The same CIA scumbag was behind both the "Russian election interference" smear and the "Trump pressured Ukraine to prosecute a political rival's kid" claim which led to Mr. Trump's impeachment.

The analyst who produced the lies in both reports was - Eric Ciaramella.

And he was allowed to file the latter charge anonymously, something never allowed before by the rules of the intelligence community. They changed the rules. Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson was the guy who authorized that rule change and the report on Atkinson was spiked by the impeachment committee as "classified" so as not to release the name of the "whistleblower". Had America known this whistleblower was the same guy in both cases, and he worked previously for John Brennan, there could not have been an impeachment; everyone would know it was a political hit.

Atkinson admitted before a closed-door hearing in questioning by John Ratcliffe, now CIA Director, that Cinnabun, er, Ciaramella lied about several key aspects of the report. But that remained classified - until now.

Adam Schiff used the rules to hide all of this from public view - and even from the view of Congress outside of his committee.

But with this committee now under Republican control and with a Republican Administration they are willing to declassify, and Tulsi Gabbard has the task of going through the documents to make sure they aren't leaking things that need to be kept secret. Beyond that we should have them soon.

In the end this was a coup attempt and hopefully at least Schiff will go down over it.
