Justice Coming: Tulsi Gabbard Just Issued Criminal Referrals in Adam Schiff’s Ukraine Impeachment Hoax
Democrats impeached a sitting president over a phone call using a complaint built on hearsay, bias, and buried evidence.
Now the man who filed that complaint is looking at a criminal referral.
And the inspector general who spent six years hiding the proof just got referred alongside him.
The Complaint They Never Wanted You to See
In August 2019, CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella filed a whistleblower complaint claiming Trump improperly pressured Ukraine's president during a phone call.
He hadn't heard the call himself.
His own intake form stated it plainly: "I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President."
That line never made it into the nine-page letter Adam Schiff released to kick off impeachment proceedings.
What Schiff also never told Congress: the intelligence community's own investigators had already flagged Ciaramella for potential bias before the impeachment circus even began.
Their memos documented that he was a registered Democrat who had traveled to Ukraine with Joe Biden, had participated in conversations about the exact corruption matter Trump asked Zelensky to investigate, believed right-wing bloggers had pushed him out of the Trump NSC, and had provided false information in the complaint itself.
Inspector General Michael Atkinson sat on every word of it.
The impeachment proceeded on the basis of a complaint Atkinson's own investigators had already flagged as compromised.
Those documents stayed classified for six years – until Tulsi Gabbard declassified them last week.
Four days later, she referred both men to the Justice Department for criminal investigation.

Schiff Knew and Said Nothing
The memos contain one detail that stands above the rest.
When Ciaramella filed his complaint in August 2019, he was asked to disclose any prior contact with congressional committees.
He left that box unchecked.
The problem: he had already huddled with Schiff's staff before submitting anything.
When that coordination surfaced in press reports, Ciaramella went back to Atkinson, admitted he hadn't checked the box, and apologized for any confusion his omission had caused.
Schiff, meanwhile, told MSNBC that his office had not spoken directly with the whistleblower – a statement that was, at best, a careful omission.
None of the apology, none of the coordination, none of the bias documentation reached Trump's defense team.
Alan Dershowitz, who defended Trump during the Senate trial, told Just the News the suppression was a direct betrayal of the rules governing the process – that exculpatory evidence about an accuser's credibility must reach the accused, especially in a proceeding designed to remove a duly elected president.
He has since said the newly released evidence gives Trump grounds to seek expungement of the 2019 House impeachment entirely, and House Judiciary leadership has confirmed the chamber is now moving to do exactly that.
What the Referral Changes
Gabbard's office confirmed the referrals in a direct statement: "ODNI can confirm a criminal referral was sent to DOJ related to one or more former employees of the Intelligence Community and their role in the 2019 impeachment of President Trump."
Federal prosecutors will now determine whether Ciaramella's false statements in an official proceeding cross the threshold for criminal charges.
Atkinson faces scrutiny for suppressing exculpatory evidence during a presidential impeachment trial.
Neither man ever expected to answer for any of this.
The entire architecture of the 2019 impeachment was built on one assumption – that the intelligence community could turn its own processes against a Republican president, bury the contradictory evidence, and walk away clean forever.
Gabbard just burned that assumption to the ground.
Every deep-state bureaucrat still sitting on a politically motivated complaint now knows something they didn't know last week: there is a price.
The Democrats spent years insisting the Ukraine impeachment was airtight, the complaint was credible, and the whistleblower was a patriot.
Turns out the investigators who first reviewed that complaint had a very different assessment – and Tulsi Gabbard just made sure the Justice Department gets to read it.
