Pictured: Melania Trump (in white hat) and Deep State informant Eric Ciaramella (boxed upper left center).
Eric Ciaramella (b. 1986, Prospect, Connecticut[1]) is a left-wingDeep State informant who was assigned to the White House. Ciaramella held the positions of National Security Council director for Ukraine under Susan Rice and director of Baltic and Eastern European Affairs in the Office of Vice President Joe Biden.[2] Ciaramella is currently a deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council under the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).[3] Ciaramella set the Trump impeachment inquiry in motion.
As the 2016 presidential primaries got underway, Ciaramella hosted Ukrainian prosecutors on January 19, 2016 at the White House and instructed them to clear Hunter Biden and frame Paul Manafort.
Ciaramella was detailed to the White House by Russia collusion hoax mastermind John Brennan in the Summer of 2016. Mike Cernovich reported that "[i]n fall of 2016 as Obama’s director for Ukraine on the NSC, Ciaramella was the main force pushing Trump-Russia conspiracy theories." national Security AdvisorH.R. McMaster appointed Ciaramella, a former Susan Rice aide, to be his personal flunky.[6] Ciaramella would have unfettered access to McMaster’s conversations with foreign leaders.[7]
Ciaramella, who has been derided by critics as a beta male,[8] is represented by kiddie-porn lawyer Mark Zaid.[9]
Subversion of American democracy from within the White House
Alexandra Chalupa was hired by the DNC during the 2016 election and worked with the Ukrainian government to dig up dirt on Donald Trump and his former campaign manager Paul Manafort. White House visitor logs revealed Chalupa visited the White House 27 times during Ciaramella's tenure at the White House.[10] The logs show that Chalupa's point of contact at the White House for entry was Ciaramella. Chalupa visited on December 9th 2015 that included Rachel Gould Brenner, the adviser to the UN Ambassador Samantha Power. Power was behind the unmasking of General Mike Flynn and other officials.
Ciaramella’s immediate boss at the Obama White House was Charles Kupchan. He was also a “Special Assistant to President Obama”. They both reported directly to Susan Rice. Kupchan is a close friend of Hillary Clinton sycophant Sydney Blumenthal, who helped create the Steele dossier from Ukrainian sources.
Ciaramella also invited Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland. Nuland met with Ciaramella on June 17, 2016. Nuland had extensive involvement with the Clinton funded Steele dossier. Nuland was involved in the Obama State Department's urgent gathering of classified Russia investigation information and disseminating it to members of Congress within hours of Trump taking office.
Also on White House visitor logs admitted by Ciaramella was Artem Sytnyk, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) director who visited on January 19, 2016, one day prior to President' Trump's inauguration. Artem Sytnyk was convicted on December 10, 2018 of interference in the U.S. 2016 presidential election along with Serhiy Leshchenko in a Ukrainian court.[11] Syntyk and Leshchenko gave Chalupa and Ciaramella official documents critical of Paul Manafort, leading to Manafort's resignation as Trump's campaign manager. Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska suing Manafort over a failed Ukrainian cable TV investment. Leaked tapes of Sytnyk confirm that that Ukrainian officials colluded with the DNC to hurt Donald Trump and help the Clinton campaign.</font>[12]
Biden aide
Ciaramella was involved in the 2016 quid pro quo about the $1 billion dollar loan guarantee Joe Biden held up until prosecutor Victor Shokin was fired.
In a leaked email from Wikileaks Sidney Blumenthal writes Hillary that “My friend Charles Kupchan quickly provided some contact information (in Ukraine). Charlie is now a professor at Georgetown University. If you need more contacts I can get them from friends in Paris”.
Blumenthal funneled his stream of disinformation on Trump and Manafort directly to Victoria Nuland. Ciaramella is cc’d on a series of emails from Victoria Nuland to Geoffrey Pratt, former Ambassador to Ukraine. The emails dealt with the loan guarantees Joe Biden was withholding from Ukraine as a quid pro quo until the Prosecutor Viktor Shokin was fired. Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings and a George Soros nonprofit that was searching for dirt on Trump and Manafort.
