Bronson wrote about the alleged Trump-Ukraine whistleblower. His name has reportedly been revealed: Eric Ciaramella. Yes, it’s everything you’d expect from an anti-Trump deep state operative. He’s an Obama holdover, a registered Democrat, a CIA agent, and worked with a Democratic National Committee operative, Alexandra Chalupa, to get dirt on Trump in 2016. Paul Sperry at Real Clear Investigations did the deep dive (via RCI):

Federal 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.

Prior to Ciaramella being named as the possible whistleblower, there were reports that this person had contacted Adam Schiff’s staff prior to filing the report. Schiff knew of its contents beforehand. Remember that this report is based on second-hand information, Ciaramella, or whoever the whistleblower is, never listened in on the July call, where there has been an allegation that Trump shook down the Ukraine political leadership into opening a corruption probe into Hunter Biden or risk having aid withheld. It’s shoddy. The impeachment process has up until recently been in the dark, where Schiff has been controlling the flow of information, even towards GOP members on the House Intelligence Committee, who are given a one-page summary of the interviews that can only be read in the presence of a Democratic staffer.

Well, I would be satisfied with the DoJ dealing with them. The SSCI is a corrupt cesspool, not going to get anything good out of them.

That this Eric C is still employed by the CI A is not only a travesty, but further makes me wonder WTH is Gina doing over there?

(Anyone notice how little mention she got in Trump's Sunday morning announcement.... none at all in the announcement part.... just a brief "and Gina too" during an answer in the Q&A part.... that's not accidental.

Trust me, at this point ears are trained to listen for what Trump doesn't mention, as much as what he does....)
