New developments have emerged that further challenge President Joe Biden’s narrative regarding the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor during his time as vice president. These revelations highlight the potential for blackmailing Ukraine’s government by threatening to cut off US aid unless the prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, was removed from his position. Adding to the growing list of witnesses that House Oversight Committee chair Rep. Jim Comer (R-Ky.) must subpoena is former CIA official Eric Ciaramella, who played a role in Ukraine during the Obama administration and the early Trump years. Ciaramella is believed to be the whistleblower who implicated then-President Donald Trump in allegedly tying an investigation into Biden corruption to Ukraine military aid, leading to Trump’s impeachment.
Ciaramella, an expert on Ukraine, displayed a lack of awareness regarding early 2016 rumors about Shokin’s corruption jeopardizing US aid. Although clearly aligned with the Democratic party, Comer’s committee should question him about his revealing statements from the Obama era. Notably, Ciaramella expressed surprise at encountering private-agenda diplomacy from Biden, casting doubt on Biden’s claim of wanting to remove Shokin due to corruption.
Comer should inquire whether Biden’s actions were influenced by demands from Hunter and his associates when orchestrating Shokin’s dismissal. Additionally, it is crucial to determine if Ciaramella himself believed in Shokin’s corruption, as his previous comments suggest otherwise. These uncomfortable but necessary questions should be directed at Ciaramella during his testimony before the House Oversight Committee.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that Ciaramella, an advocate for Ukraine aid, was taken aback by rumors in early 2016 about Shokin’s alleged corruption affecting US aid. His perspective on these matters is essential, especially considering his strong reaction to Trump’s withholding of aid for his personal campaign. It begs the question of how Ciaramella felt about Biden potentially withholding aid to benefit his son.
