The Fake "Whistleblower" Who Gamed the System to Start the First Trump Impeachment May Be Forced to be a Witness in Joe Biden's Impeachment

The 'whistleblower' who sparked Donald Trump's first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden's office reveal.

If you remember, he faked his "whistleblower" status. Whistleblowers must have, according to the law, first-hand knowledge of some crime or dereliction they want to report. Eric Ciarmarella never had first-hand knowledge, he had heard it from someone without the guts to come forward. The Deep State bent over backwards to contrive a reason that he should be treated as a whistleblower anyway.

In 2019, then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella touched off a political firestorm when he anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country.
But four years earlier, while working as a national security analyst attached to then-Vice President Joe Biden's office, Ciaramella was a close adviser when Biden threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Ukraine unless it fired its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings. At the time, the corruption-riddled energy giant was paying Biden's son Hunter millions of dollars.
Those payments -- along with other evidence tying Joe Biden to his family's business dealings -- received little attention in 2019 as Ciaramella accused Trump of a corrupt quid pro quo. Neither did subsequent evidence indicating that Hunter Biden's associates had identified Shokin as a "key target." These matters are now part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
"It now seems there was material evidence that would have been used at the impeachment trial [to exonerate Trump]," said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, who has testified as an expert witness in the ongoing Biden impeachment inquiry. "Trump was alleging there was a conflict of interest with the Bidens, and the evidence could have challenged Biden's account and established his son's interest in the Shokin firing."
Ciaramella's role -- including high-level discussions with top Biden aides and Ukrainian prosecutors -- is only now coming to light thanks to the recent release of White House emails and photos from the National Archives.

Recall that Biden decided to demand that Ukraine fire the prosecutor looking into Burisma, and threatened to hold back a billion dollars in US funding until they did.

Later, Obama and the Deep State would pretend that this was all authorized by the State Department.

But it wasn't. The State Department never expressed any desire to see Shokin fired.

Biden just made that up on his own -- as a favor to his son, who needed to deliver to his paymasters to prove the Biden Brand was worth investing in.

And Eric Ciarmarella was among those who were "shocked" to see Biden freelancing and extorting a foreign country as a favor to his son:

The emails show Ciaramella expressed shock -- "Yikes" is what he wrote -- at Biden's move to withhold the $1 billion in aid from Kyiv, which represented a sudden shift in U.S. policy. They also show he was drawn into White House communications over how to control adverse publicity from Hunter taking a lucrative seat on Burisma's board.

Yet there is no evidence Ciaramella raised alarms about the questionable Biden business activities he witnessed firsthand, which is in sharp contrast to 2019. In that instance, he was galvanized into action after being told by White House colleague Alexander Vindman of an "improper" phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the call, Trump solicited Zelensky's help in investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden's role in the company.

Some former congressional investigators say Ciaramella effectively helped cover up a scandal far worse than what Trump was impeached over. What's more, he failed to disclose that he had a potential conflict of interest stemming from his connection to the matter Trump asked Zelensky to probe when he lodged his complaint against Trump. RealClearInvestigations was the first to identify the then-33-year-old Ciaramella as the anonymous impeachment "whistleblower," something major media continue to keep under tight wraps.

There's much more in the article.

But this irony is wonderful:

What Ciaramella witnessed and what he documented in notes he took during high-level Biden-Ukraine meetings could now be relevant to the active impeachment inquiry of President Biden. The House may have little choice but to hold the kind of hearings the Democrats blocked during the earlier impeachment by keeping Ciaramella's identity -- and his own potential conflict -- secret.
As the catalyst for Trump's impeachment, Ciaramella could now be a reluctant witness for Biden's.

47 Constitutional law experts are examining the implications of the precedent set by Senate Democrats on Wednesday, when they killed the impeachment trial of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, effectively dismissing it.

After the Senate deemed both articles of impeachment unconstitutional, the upper chamber adjourned, quashing all hope for a trial on Mayorkas' alleged crimes. This was historically significant, as an impeachment trial had never been dismissed, tabled or otherwise discarded without the accused official having first exited their role in one way or another.

"The Senate has no constitutional authority to rule that the articles approved by the House do not state impeachable offenses," explained Andrew McCarthy, a former chief assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York and a senior fellow at the National Review Institute.