When Shokin was fired both investigations were stopped. The Ambassador receiving and passing on that dirt to Victoria Nuland and the DNC was none other than Adam Schiff hero, Hillary partisan, and Trump hater, Ambassador Marie Yovanovich.
Clinton donor Victor Pinchuk sent Ukrainian Member of Parliament Olga Bielkova to meet with Ciaramella. One day before Bielkova also met with infamous John McCain aide David Kramer. Kramer would go on to leak the Steele Dossier to Buzzfeed in January 2017 just before Donald Trump’s inauguration.
White House logs reveal Ciaramella met with Alexandra Chalupa 27 times in the White House. The following individuals also met with Ciaramella at the Obama White House:
Andriy Telizhenko: a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington tasked with organizing a January 19, 2016 White House the meeting where Obama administration officials asked to clear Hunter Biden and Burisma and reopen the case of Paul Manafort.[14]
Victoria Nuland: who at the time was assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian Affairs met with Ciaramella on June 17, 2016., five days after Christopher Steele was hired by FusionGPS. Nuland had extensive involvement with Clinton-funded Steele dossier.[15] Nuland was also involved in the Obama State Department’s “urgent” gathering of classified Russia investigation information and disseminating it to members of Congress within hours of Trump taking office.[16]
Artem Sytnyk: the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Bureau director visited on January 19, 2016. On October 7, 2019, the Daily Wire reported leaked tapes show Sytnyk confirming that the Ukrainians helped the Clinton campaign.
Daria Kaleniuk: Co-founder and executive director of the Soros-funded Anticorruption Action Center (AntAC) in Ukraine. She visited on December 9, 2015. The Hill reported that in April 2016, during the U.S. presidential race, the U.S. Embassy under Obama in Kiev, “took the rare step of trying to press the Ukrainian government to back off its investigation of both the U.S. aid and (AntAC).”
Gina Lentine: Now a senior program officer at Freedom House, she was formerly the Eurasia program coordinator at Soros funded Open Society Foundations. She visited on March 16, 2016.
Rachel Goldbrenner: Now an NYU law professor, she was at that time an advisor to then-Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power. Samantha Power and her staff were responsible for the illegal unmasking of more than 260 American citizens targeted by illegal FISA abuse.[17] Goldbrenner visited on both January 15, 2016 and August 8, 2016.
Orly Keiner: A foreign affairs officer at the State Department who is a Russia specialist. She is also the wife of State Department Legal Advisor James P. Bair. She visited on both March 4, 2016 and June 20, 2015.
Nazar Kholodnitzky: The lead anti-corruption prosecutor in Ukraine. He visited on January 19, 2016. On March 7, 2019, The Associated Press reported that the then-U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch called for him to be fired.
Michael Kimmage: Professor of History at Catholic University of America, at the time was with the State Department’s policy planning staff where specialized in Russia and Ukraine issues. He is a fellow at the German Marshall Fund. He was also one of the signatories to the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group Statement of Principles. He visited on October 26, 2015.
James Melville: Then-recently confirmed as Obama’s Ambassador to Estonia, visited on September 9, 2015. On June 29, 2018, Foreign Policy reported that Melville resigned in protest of Trump.
Clearing Burisma and framing Manafort
25 April. 2019.How the Obama White House engaged Ukraine to give Russia collusion narrative an early boost, by John Solomon.[18]
In January 2016 the Obama White House summoned Ukrainian authorities to Washington. The meeting brought some of Ukraine’s top corruption prosecutors and investigators face to face with Eric Ciaramella and members of former President Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), FBI, State Department and Department of Justice (DOJ). Ukrainian participants said it didn’t take long to realize the Americans’ objectives included two politically hot investigations: one involving Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and one involving Paul Manafort's lobbying firm, linked closely to then-candidate Trump.
Ciaramella/Telizhenko White House meeting confirmed.
U.S. officials “kept talking about how important it was that all of our anti-corruption efforts be united,” said Andrii (Andriy, per White House visitor logs) Telizhenko, then a political officer in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington tasked with organizing the meeting.
