It's always been tied to the CIA and that hasn't changed.
Greg Miller, Greg Jaffe and Paul Sonne stop their circle jerk long enough to write about the leaker:
It is not clear whether any of this would have come to light were it not for the actions of a relatively junior CIA employee, who is now the target of almost daily attacks by Trump and right-wing efforts to make his identity widely public.
Greg Miller, Greg Jaffe and Paul Sonne? Yes, THE WASHINGTON POST is CIA-linked and deeply sexist. They don't let women do hard news much at THE POST, do they?
Back to the lies. It's not a right-wing effort to make Eric Ciaremella. We're not right wingers. We do believe that if someone wants to leak to bring on an impeachment, the American people have every right to know who that person is. They have every right to evaluate that person and their motives.
there he is, the whistleblower Eric Ciaramella
Kerry Pickett (WASHINGTON EXAMINER) notes:
Eric Ciaramella, the alleged Ukraine whistleblower, was long suspected of deliberately attempting to damage President Trump's foreign policy from the inside and had access to policy information far beyond his regional expertise, according to former National Security Council officials.
Ciaramella, 33, a career CIA analyst, was Ukraine director on the NSC toward the end of the Obama administration and stayed there during the first few months of the Trump administration, when he was acting senior director for European and Russian affairs and then special assistant to Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was Trump's national security adviser, until he left the White House in the summer of 2017.
Now a deputy national intelligence officer for Russia and Eurasia on the National Intelligence Council, Ciaramella is suspected of being the official who filed a complaint about a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Democrats are pursuing the impeachment of Trump, accusing him of linking Ukrainian military aid to investigating corruption related to business dealings by former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.
HEAVY has an article that also discusses how he was leaking to the press in 2017 to damage the presidency of Donald Trump.
We don't have a whistle-blower here, we have a leaker. In fact, we have a leaker who has been a part of an active conspiracy to bring down a duly elected president.
The American people have every right to know whether or not that is true.
