Eric Ciaramella, alleged to be the Ukraine whistleblower, was cited in a key passage of special counsel Robert Mueller's report in connection to the meeting between President Trump and Russian officials in the Oval Office the day after James Comey was fired as FBI director.
Ciaramella, a career CIA analyst, was Ukraine director on the National Security Council during the end of the Obama administration and remained there during the early months of the Trump administration, when he was briefly acting senior director for European and Russian affairs before the arrival of Fiona Hill. This week, the Washington Examiner reported that Ciaramella, 33, is now a deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, reporting to the director of national intelligence.
Ciaramella appears in a footnote on the 71st page of Mueller's 448-page report, with Mueller citing two emails that he sent to John Kelly, then chief of staff, and other administration officials describing the details of a meeting between Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
...
The Mueller report footnote referenced Ciaramella's emails when it stated that "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 body of the Mueller report went on to quote from a New York Times article published on May 19, 2017, that cited an "American official" who read a "document summarizing the meeting" to the reporters.
"I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump was quoted as saying. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off ... I'm not under investigation."

Leaky Eric certainly gets around, doesn't he. Could it be that when he was let go from his job at the Whitehouse, he was the suspected Leaker of classified information to the New York Times. If so and it is established that he was the one who leaked President Trump's comments to Putin about Comey, then he is guilty of a felony! I wonder if John Kelly was the one who fired him and if so, I wonder if Leaky Eric admitted his crime to Kelly? AND, If so, I wonder if Kelly (or whoever fired him for leaking) will be called to testify? AND if so, I wonder if the AG will prosecute him, since these multiple leaks during the early weeks of the Trump Adminsitration were all part of the coup. (Operation Crossfire Hurricane)
Shhh! Eric Ciaramella's name is a secret!
There are many Eric Ciaramellas in the intelligence communtity. My issue is why they are still there. If the VA can get rid of bad nurses then why is our intelligence community allowed to retain leakers and frauds? Whistleblower is just another word for leaker.
I wonder why he was only fired from the Whitehouse and not referred for criminal prosecution and why didn't he lose his security clearance when he leaked about President Trump's comments to Putin about Comey, the real Nut Job? I don't think it's too late to prosecute him for leaking information about this phone call. He sure didn't have any 'Whistleblower Protection' when he was one of the Whitehouse Leakers.Then again, perhaps Durhams already on his case,,,,

I'm guessing Trump is thinking, "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer"?
Keep them around and keep a close eye on them as they contact other Marxists, helping out the entire club.

There are so many snakes in the swamp, many of them are inside the Whitehouse. While some may not themselves commit felonies and leak classified information, many others may privately agree with them. I doubt the President ever was told about this Leaker who was probably quietly "let go". Had he been publicly exposed and properly bitch slapped with a criminal charge, he would not have been able to have been recruited by Weissman for the Mueller Report and Schiff for the Whistleblower crap. He would have immediately lost his security clearance and never been hired 'back at the CIA'.

That's the point. In allowing him to keep it, no doubt he inadvertently exposed others.
Keep in mind, Trump has the NSA when he needs it, it's why Trump has all this dirt on everyone of them, and how they found the deleted Hillary emails.
NSA has records of every keystroke over the last two decades. On all of us...
CIAramella is also found in the White House visitor logs under the Obama Administration. :popcorn:
He worked directly with Joe Biden at the Whitehouse and traveled with him.

It would appear that the Marxists are counting on their media to spin this in their favor. Boy, are they in for a shock. You can't spin lies no matter how hard they try, the people aren't that stupid, they know this is a farce.

Looking over this graphic, it is amazing how he managed to continue holding positions in the federal government, at high ranking national security agencies even after his history of leaking, and for being fired. There needs to be a better process. Partisanship aside, we need to better manage the people we put into these positions.

When you say "We", I am assuming you believe that "We" be successful, in destroying this coup and restoring the rule of law and bringing the Conspirators to justice. The Leaders of this coup have hand picked many people like Ciaramella and promoted them to key positions throughout our government.
As I was doing my errands this morning the FNC reported the names of witnesses the republicans desire. It included this guy AND Hunter Biden. I think that is brilliant as they know Schiff will refuse these witnesses and further expose the democrats in this impeachment effort.

Schiff is going to have a difficult time not allowing this witness who is an expert on Ukraine and who was a player in the entire, corrupt mess that President Trump wanted the President of Ukraine to investigate on his end. If Schiff won't identify him as the 'WhistleLeaker' then what reason can he publicly give for not allowing this witness to testify?

My thoughts exactly. Schiff is caught in a tight spot. If he does not allow him to testify as irrelevant, he blows up any value of the "whistleblower".
What would blow this entire hoax out of the water would be if there is an indictment of Ciaramella as the Leaker of the classified information regarding Michael Flynn's phone call. He worked for the NSA at was assigned to the Obama Whitehouse at the time. The NSA does the evesdropping on phone calls with foreign dignitaries. I'm sure he has to have been on the short list of those who Durham has been looking at.

I believe this is one reason why Trump hasn't mentioned his name.