Telizhenko said U.S. officials said that they had an interest in reviving a closed 2014 investigation into payments to U.S. figures from Ukraine’s Russia-backed Party of Regions. That 2014 investigation was focused on Manafort. The FBI closed the case without charging Manafort.
DOJ officials asking investigators from Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) if they could help find new evidence about the Party of Regions’ payments and its dealings with Americans. “It was definitely the case that led to the charges against Manafort and the leak to U.S. media during the 2016 election,” Telizhenko said.
Nazar Kholodnytskyy, Ukraine’s chief anti-corruption prosecutor, said he soon saw evidence in Ukraine of political meddling in the U.S. election. Kholodnytskyy said the key evidence against Manafort — a ledger showing payments from the Party of Regions — was known to Ukrainian authorities since 2014 but was suddenly released in May 2016 by the NABU, after Manafort was named Trump’s campaign chairman: “Somebody kept this black ledger secret for two years and then showed it to the public and the U.S. media. It was extremely suspicious.” Kholodnytskyy said he explicitly instructed NABU investigators who were working with American authorities not to share the ledger with the media. “I ordered the detectives to give nothing to the mass media considering this case. Instead, they had broken my order and published themselves these one or two pages of this black ledger regarding Paul Manafort. For me it was the first call that something was going wrong and that there is some external influence in this case. And there is some other interests in this case not in the interest of the investigation and a fair trial.”
Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Ukraine prosecutor general’s international affairs office, said that, shortly after Ukrainian authorities returned from the Washington meeting, there was a clear message about helping the Americans with the Party of the Regions case. “Yes, there was a lot of talking about needing help and then the ledger just appeared in public.” Kulyk said Ukrainian authorities had evidence that other Western figures, such as former Obama White House counsel Gregory Craig, also received money from Yanukovych’s party. But the Americans weren’t interested: “They just discussed Manafort. This was all and only what they wanted. Nobody else.”
Manafort joined Trump’s campaign on March 29, 2016, and then was promoted to campaign chairman on May 19, 2016. NABU leaked the existence of the ledgers on May 29, 2016. Later that summer, it told U.S. media the ledgers showed payments to Manafort, a revelation that forced him to resign from the Trump campaign in August 2016.
A Ukrainian court in December concluded NABU’s release of the ledger was an illegal attempt to influence the U.S. election. And a member of Ukraine’s parliament has released a recording of a NABU official saying the agency released the ledger to help Hillary Clinton.
The other case raised at the January 2016 meeting involved Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company under investigation in Ukraine for improper foreign transfers of money. At the time, Burisma allegedly was paying then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter as both a board member and a consultant. More than $3 million flowed from Ukraine to Rosemont Seneca, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer's firm in 2014-15, bank records show.
U.S. officials told the Ukrainians they would prefer that Kiev drop the Burisma probe and allow the FBI to take it over. The Ukrainians did not agree. But then Joe Biden pressured Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to fire Victor Shokin, Ukraine’s chief prosecutor in March 2016. The Burisma case was transferred to NABU, then shut down.
The Ukrainian Embassy in Washington confirmed that the Obama administration requested the meetings in January 2016, but embassy representatives attended only some of the sessions. "Unfortunately, the Embassy of Ukraine in Washington, D.C., was not invited to join the DOJ and other law enforcement-sector meetings."
Telizhenko’s claim that the DOJ reopened its Manafort probe as the 2016 election ramped up is supported by the DOJ’s own documents, including communications involving Associate Attorney General Bruce Ohr, his wife, Nellie Ohr, and ex-British spy Christopher Steele. Nellie Ohr and Steele worked in 2016 for Fusion GPS, that was hired by Clinton’s campaign and DNC to find dirt on Trump. Steele wrote the famous dossier for Fusion that the FBI used to gain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. Nellie Ohr admitted to Congress that she routed Russia dirt on Trump from Fusion to the DOJ through her husband Bruce during the election.
