    Whistleblower Was Overheard in ’17 Discussing With Ally How to Remove Trump
    By Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations – January 22, 2020

    Barely two weeks after Donald Trump took office, Eric Ciaramella – the CIA analyst whose name was recently linked in a tweet by the president and mentioned by lawmakers as the anonymous “whistleblower” who touched off Trump’s impeachment – was overheard in the White House discussing with another staffer how to remove the newly elected president from office, according to former colleagues.

    Schiff is a liar… but he does have a “talent”.. in regard telling a story. I believe he has written scripts?
    This nonsense now is unfortunately the inevitable result of NOT INVESTIGATING, let alone indicting swamp Coup players starting in mid 2017.

    Sad to realize that the nasty (anti-trump) people we see giving testimony in the House are just a SMALL SAMPLE of all the may thousands of un-elected Bureaucrats in every department in the Washington swamp…. actively “resisting” Trump.

    I expect a long false narrative like this from Schiff… selective of facts and making stuff up. I am even prepared to listen to it and evaluate it for what it is. But after 2+ hours.. enough is enough. It is going to be very tedious listening to this crap for 3 days before getting to a response. I think it was a mistake to let it drag on like this.

    BTW I am NOT convinced that “Military aid” to Ukraine is a great long term thing to be doing anyway. I would guess that a lot of the money involved is siphoned off via ongoing corruption in the first place, and the shooting “war” against Russia has no foreseeable end.

      I thought Trump was excellent… especially explaining that he would PERSONALLY be happy for people like Bolton to testify, but…… it is a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY. Bolton is privy to Trumps thoughts on national leaders (which may be negative) and so could effect trade, war, peace etc. No president would want his private thoughts like that out in public. Trump admitted that he and Bolton parted on “bad terms” and he took the blame for that himself, and so Bolton may well be inclined to spill his guts.

    Schiff is a lying snake. His “pocket history of Ukraine” is that they gave up nuclear weapons because USA promised to protect them from Russia invasion…. yet Russia invaded after they gave up the nukes. The implication is that its “Trump’s fault”…yet…

    The annexation of Crimea by Russia on 18 March 2014 …..OBAMA DID NOTHING!!

    The agreement was “The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances” 5 December 1994. NOT TRUMP agreement.

    Schiff Lies Again: Ukraine is an American “ally”
    This is at least the 4th time Schiff has falsely claimed that Ukraine is an American ally.

    They’re not. They’re a strategic partner.

    Secret Document?
    Chief Justice Roberts Announces That A Classified Document Produced by House Managers Will Not Be Made Public

    Maybe… (just a guess)… the missing Transcript from House basement depositions? Michael Atkinson?
    That needs to be released…. I dont think it should be secret. It may well reveal the name that may not be uttered… Eric Ciaramella

      [b][size=150]Update…[/size][/b]

      [b][size=150]Supplemental testimony by Pence aide Jennifer Williams to be added to the articles of impeachment[/size][/b]
      From CNN’s Manu Raju

      At the end of tonight’s proceedings in the Senate impeachment trial, Chief Justice John Roberts said a “a single one paged classified document identified by the House managers for filing with the Secretary of the Senate” will be made available for senators to review in a classified setting.

      The document pertains to supplemental testimony from Jennifer Williams, a national security aide to Vice President Mike Pence who testified before the House impeachment inquiry in November.

      “On November 26, 2019, the House Intelligence Committee received supplemental testimony from Jennifer Williams, assistant to Vice President Mike Pence. On December 11, 2019, after consultation with the ranking minority member, Chairman Schiff transmitted that supplemental testimony to the House Judiciary Committee to be made part of the record in consideration of articles of impeachment,” a Democratic official working on the impeachment trial said in a written statement.

      The official added: “Although there appears to be no basis for keeping it classified, the Office of the Vice President has ignored two requests to declassify this document. This supplemental testimony will allow the Senate to see further corroborative evidence as it considers articles of impeachment, and, if declassified, it would provide the public further understanding of the events in question.”

      More on Williams’ testimony from November: Williams described President Trump’s July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in her deposition as “inappropriate.” Trump’s July 25 call is at the center of the impeachment trial, in which a whistleblower complaint alleges Trump asked for dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden, a 2020 presidential rival, and his son Hunter Biden. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either Biden in Ukraine.

        There is also no evidence that Pres Trump asked for “dirt” on QuidProJoe or Where’s Hunter, nor is there any evidence of Pres Trump’s “wrongdoing,” but CN&N never allows facts to get in their way.

        Was Williams a direct or hearsay witness? Was Williams giving straight facts or her own opinion? Why did VP Pence not declassify?
        Curious where Williams is now – still in VP Pence’s office? If so, bet she is no longer trusted. Most likely just another plant. imo

    My main concern is….. as much as I hate Schiff.. he is presenting his narrative well. He is not being honest of course. He is INVENTING what he interprets evidence to mean, rather that what the evidence actually is… but that is done by real trial lawyers often as well, and even what people are thinking… it plays to a Jury members emotions rather than rational consideration of the evidence. The Senators should be better than that… but the Flaky ones are NOT!
    The format of this thing means that Schiff gets to “Imprint” his narrative in the minds of Senators (and viewers)… an an Imprinted notion can be hard to replace with anything else… especially after 3 days. In a proper trial, the opening statement is only an hour or 2 and the Defense get to CROSS EXAMINE witnesses straight after they give evidence… not 3 days later.
