Eric Ciaramella, the alleged Ukraine whistleblower, was long suspected of deliberately attempting to damage President Trump's foreign policy from the inside and had access to policy information far beyond his regional expertise, according to former National Security Council officials.
Ciaramella, 33, a career CIA analyst, was Ukraine director on the NSC toward the end of the Obama administration and stayed there during the first few months of the Trump administration, when he was acting senior director for European and Russian affairs and then special assistant to Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was Trump's national security adviser, until he left the White House in summer 2017.
Now a deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, Ciaramella is suspected of being the official who filed a complaint about a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Democrats are pursuing the impeachment of Trump, accusing him of linking Ukrainian military aid to investigating corruption related to business dealings by former vice president Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
“The person that I always felt extremely uncomfortable around was Eric Ciaramella. He was one of the few guys around who seemed to know where the filing cabinets were, so to speak,” one former official told the Washington Examiner, adding that Ciaramella was antagonistic at an early Trump administration gathering when it was said that the goal was to turn Trump’s campaign promises and platform into policy.
When the issue of Ukraine was brought up at a policy meeting, Ciaramella mentioned aid to Ukraine. He became visibly upset, the official recounted, when he was told that Trump would review Ukraine policy and that it would likely not be the same as President Barack Obama’s.

Translation. Coffee boy.
He sure acted as a spy. Charge him and see what turns up at his trial.
Eric Ciaramella is a criminal not a Whistleblower. The Whistleblower statute does not cover him.
He should be charged with espionage and tried. If he has caused the death of anyone with his leaking and so called whistleblowing, he should receive a sentence of capital punishment.
Every indibation is that he also was a bagman for the Biden Obama grift operation in the Ukraine.
Spy turncoat plant mole traitor liar dem operative.
Not a whistle blower.
More like Schiff’s sock puppet.
He should be charged with espionage and tried. ****
Yes. See my post I put up just before I saw yours.
Grate minds love cheese.
Yeah ... funny how it works that way. New president, new policy. Elections have consequences.
Sickening at all the traitorous bastards among the Deep state....He needs to be made an example by full prosecution of his ass!And Schiff needs the same punishment as he was/is complicit in the espionage and traitorous behavior.Only by sending someone like him to jail for the rest of his miserable life will it finally get thru to other SOBs that we are tired of people who think they are above the law!
All the Congress dem members are guilty as hell also as they stay silent.
Pelosi Schumer Nadler top tier criminals. Gitmo material if they don't qualify for the gallows.
He sure acted as a spy. Charge him and see what turns up at his trial.****
Yup
And see WHO turns up at the trial too...
Wait. Are they saying this guy was responsible for most of the leaks coming out of the White House?
Explain how planting an agent of the Democrat party in the White House is fundamentally different from planting a big on the DNC phones at the Watergate.
“and had access to policy information far beyond his regional expertise, “
They dangled cheese in front of a mouse
Spell check big = bug
Good job!
Really?
You can’t see the difference between trying to learn a political party’s plans and leaking national security information?
Not defending what was done during Watergate was ok but to say the two are equal is silly.
Was Eric ALSO getting a CUT of HUNTER’s $80,000.00 a MONTH PAYOLA??? Check his BANK ACCOUNTS!
Perhaps I am “silly” but to me political esponaige is political esponaige. Still a crime and covering it up, as Schiff is doing, is also a political crime.
Clearance for these enemies should have been halted on day one but they are all still their from the a##clowns administration, this is a problem! WHY?
Russian spy.

The guy’s a plant. He and one other guy didn’t look directly at the camera in that one photo. We need to find out who the other guy is, too.