DOJ emails show Nellie Ohr on May 30, 2016, directly alerted her husband Bruce and two DOJ prosecutors to the discovery of the “Black Ledger” files that led to Manafort’s prosecution. “Reported Trove of documents on Ukrainian Party of Regions’ Black Cashbox,” Nellie Ohr wrote to her husband and federal prosecutors Lisa Holtyn and Joseph Wheatley, attaching a news article on the announcement of NABU’s release of the documents.
Bruce Ohr and Steele worked on their own effort to get dirt on Manafort from a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, who had a soured business relationship with Manafort. Deripaska was “almost ready to talk” to U.S. government officials regarding the money that “Manafort stole,” Bruce Ohr wrote in notes from his conversations with Steele.
The efforts eventually led to a September 2016 meeting in which Andrew McCabe asked Deripaska if he could help prove Manafort was helping Trump collude with Russia. Deripaska laughed off the notion as preposterous.
Politico reported that the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington assisted Clinton’s campaign through Alexandra Chalupa, a DNC contractor.[19] The Ukrainian Embassy acknowledges it got requests for assistance from Chalupa to find dirt on Manafort.
Ukraine
U.S. Department of State documents uploaded to scribd.com[20] show George Soros, in 2016, meeting with then-Ukrainian President Margvelashvili and also then-Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman. The documents, which originate from Soros’ Open Society Foundation, also "cc"'d to Eric Ciaramella.[21]
Abigail Grace and Sean Misko
Ciaramella was fired from the NSC in July 2017, but not before establishing relationships with future Adam Schiff staffers Abigail Grace and Sean Misko.[22] All three were very close to HR McMasters.
During McMasters’ tenure at the NSC, leaks from within the White House were endemic. The verbatim transcripts of phone calls with the Australian Prime Minister and the President of Mexico were purposely leaked to embarrass and damage the President.
Ciaramella was close friends at the White House with Misko who in August 2019 was a key aide to Adam Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman leading the Democratic push to impeach President Trump. Sean Misko, 37, was the director for the Gulf States at the National Security Council from 2015 until the first half of 2018. Both officials arrived during the Obama administration and left during the Trump administration.[23]
Schiff first claimed, “We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. We would like to.” However, it was later discovered that “a member of his staff had spoken to the whistleblower before the complaint was filed on Aug. 12.” The whistleblower and @AdamSchiff's aide were described as workplace friends who had similarly antagonistic attitudes toward the Trump administration and were witnessed by a former National Security Council official, to frequently be around one another.
In May 2017, Ciaramella was instrumental in helping generate the “Putin fired Comey” narrative. A Ciaramella email the day after Comey's firing ended up in the media, which is reported to have allegedly called Comey “crazy, a real nut job.”
Ciaramella is said to have argued that “President Putin suggested that President Trump fire Comey.”[25] In the days after Comey’s firing, this presidential action was used to further political and media calls for the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate supposed ‘Russia collusion.’ However, Ciaramella was dismissed from the Trump White House in June 2917 and accused of illegal leaks and working against the interests of the United States government. Ciaramella returned to the CIA.
The Mueller Report undercut its own core Russia-neddling claims.[26] The report claimed that the interference operation occurred “principally” on two fronts: Russian military intelligence officers hacked and leaked embarrassing Democratic Party documents, and a government-linked troll farm orchestrated a sophisticated and far-reaching social media campaign that denigrated Hillary Clinton and promoted Trump. But a close examination of the report shows that none of those assertions are supported by the report’s evidence or other publicly available sources.[27]
The report's timeline of events defy logic. According to its narrative, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced the publication of Democratic Party emails not only before he received the documents but before he even communicated with the source that provided them. Mueller never interviewed Assange – a central figure who claims Russia was not behind the hack.
Neither U.S. law enforcement nor intelligence officials ever examined DNC servers. The DOJ admitted that the FBI never saw the Crowdstrike Report on Russian hacking claim.[28] Instead, they relied on the forensics of CrowdStrike, a private contractor for the DNC founded by a Ukrainian oligarch that was not a neutral party, much as “Russian dossier” compiled by Christopher Steele, also a DNC contractor, was not a neutral party. This puts two Democrat-hired contractors squarely behind underlying allegations in the affair – a key circumstance that Mueller ignored.