86 Whistleblowers must have, according to the law, first-hand knowledge of some crime or dereliction they want to report. Eric Ciarmarella never had first-hand knowledge, he had heard it from someone without the guts to come forward.

Didn't Madison Cornbread do the same thing? Just repeat something that someone had told her.

The first time I hear any song, it gets frozen into 'the way it should sound.' Then when you go to a concert and things are different- which makes perfect sense except for the 'artists' who are lip synching- it hits my ear and brain as 'wrong' even if it is just normal variation that is not dissonant.

176 But, BOTH are pretty hopeless and dystopian by their very nature.

One interesting part of the fantasy series that I think they meant to be there but didn't really focus on is that it is the relatively peace and prosperity that civilization brings that dooms the world.

The elves were the first run of this. They got fat, lazy and bored and turned to decadence. Which created a Chaos god (Slaanesh) that almost destroyed the world.

Later the humans in turn build powerful stable civilizations in Europe (and maybe China) and it is the decadence of those civilizations that allow the Chaos gods to destroy everything.

Siegmar beat the early Chaos invasions because humans were less decadent and he failed in the last because they no longer pure enough...

177 >>> Yeah. It is one of those things that always bothered me about concerts. My hearing and memory work in very particular ways. The first time I hear any song, it gets frozen into 'the way it should sound.' Then when you go to a concert and things are different- which makes perfect sense except for the 'artists' who are lip synching- it hits my ear and brain as 'wrong' even if it is just normal variation that is not dissonant.
Posted by: Aetius451AD at April 19, 2024 03:49 PM (di6C2)

I have absolute perfect pitch. Not by training just born that way. It's synesthesia-sound based. That doesn't mean I sing perfectly by any means but I sure know when I'm off or others. It's interesting in concerts you find out what an artist's vocal range is operationally which might be completely different than thier albums and it sounds off.

I've never understood the perfect pitch thing. Musical scales are a manmade construct, and vary by culture.

Dammit! *makes note to start writing manifesto*

228 > All versions of socialism require government force to make people do whatever "the collective" claims they want done. And the amount of force/government required is directly proportional to how socialist the system is

I got into a brief argument once with a true believer. He was saying people will work because they'll love their jobs. I told him I love my job today, but if I get the same ration whether I work or not, I'm choosing not. He then told me I must not really love my job. I replied that if his utopia relies on people to be more dedicated and love their jobs more than me, no matter what the work is, it will fail spectacularly. He called me a fascist and stomped off.

229 Dan Abnett is one of the better liked WH40K authors. People say start with his Eisenhorn trilogy.

LOL. It actually fits in with Mel Brooks too.

232 If a person with perfect pitch hears a note, they can replicate it with their voice with none of the "slide" most people have to do. Perfect replication.
If they have some music training, they'll remember what middle E flat sounds like exactly. You could tune your orchestra to such a person.

So that would apply to non-Western musical scales as well?

There are at least two of us.

Yeah, even I have heard of the Eisenhorn stuff. I heard it was very good.

I always dabbled around the edges of the 40k stuff as I could see what a monster it would become for me.

There is a video out there somewhere where the paratroopers are tying up the bitch to lead her out to the courtyard to be shot and she slaps one of them.

They said she smelled really bad like she had a real nasty female problem that would make a Billy Goat puke.

Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at April 19, 2024 04:09 PM (9yWhg)

Our notes in our scales are just representations of tones, which are universal, so I would say yes.

You could call E flat "squatcho" and once heard perfect pitch would replicate squatcho.

Posted by: OneEyedJack at April 19, 2024 04:14 PM (FCbAQ)

240 So, all you perfect pitch people.
Where is the A tone, 438 cycles or 400?

Posted by: gourmand du jour wants to know at April 19, 2024 04:18 PM (MeG8a)

241 440 I mean not 400

hahahaha! That ain't me. Knowing what it is and having the gift are two different things.

The interweb thingy says 440 cycles.

243 One of the games the Dems play is claiming the EU also was against Shokin.

As if the EU isn't being lobbied by Burisma, too (they hired a Polish ex-EU guy at the same time as Huntie)

But here you see Ciaramella mention they will "circle back" with EU to "expedite" that matter.

You don't "circle back" unless you already had been doing it before...so they could have pressured the EU to help get Shokin fired, and thus the EU action are not evidence of their justification.
