Schiff Hired Alleged Whistleblower Ciaramella's Former Colleague the Day After the Trump-Ukraine Call

[Red State] How deep and questionable were the contacts between Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the alleged whistleblower, Eric Ciaramella?

We got another piece of the puzzle today, with what has to be the "coincidence" of all time.

Ciaramella, the CIA officer who was on the NSC during the Obama administration and worked on Ukrainian issues with Joe Biden. He was Biden’s guest at a State Department banquet in October 2016.

Ciaramella continued in that NSC position during the Trump administration. He had a good buddy who he worked with on the NSC, Sean Misko. An official spoke to the Washington Examiner and described the two as "bros" who had similarly antagonistic feelings toward the Trump administration.

Prior to working with the NSC, Misko "worked in the Obama administration as a member of the secretary of state’s policy planning staff for deputy chief of staff Jake Sullivan, who became Hillary Clinton’s senior foreign policy adviser during her 2016 presidential campaign." That perhaps explains the antagonistic feeling toward the Trump administration.

While we knew that Misko subsequently went to work for Schiff, prior records had suggested that he started in August. But according to the Washington Examiner, new records indicate his official date of hire was July 26, the day after the Trump-Zelensky phone call. Gee, one has to wonder about the nature of the timing and how that came about, because that’s blinking red flags all over the place.

He isn’t the first NSC Obama-holdover who Schiff hired. Abigail Grace worked for the NSC under Trump until 2018. She was hired by Schiff in February.

Both Misko and Grace are now working on the impeachment proceedings for Schiff. The new report released by Schiff lists Misko as part of the "impeachment inquiry investigative staff" and Grace as part of "oversight staff."

The whistleblower filed his complaint on August 12.

#1 So Schiff has his very own clandestine collection program in operation does he ?

I wonder what AG Barr thinks of that ?

#2 Moral of the story: When a new president walks into the Oval Office, his first act should be to fire all of the holdovers from the previous administration.

#4 That is one advantage of the Parliamentary system. Shadow government is ready to step in.