The FBI allowed CrowdStrike and the Democratic Party's legal counsel, Perkins Coie, to submit redacted records, meaning CrowdStrike and not the government decided what could be revealed or not regarding evidence of hacking.
The Mueller report conspicuously does not allege that the Russian government carried out the social media campaign. Instead it blames, as Mueller said in his closing remarks, "a private Russian entity" known as the Internet Research Agency (IRA). It makes no connection between IRA and the Russian government. Mueller falls far short of proving that the Russian social campaign was sophisticated, or even more than minimally related to the 2016 election. As with the collusion and Russian hacking allegations, Democratic officials had a central and overlooked hand in generating the alarm about Russian social media activity.
Ciaramella colluded with Rep. Adam Schiff before filing an alleged "whistleblower" complaint.[29] Both Ciaramella and Schiff lied about their collusion.[30] According to Ciaramella's complaint dated August 12, 2019, President Trump requested President Zelensky of Ukraine to
"assist in purportedly uncovering that allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election originated in Ukraine , with a specific request that the Ukrainian leader locate and turn over servers used by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and examined by the U.S. cyber security firm Crowdstrike."[31]
The Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), Michael Atkinson, referred to Ciaramella as one who has
“some indicia of an arguable political bias … in favor of a rival political candidate"
The ICIG was severely criticized for changing the rules at the last minute and allowing a third-party "whistleblower" hearsay complaint. The Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel which reviews Inspector General findings determined that the President is not a member of the Intelligence Community and outside the Intelligence Community Inspector General's purvue. He further stated that
A complaint from an intelligence-community employee about statements made by the President during a telephone call with a foreign leader does not involve an “urgent concern,” as defined in 50 U.S.C. § 3033(k)(5)(G), because the alleged conduct does not relate to “the funding, administration, or operation of an intelligence activity” under the authority of the Director of National Intelligence.[32]
GoFundMe page
A complaint filed to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) alleges the anti-Trump whistleblower violated federal law by soliciting money via a GoFundMe page.
We are requesting you investigate whether 18 USC 208, 18 USC 209, or any other criminal statute or regulation, has been violated by the federal employee you are protecting when they reportedly requested an investigation into a matter they had no direct personal knowledge of, and on account of which they were able to obtain sizeable gifts from unknown persons because of their official duty.”[33]
The complaint claims these donations constitute gifts to an intelligence official that would be restricted due to the individual’s official position. This would be a violation of 5 CFR 2635.203 and potentially other statutes which prohibit gift giving to federal officials.
The complaint also raised the possibility that some of the donations may have come from prohibited sources, and asked the ICIG to look into whether any "foreign citizen or agent of a foreign government" contributed.
Radical background
On April 15, 2005, then first-year Yale student Ciaramella dressed in all white to lead a contingent of 10 similarly dressed first-year Yale Arabic students to the offices of the provost and the president of the university to demand that the university provide an incentive to encourage Bassam Frangieh, a radical professor of Arabic studies, to stay at Yale. The students were unhappy because Frangieh had decided to accept a tenure-track position at the University of Delaware.
Ciaramella helped organize a letter-writing campaign. According to the Yale Daily News, Bassam Frangieh was looking for an opportunity to teach more of the classes that he would like to teach. One of the protesters said, “His specialty is Arabic language and literature, and he wanted to teach some classes on style and poetry.” A week after the protest, Yale’s administration announced that they had “upped the ante with an offer competitive enough to keep one of its star language instructors from leaving” Yale.
