#1 Are you aware that CIA Analyst Eric Ciarmella has quietly departed the National Security Agency and returned to his old desk in McLean, VA ?

#2 The fact that they're trying to censor it is reason enough for us to know it. Share this far and wide.

#3 Seven Days in May - the (tragi)comic version.

With not generals and Burt Lancaster but junior analysts and LTC Flounder.

And BS lawfare / PR concoctions about a made-up weaselblower.

And allegations that have shifted half a dozen times before finally landing - after being tested by political consultants with likely-voter focus groups! - on a ridiculous non-crime charge that represents a complete mockery of process.

And that, unbelievably, tries to turn the tables and accuse Republicans of the very same corruption that their own idiot candidate and his cokehead grifter son are guilty of!

Seven Days in May wasore plausible and dignified than this farce.

Unbelievable.

#4 We are currently fighting a war against wild life.

Not Lions and Tigers and Bears, but against termites and rabid chipmunks and catfish.

I'm not sure we're winning.

#7 ^ Simply unbelievable. The Thanksgiving Card sent out by Schiff shows him, his wife and daughter WITH CIARAMELLA.

This corrupt f---er is so brazen, the wording he wrote on the card describes his daughter's boyfriend as "'Whistleblower' Eric."

So Schiff outs the little prick. In a family card sent to friends.

And then he has the unbelievable gall to pretend, and lie shamelessly, that he doesn't know who the weaselblower is.

Why is this man not in prison?

#10 If there was ever a doubt about Roberts being a charter member of the Deep State, it should be gone by now. Anybody pretending that Ciaramella's name is classified / secret / whatever just proves it.

Nuke this fucking thing now.

#11 #6 How soon do we learn that Alexa has landed an analytical position in McLean, VA ?

Per SchifferDad, daughter "Lex" (!) wants to study medicine. Maybe preparing to become a spin doctor for her pathological-liar dad.

I'm with Raj: nuke this f---ing POS, now.

ENOUGH.

#13 Sillies! Shifferbrains meant he didn't know Eric C. 'professionally'. No one ever asked if he was acquainted with him 'personally'.

See the difference?

#20 Kudos to the Senator from Alaska. She gets this exactly right:

“Given the partisan nature of this impeachment from the very beginning and throughout, I have come to the conclusion that there will be no fair trial in the Senate. I don’t believe the continuation of this process will change anything. It is sad for me to admit that, as an institution, the Congress has failed.

“It has also become clear some of my colleagues intend to further politicize this process, and drag the Supreme Court into the fray, while attacking the chief justice. I will not stand for nor support that effort. We have already degraded this institution for partisan political benefit, and I will not enable those who wish to pull down another.

#21 ^ translation: "This is a partisan Shitshow, and I will have nothing to do with it."

Good for her. And for all of us.

#22 The "politifact" site claims he's not "Eric C"...

Looking at the pic of Daughter Schiff's boyfriend it sure do look like him.

#26 Pierre wanted Hillary to win in 2016 and now this. If he has the nerve to show up at the convention this summer I hope he is booed loudly and with all the contempt he deserves.
