Ciaramella complained that President Trump abused his office when he asked Ukraine to investigate corruption allegations against Joe Biden and his son Hunter, as well as claims related to pro-Clinton election interference and DNC hacking in 2016.
On Thursday, a top National Security Council official who was present on a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky testified that he saw nothing illegal about the conversation.
"I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed," said Tim Morrison, former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs who was on the July 25 call between the two leaders.
"There is no indication that either of the original whistleblowers will be called to testify or appear before the Senate or House Intelligence committees. There is no further discussion ongoing between the legal team and the committees," said the Examiner's source.
The whistleblower is a career CIA officer with expertise in Ukraine policy who served on the White House National Security Council during the Obama administration, when 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was "point man" for Ukraine, and during the early months of the Trump administration. -Washington Examiner
In other words, House Democrats are about to impeach President Trump over a second-hand whistleblower complaint by a partisan CIA officer, and neither he nor his source will actually testify about it (for now...).
On Thursday, the House passed a resolution establishing a framework for Trump impeachment proceedings, belatedly granting Republicans the ability to subpoena witnesses, but only if Schiff and fellow Democrats on the Intelligence Committee agree.
Mark Zaid, who along with Andrew Bakaj is an attorney for both the original whistleblower and the second whistleblower, told the Washington Examiner the legal team was willing to work with lawmakers so long as anonymity is ensured. “We remain committed to cooperating with any congressional oversight committee's requests so long as it properly protects and ensures the anonymity of our clients,” Zaid said.
On Wednesday, Zaid and Bakaj declined to confirm or deny in a statement to the Washington Examiner that Eric Ciaramella, 33, a career CIA analyst and former Ukraine director on the NSC, was the whistleblower after a report by RealClearInvestigations. -Washington Examiner
We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so.
We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week.
Once Ciaramella's status as a CIA officer and his links to Biden emerged, however, Schiff backtracked. On October 13 he changed his tune, saying "Our primary interest right now is making sure that that person is protected."
Attorneys for Ukraine call whistleblower new statement on speculation about the intelligence community employee’s identity.
Meanwhile, once the House impeaches Trump - which it most certainly will - the tables will turn in the Senate, which will hold a mandatory trial. Not only will the GOP-Senators controlling the proceedings be able to subpoena documents and other evidence, they'll be able to compel Ciaramella, the Bidens, Chalupa and any other witnesses they desire as we head into the 2020 US election.
He is likely protected from legal ramifications from showing up to testify, a former Army judge advocate told Military Times on Thursday. But it remains to be seen whether what he told legislators could get him charged with a crime ― and, of course, how his choice to rebel against his White House chain-of-command will affect his career.

DEVELOPING: Schiff’s CIA “Whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella May Be Implicated in Upcoming FISA Report
2 October, 2019
The
complete list of anti-Trump CIA “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella’s
ties to top Democrat operatives will SHOCK YOU!
CIA
snitch Eric Ciaramella filed a whistleblower complaint on August 12
over President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President
Zelensky where the two discussed ferreting out corruption. This
included talk on investigating the Biden crime family.
**
The so-called “whistleblower”
Eric Ciaramella is a Democrat who had a “professional” tie to a
2020 Democrat.
**
Ciaramella was kicked out of the White House for leaking
negative stories about
Donald Trump in 2017.
**
Trump-hater Ciaramella was behind
the fake story that
Putin told Trump to fire Comey — a COMPLETE FAKE NEWS STORY from
2017!
**
Ciaramella’s attorneys worked for
James Clapper, Hillary
Clinton, Chuck
Schumer,
and donated to
Joe Biden.
**
An attorney for Ciaramella is a member of the #Resistance.
**
Ciaramella worked
with Joe Biden in
the executive branch when he was Vice President.
**
Ciaramella had
no problem with
the Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s million dollar pay-for-play
scandal with Ukraine.
**
Ciaramella traveled with Joe Biden to the Ukraine.
**
Ciaramella worked with DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa in the
creation of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax
**
A former associate of James Clapper, Charles McCullough, assisted
Ciaramella with
his complaint against Trump.
But
Eric Ciaramella may have more problems than just hiding his anonymity
from the American public.
FOX News legal expert Gregg Jarrett wrote today that Ciaramella, who was mentioned in the Mueller report, may be implicated in the upcoming IG FISA report.

If this information is true, it is possible that this “whistleblower” could be one of the individuals who might need a defense lawyer in the coming weeks when the findings of the FISA report are made public. The reported direct relationship with James Brennan, the “Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election,” and Susan Rice makes them a likely candidate to be at the very least called as a witness in the cases that are likely to start following the FISA report. In addition, his area of expertise is reportedly Russia and Ukraine; two of the reported locations where information used in the anti- Trump Russian Dossier was “gathered.” The name that Real Clear Investigations revealed is also listed as a source in one of Robert Mueller’s footnotes in his report.
This means that with the Democrats starting the impeachment inquiry the “whistleblower” may be a witness, or a defendant, in a separate case where real evidence has been produced of criminal wrongdoing. In this case, their feelings, opinions, and rumors that they heard will not be important. The facts and potentially illegal actions that took place to start the witch hunt against President Trump will be concrete evidence that the Democrats and the media will be unable to spin politically.