Apparantly Frangieh wanted to use literature to shape sdtudent views on the “heroic Arabic poet-martyrs” battling against the supposed occupation in Palestine. In 2000, Frangieh published a chapter romanticizing terrorism in a book entitled Tradition, Modernity, and Postmodernity in Arabic Literature. Frandieh praised Abd al Rahim Mahmud, the “first Arab poet-martyr.” Mahmud, who is often used to inspire terrorism and suicide bombings among Arab youth, was described by Frangieh as “carrying his soul in the palm of his hand” as he “threw himself into the cavern of death.” Romanticizing his terrorism, Frangieh recalls Mahmud’s “premature death at age 35, fighting a battle in an attempt to keep Palestine free from foreign occupation, [which] brought dignity to the hearts of his people. Through his death he eliminated the gap between words and action … he shall remain a symbol of heroism and pride for his people.”
In 2007, Bassam Frangieh signed an Arabic-language petition, “Not In Our Name,” which encouraged signatories to “stand together to thwart the Zionist-Crusaderconspiracy.” Denouncing U.S. Iraq policy as a “barbaric onslaught of cowboy masters, world Zionist leaders and their local agents, Frangieh claims that the only reason for the invasion of Iraq was the Zionist plan.” A long-time supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Movement against Israel — designed to “challenge international support for Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism” — Frangieh was recruited to an even more prestigious post at Claremont McKenna College in 2007, where he is currently head of the Arabic Department for the five Claremont Colleges.
Eric Ciaramella was radicalized at Yale by professors like Bassam Frangieh.[34] He was quickly recognized as a fellow traveler and became an insider in the Obama administration. He continued that through the first two years of the Trump administration.
A Ukrainian-American operative consulting for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) met with top officials in Ukraine’s U.S. embassy to publicize ties between Trump, his top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia. (It worked.)
Ukrainian officials tried to help Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office.
Ukrainian officials “disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election.”
Ukrainian officials helped Clinton allies dig up damaging information on Trump and his advisers.
“The Ukrainian efforts had an impact in the race, helping to force Manafort’s resignation and advancing the narrative that Trump’s campaign was deeply connected to … Russia.”
According to Politico:
“In an interview this month, at the DNC this past election cycle centered on mobilizing ethnic communities — including Ukrainian-Americans — she said that, when Trump’s unlikely presidential campaign. Chalupa told Politico she had developed a network of sources in Kiev and Washington, including investigative journalists, government officials and private intelligence operatives. While her consulting work began surging in late 2015, she began focusing more on the research, and expanded it to include Trump’s ties to Russia, as well.” Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire, By KENNETH P. VOGEL and DAVID STERN 01/11/2017.
According to the Politico article, Alexandra Chalupa was meeting with the Ukrainian embassy in June of 2016 to discuss getting more help sticking it to candidate Trump. At the same time she was meeting, the embassy had a reception that highlighted female Ukrainian leaders. Four Verkhovna Rada [parliament] deputies there for the event included: Viktoriia Y. Ptashnyk, Anna A. Romanova, Alyona I. Shkrum, and Taras T. Pastukh.</font>
According to CNN [7/12/17], DNC sources said Chalupa told DNC operatives the Ukrainian government would be willing to deliver damaging information against Trump’s campaign. Later, Chalupa would lead the charge to try to unseat president-elect Trump starting on Nov 10, 2016.

↑Mueller Report, page 71 footnote 486.Mueller cited two emails from Ciaramella to then-Chief of Staff John Kelly and other administration officials describing the details of a meeting between Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Trump met with them the day after he fired FBI Director James Comey. “The meeting had been planned on May 2, 2017, during a telephone call between the President and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the meeting date was confirmed on May 5, 2017, the same day the President dictated ideas for the Comey termination letter to [Trump aide] Stephen Miller,” the Mueller report reads, citing Ciaramella’s emails in a footnote. The Mueller report went on to quote from a New York Times article published on May 19, 2017. That article cited an “American official” who leaked to reporters a “document summarizing the meeting.” “I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job,” the article quoted Trump as saying. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off … I’m not under investigation.” Then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein justified Comey’s firing by criticizing his handling of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails. After Comey’s firing, he leaked information from some of his memos to the media in order to prompt the appointment of a special counsel. https://pjmedia.com/columnist/tyler-o-neil/
Suspected whistleblower Eric Ciaramella is suspected of being involved in both the Ukraine hoax and the Russia hoax.
