Inside the Chaotic Early Days of Trumps Foreign Policy
The subtext here is clear: Trump's team were so incompetent, horrible and sexist that it was the duty of the "professionals" to thwart them.
For instance:
It was also emotionally exhausting, even by the standards of people whove worked in war zones and tried to stop genocides. Under Flynn, one NSC staffer at the time recalls sobbing on the way home every night. Others took up yoga or cooking. Some put on their office walls pictures of personal heroes as inspiration. Many found their work so ignored that they stopped putting in the typical 12- to 16-hour days and went home early. And just about everyone drank more.So, to these people in the NSC McMaster was the breath of fresh air between Horrible (Flynn) and Terrible (Boulton).
It's easy to understand the emotional and intellectual retardation of the whistle blower given that he was operating in this milleue. And comfortable with it.
Anyway, here is the paragraph in the article where he is mentioned:
Trump political appointees were believed to frequently talk to journalists who worked for conservative media outlets. For months, those outlets published names of career Civil and Foreign Service officers in the NSC and other government agencies whose loyalties they deemed suspect. Career staffers who had joined the U.S. government many years, sometimes decades, earlier were suddenly cast as Obama loyalists determined to derail Trumps agenda as part of a deep state.The people targeted included a State Department civil servant of Iranian descent whod joined government under the George W. Bush administration; a highly respected Foreign Service officer who dealt with Israeli issues; and an NSC staffer who dealt with European and Russian issues. The latter, Eric Ciaramella, reportedly left the NSC after receiving death threats. Another staffer targeted by conservative outlets was Fernando Cutz, a Latin America expert and top aide to McMaster; at one point he had to temporarily get police protection. (Cutz was maligned by conservative websites in part because he earned a masters degree from the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service, thus supposedly linking him to another Democratic president.)
In the article his name is hyper-linked to this Yahoo article:
How Alt-Right Bloggers Are Driving Out Top Civil Servants
Alt-Right how quaint. How 2017.. Anyway, the article in Yahoo is a hit job on Mike Cernovitch and his outing of McMaster's band of traitors within the Trump White House NSC. Here is the key opening:
On June 11, alt-right blogger Mike Cernovich published an article attacking an assistant to National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, claiming the previously low-profile civil servant wanted to sabotage President Donald Trump.Here again Ciaramella's name is hper-linked, this time to an article on Medium, which has since been deleted by the blogging platform:The piece described Eric Ciaramella as pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia and alleged, with no evidence, that he was possibly responsible for high-level leaks. Trending: Republicans Explain Trump Email: Democrats Did it, Too! The response to the piece included online threats of violence against Ciaramella, which contributed to his decision to leave his job at the the National Security Council a few weeks early, according to two sources familiar with the situation.
Although the harassment was not the only factor, one of the two sources said they distinctly got the impression that the departure was premature, partially because of right-wing harassment.
Ciaramella is not alone. Cernovich, who claims his Twitter feed receives over 100 million views every month, has been relentless in his criticism of McMaster and those around him.
Cernovichs writings and tweets have included false information, but sometimes they include details that only someone on the inside could know. For example, his tweets about Ciaramella were so specific that they documented meetings and lunches the NSC staffer had with certain people.
ERROR 410:I believe this was Cernovich's Medium account.
This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules.
