BREAKING: On pp 176-177 of just-released transcript, Fiona Hill asked to name NSC analysts who worked under her heading Ukraine desk & she names Vindman, then Catherine Croft before suddenly forgetting "who was before her." The person she conveniently "can't remember" is Ciaramella pic.twitter.com/YtXnfQssTR— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) November 8, 2019

The impeachment, Russian hoax, and trial of Flynn are all linked.
ReplyDeleteLee Smith in his new book and in his interviews makes a good presentation of that point.
DeleteI would also assert Manafort. The DoJ passed on charging him till Mueller.
DeleteManafort's problems have a Ukrainian nexus, so all the same.
DeleteSerious question with a self-evident answer.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't Eric's name be released but the Cov Catholic boys could be publicly named. CNN doxxed a Reddit user who show the President body slamming a CNN man. A film maker is identified and charged when deaths occur in Benghazi. Tea Party patriot James Holmes was misidentified by ABC's Brian Ross.
Two classes. Two standards.
I've had my criticisms of CTH but he is undoubtedly correct when he mentions the Uniparty.
ReplyDeleteThis is "Through the Looking Glass" level of nonsense- this constant redacting of the Ciaramella's name wherever it pops up. This is seriously deranged behavior. I know why they are doing it- the Democrats seem to have had this idea that they could charge an impeachable offense on the revelation of Ciaramella's identity, they just had to wait until President Trump said his name publicly (they would then do a Valerie Plame triple reverse play). However, you literally have to be stark raving mad to believe this play can work now- Ciaramella's name was in the transcript provided by Schiff himself, and Schiff more or less confirmed the identity by removing the exact same transcript with GP pointed out that little detail.
ReplyDeleteAnd one last thing about the Hill testimony- that was a big slip up on Fiona Hill's part- her "forgetting" Ciaramella's is pretty powerful proof that she knew about the complaint all along- this complaint was put together by Hill, Ciaramella, Taylor, and Vindman. I think Taylor flat out lied in his testimony about not knowing Ciaramella, and I think it likely the White House can actually prove this lie.
Two, no, make that three great points:
Delete1. Reverse Val;
2. Fiona slip pointing to prior knowledge of complaint;
3. Taylor lying. Given Ciaramella's ubiquity re Ukraine, very hard to buy Taylor didn't know him.
What is increasingly clear to me is this- these people are morons. Did Hill really believe that forgetting Ciaramella's name was a better cover tactic than just answering that question honestly? The interrogator was asking for a very specific reason- he asked that question to see if Hill would try to play dumb when it came to Ciaramella's name, and sure enough, she took the bait. Taylor did the exact same thing when he asked about Ciaramella. By playing dumb, both Hill and Taylor have more or less confirmed that they know Ciaramella, and knew he was the whistleblower when they testified.

DeleteGreat insight, Yancey. Maybe the President could reveal Eric's name via a sock puppet, tap his name with a pencil in Morse code or hire a skywriter to put his names in the clouds.
Would Pencil Neck inmpeach the sock puppet?
Yes, for all the rigged rules, you can't rig stupid. The GOPers have some clever lawyers advising them. And the Dems keep believing that Trump will fall into their traps. He never does.
DeleteI like that idea, Joe. Some conservative pundit needs to do that for fun.
DeleteIf we had a conservative version of The Tonight Show or Saturday Night Live, some writer would do it.
ReplyDeleteFor now, you'll have to be content with my attempts at humor.
Regarding Yancy's observations above, it's apparent that Dem bureaucrats, like Dem politicians, believe their 5hit doesn't stink. It does work as a form of slap-stick entertainment, but it is dumb, dumb, dumb...