More and more information supports that claim.
Laura Ingraham reported why suspected whistle blower Eric Ciaramella was so concerned about efforts to look into Obama’s activities in the Ukraine. According to White House visitor logs Eric Ciaramella was hosting the January 19, 2016 White House meeting where Ukrainian officials were told to drop the investigation into Hunter Biden. We reported on this in November 2019 and The Ingraham Angle confirmed the information.
Codyave on Twitter recently tied a number of Carter Page tweets together showing that the whistle blower in the Ukraine Hoax is also a key player in the Russia collusion hoax:
Here are the individual Carter Page texts identified above:
Carter Page asks what is the suspected whistleblower’s connection to Christopher Steele, the author of the now totally debunked dossier used to obtain the bogus FISA warrant on Carter Page and therefore President Trump and his campaign and administration:
Page also calls out far-left and complicit Mother Jones for suggesting Page’s ordeal in the Russia hoax is not related to the bogus Deep State impeachment:
Julie Kelly on Twitter tied the Russia Hoax to the Ukrainian Hoax as well, especially in relation to the IC IG Atkinson who also worked closely with the Russia collusion gang and whose testimony in Schiff’s basement has not yet been released by Shifty Schiff:
More and more information links the Ukraine hoax whistle blower to the Russia collusion hoax. What are the odds that Eric Ciaramella was involved in both?
More Suspicious Events in Obama’s White House Connects Schiff’s Suspected Whistleblower Eric Ciaramella to Soros Operatives
What was going on in Obama’s White House? Eric Ciaramella was close to Barack Obama and many other individuals connected to George Soros. Suspected whistleblower Eric Ciaramella worked in Obama’s White House.
We reported a couple days ago that on September 7, 2016, Eric Ciaramella from the Obama Administration met with a group of individuals that included an Executive from a George Soros connected group. What did they discuss? The meeting included Donald M. Camp, Jessica M. Gray, Baily S. Holladay (Russian Linguist/Analyst, NSA), Michael D. Jarvis, Natalia O. Lassowsky (Ukrainian Linguist/Analyst, NSA), Thomas W. Pucci, Stefanie L. Stagg and Ciaramella.
It appears that the “Michael D. Jarvis” who attended the Eric Ciaramella meeting on September 7, 2016 was and still is the Executive Director of the Transparency and Accountability Initiative (TAI) which is funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
TAI has a long history with George Soros. According to a 2011 article, the Soros funded Open Society Foundation praised TAI for its work –
NEW YORK—The Open Society Foundations today welcome the launch of the Open Government Partnership. Endorsed by 43 countries, the initiative is an important means by which to encourage governments to uphold the principles of transparency and accountability. These principles are at the core of the work of the Open Society Foundations. We support the Transparency and Accountability Initiative, a donor collaborative dedicated to empowering citizens to hold their governments to account, and we support civil society groups in more than 60 countries to do the same.
One of the areas, on which TAI focuses is anti-corruption. When he worked at the World Bank, Jarvis focused on the oil, gas and mining sectors. It is no secret that Soros was interested in Ukraine’s oil and gas industry and that Obama’s Departments of Justice and State were doing all they could to help him take it over.
It is no secret that George Soros operates through Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) to influence national policies throughout the world. It may be that Eric Ciaramella was acting as a coordinator of some Soros-linked efforts in the Ukraine in parallel with U.S. government activities, in particular through the State Department’s U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
Here are some more connections with Ciaramella in Obama’s White House –
On March 16, 2016, Eric Ciaramella chaired a meeting of the following interconnected individuals and groups in Room 230B of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Gina Lentine, Program Associate, Europe & Eurasia at Freedom House (many claim is Soros-funded), where she was responsible for media support and civil society programming in Ukraine. Prior to that, Lentine was Program Coordinator, Eurasia Program for Soros’ Open Society Foundations, where she monitored civil society and NGO development in Ukraine.
