A new report from RealClearInvestigations reveals that the anti-Trump “whistleblower” who prompted the current impeachment proceedings against President Trump is a registered Democrat who worked with a Democratic National Committee opposition researcher who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
Federal documents reveal that the whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella, previously worked in the Obama administration with former Vice President Joe Biden and former CIA Director John Brennan. RealClear reports that Ciaramella remained there into the Trump administration, and headed the Ukraine desk at the National Security Council, eventually transitioning into the West Wing, until June 2017.
He then “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,” RealClearInvestigations reported. Ciaramella is a Yale graduate who reportedly speaks Russian, Ukrainian, and Arabic.
Officials told RealClear that Ciaramella strongly opposed Trump’s foreign policy.
“He didn’t exactly hide his passion with respect to what he thought was the right thing to do with Ukraine and Russia, and his views were at odds with the president’s policies,” a former senior White House official said.
Politico reported on a Ukrainian-American woman who consulted for the Democratic National Committee, and “met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia.” The woman, Alexandra Chalupa, was paid $412,000 from 2004 to June 2016 by the DNC.
Ciaramella invited Chalupa to meetings and events at the White House, RealClear reported, documents confirming one occasion in November 2015. She also visited the White House with Ukrainian lobbyists seeking aid from Obama.
Chalupa said she shared her findings with both the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Politico reports that “Chalupa told a senior DNC official that, when it came to Trump’s campaign, ‘I felt there was a Russia connection.'” Chalupa also said that the Ukrainian embassy worked directly with reporters digging for Trump-Russia ties.
Before Ciaramella filed his “whistleblower complaint,” he sought “guidance” from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s staff and other Obama-era NSC staff recently employed by Schiff’s office. Before this “guidance” was public knowledge, the Chairman was adamant on hearing the “whistleblower” testimony.
“We need to speak with the whistleblower,” Schiff and other Democrats proclaimed. As soon as Ciaramella’s partisanship and collaboration was discovered, Schiff and the Democrats flipped to preventing the testimony from happening and moving their hearings behind closed doors.

Good idea except funding comes from the House and the Democrats own it.
But we will know. That is half of the voting population. Plus the moderates will know too.
And yes, we will make a difference. We will not it allow it to go away. Because it is our duty as US citizens to make sure that we use our freedom to fix whatever ills are buried in Ukraine. It is our duty! Our responsibility. Otherwise, we have no reason to complain when the US turns bad. It is on us.
I just wish that it would all become public so that we can make the right decision. An informed decision. And may God bless us and inspire us to do the right thing.
If nothing happened in Ukraine, the we need to know that too.
90 Percent of the Dem base know nothing about Biden or his son because the MSM won’t report it..................
Mention any of it to any democrat and they look at you like you were speaking Klingon................

All this impeach about Ukraine stuff is about Trump beginning to uncover all the grifting, grafting, corrupt, treasonous stuff that went on in Ukraine, including 2016 election interference. The reason so many people messed their pants when they heard, or heard about, what Trump said on the call is that at the bottom of this Donkey pile in Ukraine is Obama and all the intel sources he used against Trump.
Leaker #1 was NSC and a confederate of Chalupa, who was working with Ukraine to get dirt. He was also best buds with NSC Misko, who moved to Schiff’s committee just before the leaker sent his info to Schiff. Trump should kick every damn person from NSC or any of the other 17 intel agencies out of the White House until he can vet them through Pompeo or Barr.
Every time a Pub is sent out to fight for Trump and a sane government, they need to bring organizational charts linking all these conspirators so people can see the visual links in this Intel Cartel who think they should be running this country.
Misko also worked for the Hillary 2016 Presidential Campaign.
The nerd spied on the US government. He should be executed for his spying.
GWB and Jeb knew about it.
Bush 41 was head of the CIA and someone leaked the FISA info to the Bush Family in April-May of 2016.
This is why the Bush Family said Trump was unfit and refused to vote for him.
This is also why Bill Clinton was staying so close buddies with GWB.
He wanted to make sure the leaks got to him.
The GOP-e is active in covering this up as they don’t want the Base to know the GOP-e was involved too.
Where does this guy work now ? I think no one will trust him now even the Dems
None dare call it treason......
Yup. He was upset because he is about to be outed and go to jail for domestic espionage.
