The Director of National Intelligence’s declassification of documents this week proved that the impeachment of President Donald Trump 45 for a phone call about Ukraine was an utterly fabricated put-up job. We all suspected it, but the released docs confirm it. And now we’re seeing stunning video of the lawyer in charge of the impeachment also confirming the gobsmacking reason behind it.
The documents reveal yet another false story that “deep state actors within the intelligence community” fabricated, and the laundering of that phony story through a fake “whistleblower,” whom DNI Tulsi Gabbard has now referred for prosecution.
Newly-declassified records expose how deep state actors within the Intelligence Community concocted a false narrative that Congress used to usurp the will of the American people and impeach duly-elected President @realDonaldTrump in 2019.

A lot of focus has been on Eric Ciaramella, the Obama holdover in Trump 45 world who was a Biden acolyte, and worked with the then-vice president on Ukraine matters.
Ciaramella cited double or triple hearsay evidence and had no direct knowledge of the phone call but, like a game of telephone, was told about it afterward. Later, the Inspector General, who’s also been referred for prosecution, ignored the hearsay, took his whistleblower complaint form (there’s a suggestion that he swapped it) and never bothered to read the transcript of the actual conversation.
The part of the conversation that raised Ciaramella’s antennae was when Trump asked Ukraine’s new president Volodymyr Zelensky to get him information being reported that Joe Biden was shaking down the new government for financial gain for himself and his son, Hunter. One of Hunter Biden’s “deliverables” for the Ukraine energy company Burisma paying him $1 million was to get rid of the prosecutor investigating the company. There’s widely reported video of Joe Biden gloating about withholding $1 billion to Ukraine in exchange for firing the prosecutor.

Indeed, as Hans Mahncke reported, Ciaramella “was not a detached observer of the Ukraine situation. He was deeply involved in the events surrounding the firing of the prosecutor.” He said that “at the time of Biden’s ultimatum to remove the prosecutor, Ciaramella served as Director for Ukraine on the Obama National Security Council and was involved in organizing the now infamous January 2016 meeting with the Ukrainian prosecutor’s team, conspicuously excluding the prosecutor general, at which the Ukrainians were told for the first time that the prosecutor general had to go.”
Ciaramella was in on all of it.
The phone call with Zelensky happened right after the Robert Mueller special prosecutor’s report showed no Russia collusion, and after Mueller himself flamed out in congressional testimony.
They needed another scandal to Get Trump. Enter the Ukraine phone call and subsequent impeachment, which none other than the lefty anti-Trump lawyer Norm Eisen ran.
A 2024 video I saw the other day of Eisen, the man in charge of most of the lawfare (with Project 65 and Marc Elias) against President Trump, confirms that the Ukraine operation was done to cover up Joe Biden’s shady and illegal deals in the one-time Soviet state. He says as much on a podcast that has resurfaced.
Watch the whole thing. First is Eisen leading the impeachment charge. Second comes his admission that they did it to in essence pre-debunk — distract from — Joe Biden’s self-dealing. He gives himself a big attaboy for drawing “the sting,” because he worried about “an October Surprise” from Trump “right down to the fake documents.” It was “not in a partisan way, but for the sake of our country,” Eisen laughably asserts. “Impeachment was an inoculation against disinformation.”
“Disinformation” my a**.
This is lawfare coordinator Norm Eisen in December 2019 asking the Trump impeachment “witnesses” if Trump should be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors over Ukraine.

It worked, of course. The media is willing to launder anything on behalf of the Democrats.
Norm, who was rewarded for his party and Biden loyalty with an ambassadorship, was a longtime lawfare operator.

I ran the video by Drew Thomas Allen, the author of Clinton Hoax, Obama Coup, during an episode of the Adult in the Room Podcast on Thursday, and he was shocked. See it below.
Did you realize that the Schumer Shutdown is still going on? As we attempt to bring down a would-be nuclear power that has killed Americans and attempted to kill President Trump twice, the Democrats refuse to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security. They want to disembowel the Great Big Beautiful Bill in exchange for their support.