Alim Aliiev, a Ukrainian and program director of Crimean House, was co-founder of the Crimean Tatar Cultural Center in Lviv, which was funded by the Soros-funded International Renaissance Foundation).
Florian Irminger, from Switzerland, was Head of Advocacy at Human Rights House. He was also Treasurer for the Centre for Civil and Political Rights, which had a partnership with Soros’ Open Society Foundation and ran the joint “Conference on Corruption and its Impact on Human Rights in the Post-Soviet World” in Bern, Switzerland, 26-27 November 2014. On October 31, 2019 Irminger received a Soros Open Societies Foundation New Executives Fund grant ($25,000 to $250,000).
Zoryan Kis, a Project Coordinator at Freedom House in Ukraine and received a $113,000 Soros grant to support LGBT activities.
Tetiana Pechonchyk is chairperson of the ZMINA Human Rights Centre in Ukraine. ZMINA is funded by the Soros-funded International Renaissance Foundation and Freedom House (listed on the ZMINA web site). Pechonchyk is connected to the Human Rights House.

It appears the Obama Administration and Ciaramella were involved in efforts to end potential indictments against Soros related entities in the Ukraine. It’s likely the Obama White House did more than that for super-donor George Soros.
Open Society Emails Show Anti-Trump CIA “Whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella Was Updated on George Soros’s Personal Ukraine Activities
The Obama Administration coerced the Ukrainian government into removing the prosecutor investigating Ukrainian firm Burisma and its ties to Obama’s Vice President Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry. Next they plotted with whistleblower Eric Ciaramella in the White House and then pushed the Steele dossier to the FBI.
We know that Obama State Department Victoria Nuland was involved in numerous activities in the Obama White House while working for John Kerry. Nuland first was noted when she was caught lying to reporters about Obama’s Benghazi talking points. Nuland then came to light in 2014 when she was caught on tape saying “F**k the EU”.
In late 2015 Nuland was connected to a coup that the Deep State was involved in. Obama officials including Nuland and the Ukrainian Ambassador discussed toppling the Ukrainian Government and replacing officials, with then VP Joe Biden’s approval.
The world renowned Oliver Stone had a piece about this in a documentary about the Ukraine –
This was also about the same time that VP Joe Biden coerced the Ukrainian government to remove prosecutor Shokin from the case where he was investigating Biden’s son at Burisma in 2016.
Eric Ciaramella and Victoria Nuland
It also appears that the Open Society kept anti-Trump CIA “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella updated on George Soros’s Ukrainian activities through email.
Aaron Klein at Breitbart.com reported:
Eric Ciaramella, whom Real Clear Investigations suggests is the likely so-called whistleblower, received emails about Ukraine policy from a top director at George Soros’s Open Society Foundations.
The emails informed Ciaramella and a handful of other Obama administration foreign policy officials about Soros’s whereabouts, the contents of Soros’s private meetings about Ukraine and a future meeting the billionaire activist was holding with the prime minister of Ukraine.
A primary recipient of the Open Society emails along with Ciaramella was then-Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland, who played a central role in the anti-Trump dossier affair. Nuland, with whom Ciaramella worked closely, received updates on Ukraine issues from dossier author Christopher Steele in addition to her direct role in facilitating the dossier within the Obama administration.
The emails spotlight Soros’s access to national security officials under the Obama administration on the matter of Ukraine.
In one instance, Jeff Goldstein, senior policy analyst for Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations, sent a June 9, 2016 email to Nuland and Ciaramella, who were the missive’s primary recipients.
CC’d were three other State Department officials involved in European affairs, including Alexander Kasanof who worked at the U.S. embassy in Kiev.
The message read:
I wanted to let you know that Mr. Soros met with Johannes Hahn in Brussels earlier today. One of the issues he raised was concern over the decision to delay the visa liberalization for Georgia and the implications for Ukraine.
The email revealed that “GS” – meaning Soros – “is also meeting [Georgian] President [Giorgi] Margvelashvili today and speaking with PM Groyman,” referring to Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman.
