Everything Trump's defenders
feared about the whistleblower is true! According to a report from RealClear Investigations, the
whistleblower is 33-year-old Eric Ciaramella.
Ciaramella is a holdover
from the Obama administration and a registered Democrat. He's been accused of
leaking like crazy. He worked with Joe Biden, he's a vocal critic of President
Trump, and he invited a DNC operative inside the White House to attend
meetings. He also helped instigate the investigation into Russia collusion. So,
of course, Democrats believe his second-hand complaint about President Trump's
phone conversation with Ukranian President Zelensky over the actual transcript of the call itself.
"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.
The report claims that
federal records show Ciaramella attended a state luncheon with Joe Biden's
office back in October 2016. You'll never guess who else was there? Former FBI
Director James Comey and former National Intelligence Director James Clapper.
You can't make this stuff up! The report says it was strange for
Ciaramella, a relatively low-level GS-13 federal employee, to have been there.
And it describes Ciaramella's invitation as "unusual," saying it
"signaled he was politically connected inside the Obama White
House."
With
Ciaramella’s name long under wraps, interest in the intelligence analyst has
become 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. On the Internet, meanwhile, Ciaramella's name for weeks has
been bandied about on Twitter feeds and intelligence blogs as the suspected
person who blew the whistle on the president. The mainstream media are also
aware of his name.
No wonder Democrats and the
media have kept such a tight lid on the whistleblower's identity. Now William
Barr needs to investigate the origins of the whistleblower's complaint so we
can get to the true conspiracy here, which is more and more looking like just
another attempt to overturn the results of the 2016 election.
