Nowhere to run...

Journal by fustakrakich

My discomfort in the last few years, first with Russiagate and now with Ukrainegate and impeachment, stems from the belief that the people pushing hardest for Trump’s early removal are more dangerous than Trump. Many Americans don’t see this because they’re not used to waking up in a country where you’re not sure who the president will be by nightfall. They don’t understand that this predicament is worse than having a bad president.

Here's looking at you, DNC!

When is she going to announce?

    Glancing at the linked stories from that website, is there any evidence to support their assertions? I found it remarkable how little evidence there was to support the assertions made in the two links. The claim that Eric Ciaramella is the "whistleblower" is based on unfounded blog and tweet assertions about what the whistleblower supposedly has done or is.

    Similarly, from the other post [soylentnews.org] citing this particular blog, we have bald assertions that Ciaramella may have run a meeting which they might not have attended or the meeting might not even exist. And there's the claim of "secret impeachment proceedings" by the Democrats of the House. What's the basis for that claim?

    There's way too many lazy claims without evidence. The final question from that blog bears mentioning:

    Is Mr. Eric Ciaramella the now-infamous “whistleblower” (spy/traitor)?

    This crosses the line to an attack, particularly disturbing since it's an attack on career bureaucrats who normally would be invisible. Who is painting the target?

    Here's my take. We're seeing someone from the Trump leadership using bloggers to take out bureaucrats who aren't Trump supporters. Given how flimsy the evidence has been to this point, I imagine one or more of the bloggers mentioned gets inside dope and then coming up with a secondary excuse for why the laser targeting beam is focused on Ciaramella. This story above about Ciaramella and his purported motives may well be true, but let's remember who has inside knowledge and can most easily direct others to the attack.
