dozens of calls from the media.

Yet a rare hush has swept across the Potomac. The usually gossipy nation’s capital remains uncharacteristically — and curiously — mum, especially considering the magnitude of this story, only the fourth presidential impeachment inquiry in U.S. history.

Funny how they use an anonymous whistle blower themselves isn't it.

Adam Schiff is as dodgy as ****.

Adam Schiff is as dodgy as ****.

Maybe he merits his own thread. Being a **** isn’t relevant to this one.

Hope they have not put him in Jeffrey Epstein's old cell ?

Roger will now be trumped and then stoned. He will be pardoned in a document littered with lies and then to cover those lies there will be more lying from the White House to Congress on why Roger was pardoned.

Whether you are for Trump or against what is clear is that the reason they want to impeach him is more to do with the fact they just don't want him as President as opposed to being upset for what it is claimed he did.

Would they have gone after Obama if he did the same?It's not even worth asking.This didn't fall into their laps.They went looking for it.

Democracy in both the UK and US is dead.

Would have been more appropriate to use Dolph Lungren's body from Rocky IV.

Am sure he is only testing at what point Republican voters will realise he is playing the biggest Candid Camera prank of all time!

And while Obama held that helmet (signed by a bunch of mega rich guys no less) the black population of Boston had a mean net worth of $8.

That's the true symbology of that image.

Despite all the overwhelming evidence it looks like the lying Trump will get off and the Republican Senators no matter what evidence comes before them (smoking gun and dead body wouldn't matter and Trump has already stated this) they favour party over the constitution and he will fulfill his 4 year term and be defeated for re-election.
