Jerry Dunleavy writes for JustTheNews.com about interesting new information about impeachment efforts during President Donald Trump’s first term.
Years after a 2019 impeachment furor aimed at President Donald Trump, new facts have slowly emerged about the alleged whistleblower whose complaint sparked the Democrat-led effort, including through emails, testimony, and newly-declassified memos which shine a light on the true origins of the saga.
Memos declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the request of Just the News investigators for the intelligence community inspector general who first handled the CIA analyst’s complaint flagged him for having a “potential for bias,” elicited an apology from him for misleading the probe about his prior contact with staffers on the Democrat-led House Intelligence Committee, criticized GOP congressmen, asked to hide his complaint from Republicans on the committee, and more.
The watchdog’s investigators were also acutely aware the whistle-blower’s allegations were based solely on second-hand or third-hand accounts about what Trump was alleged to have done and had worked on his whistle-blower efforts with a witness whose name was redacted and who told investigators that he was connected to disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok and that he had co-authored the flawed intelligence community assessment on alleged Russian meddling in 2016.
The new memos also laid out multiple potential biases tied to Eric Ciaramella’s Democratic registration, his work for Joe Biden, his knowledge of corruption-related discussions on Ukraine, his view that he had been pushed out of the Trump National Security Council (NSC) because of “right wing bloggers,” and more — some of which were never made public.
The revelations in the memos are the most explosive — but not the only — revelations about the whistle-blower that have emerged in recent years, with many of the revelations only becoming public months or years after the Ukraine-related impeachment effort against Trump. Ciaramella’s key role in pushing the Biden-led Obama Administration efforts in Ukraine did not fully emerge until after the failed Trump impeachment effort.
